Trial court’s finding of a grave risk of harm, in imposing conditions on child’s return to his country of habitual residence under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, was supported by sufficient evidence, including testimony of child’s therapist that child suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and testimony of independent court-appointed evaluator that issues regarding emotional abuse by the non-abducting parent “cannot be ruled out at this time,” and that evaluator feared child might have a “breakdown” if returned to non-abducting parent’s custody.
