hey lets have the whole story, its not very nice to have your kids stolen from you. how about you p c crowd tell the truth for once. look at your own research, dads are essenial to childrens emotional growth. look at your own town,city kids without fathers are in trouble the most.

When the police or anyone else resorts to tricks it only works the first time. Trust is broken. Next time they will have bodies on their hands: they have platonically killed a load of kids (in the future). It is particularly stupid when there was no reason to think that this guy was murderous.

Strange story and I agree we don't have the full picture. I find it amazing, though, how people will seize any opportunity to attack working women. This woman can still love her child just as much as any other woman, regardless of whether she works.

I would hardly call it "kidnap" in the ordinary sense of the word. He is the girls father and even though his wife had "blackmailed" him to give up rights it does not mean that he should be treated like a leper UNLESS he has done something wrong (and so far that has not been alleged) .

I hope our firm never gets the McKinsey guys in again, that's all I can say!

James, London, United Kingdom

Are we reading the same article?! He was a stay at home dad because she had an income and he didn't (that was traceable), he agreed to his daughter leaving the country rather than reveal his identity - and then kidnapped her, rather than fight for custody and be forced to reveal his birth name.

JB, Dubai, UAE

He didn't get custody because he refused to reveal his real identity and refused to provide the necessary information for the required background check. The mother's history was an open book, so the court's hands were tied. Believe me, this man isn't a good poster boy for father's rights.

She sounds like the kind of focussed, career-minded woman America is excellent at producing. Don't get on the wrong side of someone like this, as you will receive cold, single-minded fury in return. She feels that Right is entirely on her side. Mary Decker Slaney and the Zola incident spring to mind

Michael Holland, London, England

Certainly Rockefeller was wrong to kidnap the child, but I can't help but wonder about the mother, Sandra Boss. Doesn't it seem odd that she was married to Rockefeller for 10 years and didn't know who he was? I certainly wouldn't want her consulting with my company on strategy, organization, etc.

K. Kelly, Indianapolis,

Logic? What's logic got to do with it, when these high powered women want things their way they go to any lenths to get it.The father didn't "sell his rights"it was a divorce settlement! Yes I know money should only flow one way:the wife's way, but sometimes it works in reverse! Best wishes to him!

to S., Boston, USA: you dont get it, do you? The girl is in no way tramatized for been with daddy and the girl does not need to ask anyone why daddy done this because the answer is very simple: Love.

jr, bournemouth,

I have been in similar nonsense myself. I was falsely accused of kidnapping my son.

Invariably, there is a lot more to this story and similar ones than journalists seem able to handle. You bring up a child for years and then they won't let you take him for a walk in the park as you are "dangerous"

Alfred, Isle of Wight, UK

poorly written and very sloppy article, SHE took the child out of the childs country of residence.Too busy, why have children??
cant believe this is in print

barbarella, melbourne, australia

The father traumatized his daughter with this kidnapping. She'll spend the rest of her life trying to figure out why Daddy would do this to her, and yet some commenting can only think of the father's rights as opposed to an innocent 7 year old's. He sold his guardianship rights for money. Shame!

S., Boston, USA

Thank goodness this little girl has been found safe and well. I can't understand why the mother was granted custody if the father had been the childs main carer. Who was raising the child in London while the mother worked long hours? There must be so much more to this story we don't know.

Julie Bayfield, Woodbridge, UK

I don't know this man, but the real story behind those news is the way fathers are treated by family law in england. Its a disgreace that when mothers get costudy in 95% of cases, women still mouning about equality and discrimation. Shame on you.

jr, bournemouth,

I don't think it was the mother playing games, Paul. According to reports this man had numerous aliases and refused to prove his identity - this is why Ms Boss was granted custody of her daughter. All except the father have acted properly in this unfortunate series of events.

Ruth, Aberdeen,

So the guy was a stay at home father who gave up his child for 1.5m? And yet in another article on this site it claims she was awarded custody because it was feared he would kidnap the child. Well if he had custody, he would never of needed to kidnap her, so where would be the logic there?

Jamie brown, Maidstone, England

I agree with Paul in Newport. This sort of naive article seeks titillating stories rather than the whole truth. There is bound to be more to this than meets the eye. I mean, for starters - the mother taking the child away from her father by going to live in London, when she clearly needs both around

Balraj Bhopal, Leicester, England

You say that "Rockefeller [was], a stay-at-home father who had raised his daughter while her mother pursued her career" and yet claim that she was "freed" from her fathers apartment.

How much of this is simply demonising the father? Was the child rescued or is she simply a pawn in her mothers game?

Paul, Newport, UK
