A Romanian boy is involved in a scandal between his mother and his American father, accused of having taken him by force and taken him to Italy.

The boy's mother claims that his father, a former American soldier, took him by force and took him to Italy, acting on the basis of a court ruling. The images captured by surveillance cameras show how the father flees with the child, and he was allegedly transported by a private plane from Bulgaria. The mother states that she returned to Romania for financial reasons and that an Italian court decided that the boy should stay with her.
