http://www.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/053045p.pdf
District Court ordered return of parties' daughter to Argentinian father, whom appellant-mother had accused of abusing her and daughter. The 3d Circuit ordered a stay of the return order and remanded the case back to the district court -- which it said had created a "woefully incomplete" record -- for detailed fact-finding about the abuse, the ability of Argentinian authorities to protect the child, etc.
