Canadian               teen               Cody               LeCompte               is               being               held               in               Cuba               pending               the               outcome               of               an               investigation               into               a               traffic               accident               that               took               place               while               he               and               his               mother               were               vacationing               there               with               family               members               in               May               2010.

When               he               tried               to               board               an               airplane               home               at               the               end               of               his               trip,               airport               officials               would               not               let               him               leave               the               country.

In               all               likelihood               the               19-year-old               youth               will               not               be               allowed               to               return               to               Canada               for               at               least               another               month,               and               information               supplied               by               foreign               affairs               suggests               it               could               be               a               much               longer               wait.

The               traffic               accident               was               caused               by               a               dump               truck               that               slammed               into               LeCompte's               rental               car               at               an               intersection.

He               was               seriously               injured,               leaving               his               mother               worrying               for               a               time               if               he               would               survive               at               all.

Mother               Danette               LeCompte               has               spent               more               than               $12,000               paying               for               her               son               to               stay               at               a               Cuban               resort,               travelling               between               Canada               and               Cuba,               and               gathering               the               necessary               documents               for               Cody's               legal               defence.

Pleas               to               the               Department               of               Foreign               Affairs               went               unanswered               for               three               weeks,               and               at               the               moment               it               appears               they               are               not               intervening.

Spokesperson               Dana               Cryderman               pointed               to               the               fact               that               Canada's               travel               advisory               does               warn               Canadians               against               driving               in               Cuba.

She               could               not               comment               on               the               details               of               the               case               for               reasons               of               privacy.

"Canadian               consular               officials               are               following               the               case               very               closely               with               Cuban               authorities,"               she               offered.
               "Traffic               accidents               are               a               frequent               cause               of               arrest               and               detention               of               Canadians               in               Cuba.

Accidents               resulting               in               death               or               injury               are               treated               as               crimes,               and               the               onus               is               on               the               driver               to               prove               innocence,"               says               Canada's               travel               advisory               for               Cuba.

It               further               warns               that               drivers               can               be               arrested               pending               court               proceedings,               and               that               insurance               can               be               revoked               if               the               driver               is               found               to               be               in               any               way               at               fault               for               an               accident.

It               is               not               uncommon               for               drivers               to               be               detained               for               several               months,               or               even               a               year               while               awaiting               trial.

Drivers               can               also               be               prevented               from               leaving               Cuba               until               they               have               paid               damages,               which               "can               range               into               the               thousands               of               U.S.

dollars."
               "My               credit               cards               are               maxed,               my               whole               life's               been               turned               upside               down,"               Danette               LeCompte               says.

"But               all               I               care               about               is               getting               my               son               home."
               Canadians               have               grown               used               to               foreign               affairs               refrains               of               "privacy               issues"               and               dealing               with               matters               "diplomatically"               in               recent               years.

Calls               for               the               Harper               government               to               pick               up               the               slack               and               address               concerns               of               Canadians               abroad               more               promptly               are               invariably               met               with               reassurances               that               the               department               is               "following               the               case               closely."               This               has               not               stopped               a               number               of               Canadians               from               suffering               while               abroad               in               recent               years.

She               finally               had               to               submit               to               a               complex               process               involving               DNA               testing,               when               Canadian               officials               refused               to               use               more               conventional               means               to               confirm               her               identity.
               Thunder               Bay,               Ontario               residents               Cheryl               Everall               and               Kimberly               Kim               were               falsely               accused               by               Mexican               police               of               committing               a               double               murder               while               in               that               country               to               celebrate               the               wedding               of               friends               in               2006.

The               two               women,               "frustrated               by               federal               inaction,"               launched               a               web               site               to               proclaim               their               innocence               and               to               ask               public               support               for               a               petition               to               Prime               Minister               Harper               asking               for               travel               advisories               that               more               accurately               reflect               the               dangers               of               travelling               to               certain               parts               of               Mexico.
               Noah               Kirkman               was               ten               years               old               when               Oregon               police               saw               him               out               riding               his               bicycle               without               a               helmet.

They               kept               an               eye               on               him               during               the               summer               of               2008,               while               he               stayed               with               his               stepfather.

The               man               had               his               stepson's               birth               certificate               and               passport,               and               a               signed               letter               of               consent               from               the               boy's               mother               for               him               to               be               caring               for               the               child               while               she               moved               from               Montreal               to               Calgary.

Oregon               police               notified               child               welfare               authorities               after               several               incidents               of               mischief.

Youth               authorities               in               the               state               took               custody               of               the               child,               and               did               not               return               him               to               family               in               Canada               until               two               years               had               passed.
               Nazia               Quazi               is               a               24-year-old               woman               who,               while               travelling               under               a               Canadian               passport,               was               effectively               kidnapped               by               her               father               in               Saudi               Arabia.

Although               neither               is               a               citizen               of               the               country,               Quazi's               father               seems               to               have               taken               advantage               of               Saudi               laws               that               give               custody               of               any               woman               to               her               male               relatives,               in               order               to               keep               her               away               from               a               fiance               he               did               not               feel               was               suitable.

He               imprisoned               his               daughter               in               Saudi               Arabia               for               three               years,               before               taking               her               to               Dubai               to               rejoin               her               fiance.

"I               guess               he               cannot               handle               it               -               his               name               being               spoiled               in               the               media,"               said               Bjorn               Singhal.

Although               Quazi's               case               attracted               attention               from               government               officials,               foreign               affairs               stressed               that               Canada               could               not               interfere               with               the               application               of               laws               in               a               foreign               nation.
