A U.S. court has issued a summons to the woman who adopted a seven-year-old Russian boy and later put him on a plane back to Moscow with a note saying that she didn't want him anymore.
The woman, Tory-Ann Hansen, has been ordered to appear at a child support hearing, Russian Children’s Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov said on Thursday.
Hansen said she sent the boy back in April 2010 because he was violent and had psychological problems.
Russia wants the woman to pay about $2,500 a month to care for the boy, who is now living at an orphanage, until he reaches age 18. Hansen has refused to settle. In December 2011, her legal counsel filed a motion to dismiss child support claims made by the adoption agency, the World Association for Children and Parents (WACAP).
