In a child abduction case involving 3 Mexican born children, a New York federal court judge has ruled that the children can remain in the United States, along with their mother, who fled Mexico in 2010 seeking to hide from allegedly abusive husband.

In so ruling, the court noted that the oldest child was now beyond the reach of the Hague Convention, which only applies to children under 16 years of age, and to order the two younger children back to Mexico at this time would "further fracture the family unit".
