	Blondin - LoveToKnow 1911
		BLONDIN (1824-1897), French tight-rope walker and acrobat, was born at St Omer, France, on the 28th of February 1824.
		When five years old he was sent to the Ecole de Gymnase at Lyons and, after six months' training as an acrobat, made his first public appearance as "The Little Wonder." His superior skill and grace as well as the originality of the settings of his acts, made him a popular favourite.
		In 1861 Blondin first appeared in London, at the Crystal Palace, turning somersaults on stilts on a rope stretched across the central transept, 170 ft. from the ground.

		The Court also rejected Blondin's suggestion that the children could be returned to France in the custody of some third party, ruling that the children would be returned, if at all, only in their mother's custody.
		Dubois testified that Blondin began beating her in 1991; in some instances, he would do so while she was holding Marie-Eline, with the result that some of Blondin's blows would fall on Marie-Eline.
		Although one possibility would be to require Blondin to pay for their housing elsewhere, he represented to the Court, during discussions about scheduling a hearing, that he had "no more money" and could not afford the cost even of airfare.

	Blondin v. Dubois
		On this appeal, we conclude that the Hague Convention requires a more complete analysis of the full panoply of arrangements that might allow the children to be returned to the country from which they were (concededly) wrongfully abducted, in order to allow the courts of that nation an opportunity to adjudicate custody.
		Blondin and Dubois met in the summer of 1990 and soon began living together in France, though they never wed.
		For the foregoing reasons, we vacate the judgment of the District Court and remand the cause for further proceedings consistent with this opinion, including the further consideration of remedies that would allow the children's safety to be protected pending a final adjudication of custody in France.
