Causa 32.202- menores Frouman E. y otros s/ Inf. Art. 10 Ley 10.067.
Case number 32.202 - the minors Frouman, E. and others regarding Art. 10 of Law 10.067.

On December 19, 1990, Case number 32.202 was ratified in the Tribunal de Menores de Mercedes (Minor's Court of Mercedes) in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The case was filed by an American citizen, Ruth Frouman, who alleged that Stuart Baylin and The Family refused to return four of her children after she was expelled from the group eight months after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The court ordered that her four children be returned and presented to the court. Instead, two years after her death in March 1991, Stuart Baylin and Claire Borowik presented only the two eldest children to the court on April 13, 1993. In May 1993, these two children were returned to their relatives in the United States and in the same month, Stuart Baylin fled with the two younger children to Uraguay. In September 1993, he once again fled with the missing children to Brazil and from there to Mexico.

Marquevich in San Isidro.[2] Thus, Causa 32.202 helps lay a foundation for Causa 81/89 which eventually results in raids on Family Homes in Argentina.
