" Fox debuted at bringing you the story at eight year old -- McCarty you've seen him there. Back when he was younger because. He was kidnapped by his mother from his New York City kindergarten and taken to Italy almost three years ago. Then six months ago a tiny -- took we have away from his mother citing emotional abuse and putting it into an orphanage in Rome. Why can't his American father. Yet Leon back Fox News legal analyst Arthur. Joins us he has a law practice in Italy and Arthur welcome hopefully you can helps shed some light because what Americans and our viewers can not understands. It's how a five year old can be plucked from his New York City kindergarten. Whisked away to Italy illegally. And for three years his American father not be able to get him -- what's going on. Wells."

" Very given eleven instant answer I think there's a cultural aspect that's going on. Because what is very clear is that Michael father has won custody in the New York. He's been through the court's historic he's been investigated by the Manhattan district attorney's office. Michael's been deemed to be a fit father that has full custody which in New York -- that an easy thing to do to a just eliminate the mom so portrait. Her actions were so nasty that the court said that the mom you lose all your rights she now lives in Italy with a child's. Technically child supposed to be his grandparents but we think -- with him what. He's with his mom but nobody really knows where he is and that's what's really troubling."

" That's right you -- a -- point he is officially basically missing correct at this point because the last when he knew he was in. At Italy's version of an orphanage because the courts in Italy deemed the mom. -- she was emotionally or psychologically abusive he was taken away from her but now he's missing. How can Italian courts allow all Leon's whereabouts not to be known."

" It is it is very troubling I know that Michael -- attorneys are actually now pursuing charges against the Italian judges who are involved in this case. And the Italian division department of social services because they're being shown on responsive and practicing law and Italy we'll tell you. The did system in general is much more relaxed than. Those of the slower pace in our American system does but even for the Italian system this is beyond them. Believable. And it's it's it's may be somewhat culture -- because. It's not typical in Italy to take a mother away from her child and then allow that child to go to another country. So I think they're very reluctant to allow to happen even though they've acknowledged. That's. She's not really good -- at all let me -- and that Michael should have custody of his child."

" I still for investigating this do you think the -- is very hard for at times to separate a child from. Their mother permanently. And give into the father that just makes no sense in Italy and maybe that's at the root of all of this."

" It's a we hope Sami Michael the data and ended a spectacular job doing everything he possibly can and using every resource. From speaker from guns Schumer the United States senator just senators all over the country pushing the State Department. To get his son -- desperate story that needs to stay alive and congratulations to you by keeping little."

" Thank you very much our audience has always wanted to know the fate of Little League and -- who they see here they can get more information. At save helium dot org and hopefully next week in the weeks to come we will be until you've got -- break through. At the State Department or elsewhere Arthur write off thanks so much for coming on to help -- plan."
