Claudia Ciampa, the woman whose ex-partner allegedly took her seven-month-old son from Campania to the United States, is having a hard time finding peace. In an attempt to find a solution as soon as possible, the mother wrote a letter to Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, hoping for the Farnesina's intervention and collaboration with the US: "I am desperate and I need your help - we read in the letter - and the support of the entire Government to be able to hug my little Ethan again".
According to the woman, the newborn would have been taken away from her by deception by her ex-boyfriend and father of the child. The man, an American, would have acted last August 30 during a vacation in Puglia. "This is a dramatic situation that is not easy to resolve and also requires interventions in international diplomatic offices", we read in another excerpt of the letter in which the mother underlines that for 40 days the child, born in Cincinnati but resident in Piano di Sorrento (Naples), therefore with dual Italian-American citizenship, "has been kept in a secret location, probably American", far from her who was still breastfeeding him".
"At most - Claudia Ciampa recalls - the father makes a video call a day to show the child to the mother for a few moments, without betraying his position in any way". There is a complaint against the man for international child abduction , filed on the morning of August 30. The legal case is being constantly followed by the lawyer Gian Ettore Gassani, president of the Association of Italian Matrimonial Lawyers, who immediately activated all the procedures provided for by the 1980 International Convention of The Hague in the context of cooperation between States.
The lawyer, through a series of television appearances, has repeatedly tried to make the child's father see reason, asking the Farnesina to intervene promptly to resolve a dramatic situation that is now also being played out on a diplomatic level between two states.
