Summary
States that the House of Representatives condemns the abduction of Dylan Benwell from his home in the United States, the country of his custodial mother's domicile. Calls upon the Government of Ireland to: (1) recognize that this matter does not pertain to the custodial rights of Dylan's maternal grandparents, a matter already decided by the courts, and instead relates to a violation of U.S. law and the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction; and (2) secure the prompt return of Dylan to the United States.
