Runaway Teen Samantha Hernandez Flees to Brazil, Sparking International Custody Case

My article is about this girl, who is only 15 years old, that fled to Brazil with her online boyfriend. She had a fake passport. The girl said the only way she will come home is in a body bag.
She has been in Brazil since last month and her case has caught the attention of the State Department  and the FBI... Her mother says that she hopes her lil girl has a change in heart and wants to come home.. The young girl says that she plans on staying there for the rest of her life.. On Good Morning America this morning, they said that the Government in Brazil won't send her back and that the girl was in custody of the boyfriends family.. My question is, Since the girl is a minor and a citizen of the United States, Do you think that the Brazilian Government should be aloud to put her into custody of the boyfriends family and not have to send her back home???

  1. if it is what she wants them she should get to stay there. i do not know what the law is but i think if you are 15 or older i think you should be able to decide who you want to live with

  2. I think the girl should come home because she met this boy online. She is a miner and should not be able to make those kind of decisions by herself.
