Man sues Continental in child custody case: "A former Kansas City man has sued Continental Airlines for allowing his ex-wife to fly to Mexico with their 3-year-old daughter without his permission.
The mother, Aline Rivas-Vera, was charged in June by a Kansas City federal grand jury with international parental kidnapping. She and her daughter haven't been found.
Didier Combe, who filed the lawsuit Monday in federal court in Massachusetts, where he now lives, contends that Continental did not follow its own policies or Mexican law when it allowed Rivas-Vera to take the girl, Chloe, from Kansas City to Mexico City.
The lawsuit says Continental's policies and Mexican law both require a single parent traveling with a minor child to present a notarized letter from the absent parent authorizing travel into Mexico.
'By not following its own stated company guidelines or the relevant international laws in place to protect children, Continental Airlines was complicit and participated in the abduction of my daughter,' Combe said. 'This airline failed to protect my little girl.'"
