In 2012, my son Jerry  was kidnapped by his Slovakian mother, who fled to Europe with Jerry and his half brother, Sasha Hummel, both American boys.

We have a happy ending. Jerry and Sasha are now home safe. But I cannot forget those who are still looking for their loved ones. There is a need for well-written protective legislation for children. International abductions are especially difficult with their ever-changing laws from country to country and their relations with the US.  It is maddening how difficult it is to navigate.

I am now hoping to put in motion a movement, through the Bring Jerry Home community, to start the process of instituting change.  It starts with people, a proven force of nature that helped bring us our happy ending.  I am hoping that same force will help us grow this community as we come together to make a difference in the lives of children.
