Has there been a follow-up to this story? I know the father was waiting patiently in darkest Africa for his child to be returned to him.

i saw him on television a tad later, and he was wearing new clothes and had a big grin on his face. his strategy probably worked.

urgh... i dont really read the madonna gossip. but i guess the little geezer's in a good situation with her, and can always go back to his dad when he's 18 with loads of money to share and make everyone happy.

You've almost completely parroted what the bitch herself said. Typical Western arrogance. "I was saving him from having to be African. Now he can be American and help save the world."

Stolen goods? You mean the music fads she has ruthlessly latched onto over the past 20 or so years? God I hate Madonna.

Depends on how you take it. Seems fishy to me that the father went along with it first, and then decided later that she kidnapped his kid. Seems he's going for publicity and money, but maybe that's just me.
And if the father did consent to Madonna taking custody of his son, then what's wrong with it? I hardly think he'd have a hard life!

Wait there -- were you present at the proceedings? Because the father says he certainly didn't hand over his child to Madonna for her to fly him to America. He was totally hoodwinked. And does parenthood mean so little to you that you think it's OK to separate a child from his parent so you can "educate" it and bring it up in some grotesque form of childhood? You have sunk to new fucking lows you scumbag. I hope you'll feel ashamed of yourself when you look back upon the words "..what's wrong with it? I hardly think he'd have a hard life!" Go buy an iPhone you moronic puddle.

Heh, you're such a loser. Were YOU at the proceedings? The father said he didn't have over his child after the fact. All I'm saying is it seems like he agreed to it at first, realzed he'd have a chance to drain some money out of Madonna, and then changed his story.
And yes, I think it's fine for the child to be raised by someone other then their real parents, if the parent agrees to this, or if the environment where the child would be raised is to bad. Celebrities usually take a bad rap whenever they do something good. It's like a lose lose situation for them because they're almost expected to use their money and influence for good, yet they're criticized if they do. So I guess this time I'm just taking the view that maybe the celebrity wasn't doing this only for a publicity stunt.

As I said, the father of the child said he never consented to it. Because he's not a famous rich white celebrity you disbelieve him? Because he's a poor black African you think he and the child's family are unfit to raise the child? And you call me a loser?
That man is waiting for his child to be returned to him, his child, and you're going on about celebrities getting a bad rap...

I don't know either way what the intentions of Madonna or the father were in this situation, and niether do you despite what the father said after the fact. I'm just saying that it's probably just as likely that the father agreed to give Madonna his son, and then changed his mind to try and get money out of Madonna as it is that Madonna kidnapped the child. But hey, I can't be 100% sure, just giving my opinion. If you think I'm an idiot because of that, fine. I'm sure I'll survive knowing your opinion of me has been tarnished!

Yes, often times they probably are. They probably don't know any better. However, how would it suck to have some rich person offer to give you a better life? If everyone consented to it, how is that bad? Just because the rich person would raise the kid doesn't mean the kid would never have contact with his real family. Maybe the kid would be able to go to college and make a better life for himself, and then provide a better life for his real family.

they know better in the sense that they are closely knit, and value each others company far more than material pursuits. they more a person is given, the more they want for, its an endless cycle.

I'm not wondering why I look like a fucking idiot, I'm wondering how you can spout some much trash over the years and still not be banned.
Man, I really could care less what you think of me, or anyone else here for that matter. I quit posting on this site for years, most because of dumbass people like you who just ruined the site and just made it a chore to use. I see you're still at it, so maybe I'll lose interest again. Either way though, I'm sure I'll survive.

My fingers are crossed that you'll drop out once more. I'm not banned because I'm not a dumbass spouting trash. I'm sure there's a celebrity out there waiting for you to leap to their defence. Why not defend Mel Gibson and say how he's been unfairly treated.

fathers in africa don't want to have anything to do with their kid if the mother dies. a female next of kin, a grandma, an aunt is supposed to raise the child. if there isn't one the child is screwed.
this is what i heard concerning aids-made orphans. i don't know wether this is the exact same case here.
i do however think madonna thought she did a good thing, and also most probably did.
i think marlowe is are the arrogant one in post [#02029319]. because you could just explain your point of view to the less enlightnent ones instead of calling people arrogant

Madonna is initiating her global campaign to adopt at least one child from each continent on Earth (Antarctica included). I'd be surprised if Parker and Stone hadn't already put out a South Park episode based on this.
