Did the family ever go on vacation when they were together? If so, was it out of State, country? IIRC, Julia has family in Canada. Did Sky ever leave the country as a baby? Did he have a passport?
She did admit to that (or so we've heard) but there's questions about how long Sky has actually been missing (and, we've all learned how reliable, truthful, and accurate JB's words are). Sky may have been missing since June, July, August, September....who knows at this point? JB is saying she left him unattended during the mediation and she's saying she left him unattended in the car that day. But, we can't prove it because we don't when Sky actually disappeared. And, frankly, she says a lot of stuff that isn't true. So, if she's convicted for neglecting him during the mediation but it later comes out that she "disappeared" him months prior, then what? It can't be both. I'm in no way a legal expert, but I just can't see how you can charge someone with two crimes that might be mutually exclusive.
That said, I think they should proceed with neglect charges for M in regards to leaving her unattended during the mediation and for not feeding her to a very severe level. There's evidence for that and no potential for double jeopardy. Believe me, I think JB belongs behind bars at this point.
Hopefully, Gitana or someone else with legal expertise can shed light on this. If they charge JB with neglect for Sky but he was actually "disappeared" months prior and they find this out after she's already been convicted for neglect, can they charge her with murder? Does the conviction for neglect get dismissed? What happens? Also, would a prosecutor be likely to move forward when the only proof is the mother's word (which she may later rescind)? Thanks in advance!
The picture above was taken at the hotel pool, correct? That would have been in March or April of last year?
Since the date of the picture, Sky has turned 3; is that right?
In a very early press conference, LE stated that Sky did not have a passport.
Solomon Metalwala had blocked Julia Biryukova from obtaining passports for the children or traveling with them out of state, according to attorney, because of fears that she would disappear with the children.
According to this article, SM prevented JB from obtaining passports for either of the children. She also couldn't cross the state line with them (though how could that be enforced given that seemingly no one was keeping tabs on their whereabouts or well-being).

He could be across the country in Vermont and nobody would even know about Sky Metalwala unless a suspicious person spots someone who may not have had a child and now does. Even at that...Shawn Hornbeck was in his own State and nobody recognized him.
So yes I agree, she could have secreted him out of state and nobody would even know.
Julia Biryukova Pro User says:
I want to share one single photostream of 200 pictures with a friend and I want to keep everything else private. I do not want "this friend" to be able to look at anything in my flicker account and at no other streams, ONLY THE 1 PHOTOSTREAM that I want to share with her.
thank you for your help,

I'm still wondering what this was all about.....
