Dad tricks officials into helping kidnap son, police say

There's an international manhunt under way for Jean Philippe Lacombe, who allegedly tricked Texas authorities into helping him kidnap his son. Literally, police pulled the 10-year-old off his school bus as he kicked and begged not to be given to his dad. Dad had presented legal paperwork from Mexico that was either falsified or misunderstood. Here's what Mom had to say:

"The lawyers didn't make a right investigation of what the ... documents said, because I had the custody … so they didn't even call the judge in Mexico or the court in Mexico … they just believed what Jean Philippe brought to them," Diaz said.

Dad could be almost anywhere. He has Mexican and French citizenship, is married to a Russian woman and has a lot of money.
