NV. Few would disagree that parental consent should be given before a passport is Issued to a minor child. This problem that Barbara Spierer had would not have taken place if our laws did not permit such easy procurement of passports for minors. and in short what this amendment will require is that both parents will have to sign before you can get a visa granted to a child. or If not both parents the parent with the custody of the child would have to sign and allow the child to get the passport. Current law Is an invitation to engage in the grossest of misbehavior by a scurrilous parent and usually. not for any reason that relates to the child. they want to get back at the husband or the wife or the mother or the father. I wish the situation of Barbara Spierer and her son Mikey were an isolated incident. but it is not.
