Come on man! What would you do as a parent in this case? Bring him with you just so you don't miss him or let him stay wherever is better for him? He has been going to school there all his life, wouldn't bringing him here for an unknown period of time harm his academic career?
I'm impressed that you think about one's country while lying; I sincerely hope everybody does that. However also remember that you are reading the same article as I am. So unless you personally know these people, your assumption that they are lying and getting only cheap publicity is as good as mine that they are not and they deserve some sympathy.
However certainly the whole story is not being told. The political asylum issue especially sounds very suspicious and I agree to the decision that they were deported. I'm sympathetic simply from a humanitarian point of view.
