Mom who sent boy to Russia must pay

-

A U.S. woman must pay child support for the adopted son she sent back to Russia, a judge has ruled.

Torry Hansen sent the boy, then 7, to his native Russia on a plane in April 2010. The case sparked outrage in Russia, and Hansen was never criminally charged.

The adoption agency sued for child support and other damages that will be held in a trust for the boy, who now lives in a group home in Russia. The judge will hear arguments in May on how much Hansen should pay.
