Now her own parents worry that they will lose both grand-daughter and daughter, as the window to appeal closes in Saudi Arabia
"If Zaina can't leave, she won't leave," Bethany's mother Kathi tells CNN from their home in Wenatchee, Washington."We love our granddaughter," her father Myron also said."I think our deepest fear is that we might not ever see her again."Bethany, a 32-year-old student and yoga teacher, moved to Saudi Arabia to teach at a university in 2011. She recently divorced her Saudi husband, and sought custody of their four-year-old daughter.
"Knowing that it is in men's nature not to stay at home and not to honor/fulfill parental role themselves."Bethany was given until this Sunday to appeal the judge's custody ruling, and for now, the child remains with her. But her parents Kathi and Myron tell CNN that there is a warrant out for her arrest after she missed a child visitation from her ex-husband-- a visitation her parents say she didn't know about.
