What I Think

My feelings regarding this issue are somewhat bitter/sweet. Everyone affected in this ordeal is not guilty, but they'll endure pain just the same. I don't buy into the notion that the He's didn't know what they were doing. At least that Jack He didn't. The father was a college professor at at the "University Of Memphis". He by no means was a dumb uneducated man. Would they hire someone who didn't speak english? In my opinion, to the contrary he is quite smart.

I think the girls mother is the victim here. She didn't and still doesn't speak good english. Theody father got mixed up in a sex scandal, for supposedly trying to speak the universal language to a female student. Charges were eventually dropped, due to the girl not following through. Which is not unusal in rape cases. I think he signed away his daughter, in attempt to stay out of jail. If you ask me, the problems at the house caught up with him. "If momma isn't happy, nobody is." She didn't know what was happening to her daughter, but her husband did.

  1. Hes to leave for China by May 2

    Chinese-born Jack and Casey He, who regained custody of their daughter after a seven-year court battle, were granted voluntary departure status this afternoon by an immigration judge, clearing the way for their return to their native China.

    Voluntary departure is a compromise available to non-citizens facing deportation, which would have barred them from seeking a return to the United States for at least 10 years.

    Jack He said he wants his three American-born children, including 9-year-old Anna Mae, to meet their four aging grandparents for the first time.

    He said he could make a comfortable living for his family as a professor in China, but that if the children want to return to the United States he would seek a job with a company here that would sponsor him.

    He has been in the United States without authorization since 1999.

    U.S. Immigration Judge Lawrence Burman, who four years ago allowed the Hes to stay until the custody issue was resolved, granted the He’s request today and gave them until May 2 to leave the country voluntarily.

    “I’m sorry you ran into so many problems in the United States,” Burman told He and his wife, “but it proves our legal system works, eventually.”

    The Hes regained custody of their daughter last July after putting her in temporary foster care when she was a month old.
