This comment bothers me in the sense that you are only address one side of this issue. Yes, the man may be a pervert… but what about the women who are willing to sleep with a man like this? Should we call them classless ticas? what values is she going to instill in her daughter… sleep with anyone for money? Is this the way you want the younger generation of Ticas to be raised?

Another creepy 70 year old man who couldn’t keep it in his pants, thereby entangling himself in this morass. Oh yeah, she loved him for his charm, good looks and virility. If he was so stupid, he deserves everything she throws at him. Idiot gringo pervert.

Wow do you think foreigners get a fair shake here in “Paradise” ? It is obvious that the combined excitement by the OIJ to get a “Gringo” and the complete disorganization of their overall operations were fully exposed on this one. The sad thing is they will not even realize it and work to fix the problem. The mother is obviously a greedy uncaring waste of a human being with no morals or ethics, “surprise”. I feel sorry for the daughter and father, good luck to you both in the future and I hope you get some peace in your lives.

I would advise calming down, but otherwise think you make a crucial point: The kind of mother that would do this kind of thing (and evidently do it repeatedly) is not a good parent. Her custody of the kid could and perhaps should therefore be challenged. There is no a priori reason to assume that the mother is a better custodial parent than the father, or hell better than an uncle or grandmother. CR’s tendency to assume that all mothers are saints is counterproductive sexism that needs to be changed.

But we probably don’t know enough about this situation to render judgment. The father seems a bit old, which makes granting custody to him risky, and for all we know he’s not a saint either. Plus there’s the stability of the kid’s home to think about. Sometimes it’s better to leave the custodial situation as it is, even if the initial decision was a mistake.

The best we can hope for–and insist upon–is that this woman be compelled to cease with the nonsense and to deal with the father as a co-parent. I’m not sure, but filing a false kidnapping charge could be a crime itself. If it is, there should be some leverage to force the mother to behave, even perhaps to force her into parenting classes.

So many issues here first OIJ showing their collective incompetence, can’t find their own ass without a flashlight and a map.
What he is going though has happened to many ex pat living here and getting involved and stuck with selfish greedy and dangerous Tica’s.
I knew there was more to this story good luck Dr. Lukensmeyer. Like I said the child the victim in all of this. Daughter being used by the mother as a bartering chip for more and more money. .

The US should have a travel advisory for its citizens to warn them of the dangers of meeting a Tica and how it could adversely change your life, especially financially. This kind of thing happens over and over again. When you tell your wives you’re going deep sea fishing be aware that the chances are you will get eaten by a shark.

I’m glad you got the retraction up & know you were just reporting
info you THOUGHT was accurate (ahhhh – life in Costa Rica!!).

This is BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From what is “allegedly” being reported (covering MY ass), this woman does not seem to be showing signs of being capable of being a healthy fit LOVING mother or she would not subject her INNOCENT child to this bull$&!% behavior/ABUSE!!! Any dog can breed – but that does not a parent make!! IF she IS doing all this, is she not EMOTIONALLY & MENTALLY ABUSING this child by playing these games (as well as EVERYONE involved that supports her CRAP)??

Sadly, we see this over & over in Costa Rica (I have PERSONALLY known a few men where this type of $*!@ has happened – either from the gold diggers that SAY they were abused [when I KNEW for a FACT that it was the gal that started &/or did ALL the physical abuse she claimed – even going as far as hurting herself to “prove” he hurt her as she was psycho & ) & it’s HORRIFIC that the courts, etc. allow this to happen.

I’m not defending this man since I don’t know him personally – I’m just going by what the law says that he’s proven but who I AM defending is this INNOCENT CHILD!!

(I’m a Children’s Advocate hence I tend to loose it when people inflict damage to children because they are still wounded children themselves that have not resolved their own issues).

Why does it seem more & more Costa Rica is not wanting foreigners here – especially when we are RARELY protected???
