Father of Abducted Daughter makes TV plea

Hollywood Actor/Producer, Josef Cannon appeared on the highly rated "Late Late Show" with host Pat Kenny in Dublin, Ireland where he spoke about his ten year search and transatlantic court battles for his abducted daughter Shelby Nicole Cannon. Shelby had been taken from America by her non-costodial mother, Catherin Bridget Collins of Navan Ireland who used identities stolen from a graveyard cemetary in order to flea the U.S. authorities, who have a felony arrest warrant out on her for Parental Kidnapping Charges.

  1. Dear Mr. Cannon,
    I just read your story online. I was surprised to find a happy ending, but obviously delighted for you and your daughter. My infant granddaughter was abducted by her brazilian mother to Brazil this February, 2009. My son has been fighting since her birth to have equal access, his basic right to be involved in his daughter's life and to help raise her. He was looked upon by the judge as a 'jealous boyfriend' not wanting to let go. That was not true, he wared everyone of the mother's threats to take the child, but it fell on deaf ears. We have learned that the local police, the FBI the US State Dept they all put out the right words, about helping left behind parents, but that's it...just words, no action at all. It appears Brazil is a safe haven for child abductors and it's sad the US doesn't fight harder in assisting parents to get their children back. I am curious as to how you were able to get your daughter back? Any suggestions. We know we can't depend on the 'system'. Again, congratulations to you and your daughter for having the opportunity to be in each other's lives.
