American man stolen as a baby in Chile meets mother at 42


By CNN's Rafael Romo


Published 3:05 AM EDT, Sat September 9, 2023


Jimmy Lippert Thyden says he always knew he was adopted. He also knew that he had been born not in the United States, but in Chile. Raised in Virginia by very loving and committed adoptive parents, he says he never lacked anything. The 42-year-old who served in the US Marines is now an attorney who is married and has two young daughters.


“I was told that I was given up for adoption out of love,” Thyden said. “Given by a mother who loved me and wanted the best for me: a life full of opportunity, education and meaning.”


That all started to change in 2012 when his adoptive mother gave him his adoption paperwork as he was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. Thyden says that when he started looking closely at the adoption files, he found out that there were many discrepancies and inconsistencies.


There was one document that said he had no known father or mother. Another provided the name of a biological mother and her address. A third document specified the baby had no living relatives, and a fourth stated that he had been given up for adoption days after birth. Yet another document said he had been given up for adoption when he was two years old.


Thyden says it was not until a few months ago, when his wife read about the case of Scott Lieberman, that he became actively engaged in uncovering the truth about his adoption.


As CNN reported in May, Lieberman, the 42-yearold American from San Francisco, had also been adopted from Chile and had recently found out that he had been stolen as a baby. That’s how Thyden learned about “Nos Buscamos” (We Search for Each Other), a Chilean non-profit organization devoted to helping people stolen as babies find their biological parents and families. 


During the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, from 1973 to 1990, many babies were funneled to adoption agencies. Some of the children came from rich families, who in many cases gave up babies born out of wedlock. Other babies from poorer backgrounds were simply stolen.


Chilean officials say the number of stolen babies could be in the thousands, but the country’s investigation into the controversial adoptions has languished. Some who took part in the illegal adoptions have died. Many clinics or hospitals where the babies were allegedly stolen no longer exist.


After reaching out to “Nos Buscamos,” Thyden says he got an email the next day from its director, Constanza del Río, who told him to call her right away. With the help of MyHeritage, an online genealogy company, Thyden got a match within a few weeks. When the match came back, del Río says she knew the next step was making a phone call to María Angélica González, 69, a woman who had believed for decades her son had died shortly after being born.


“She could not believe it. She thought it was a joke in poor taste because she had been told her premature baby boy had died,” del Río said. Del Río says González had been told the baby’s body had been disposed of in the trash. During the Pinochet dictatorship, when several thousand people were killed and disappeared, asking too many questions or protesting in a loud way could be dangerous. (Chile will mark the 50th anniversary of the coup that brought Pinochet to power on September 11.)


Learning the truth has been bittersweet for Thyden. He’s happy to finally know his true origins but sad about what his biological mother went through.


After three agonizing months, he was finally able to travel to Chile to give his biological mother the hug that had to wait for 42 years. When they met in the southern city of Valdivia in mid-August, he was finally able to utter the words he had been rehearsing for weeks. “Hola, mamá!,” he said when they finally embraced.


Thyden says that learning the truth has also been painful because his adoptive parents were also lied to and victimized. He says his adoptive parents first contacted an adoption agency in Virginia and specifically asked to adopt a child the right way, through a reputable agency, something that they put in writing.


“It’s not wasted on me that I recognize that I’m blessed in the fact that I have loving families on both sides of the equator. Are those things that I did because of where I was or are those things that I did because they are at the core of who I am?,” said Thyden, who pointed out that he says “mom” or “mother” when he’s speaking about his American adoptive mother and “mamá” when he refers to his Chilean, biological mother.


In the end, he says, the wisdom about what happened to him came from his five-year-old daughter, who told him if a bad thing hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t be here. And her father, she told him, has not one but two families who love him deeply.

EUA vetam apelo do Conselho de Segurança por "pausa humanitária" na guerra entre Israel e Hamas



Por Caitlin Hu e Richard Roth, CNN Atualizado às 14h41 EDT, quarta-feira, 18 de outubro de 2023




Os Estados Unidos vetaram um projeto de resolução no Conselho de Segurança da ONU que pedia uma pausa humanitária na Gaza sitiada, gerando mais críticas à paralisia política no poderoso organismo global.

O breve projeto de resolução, proposto pelo Brasil, condenou os ataques terroristas de 7 de outubro em Israel pelo grupo militante palestino Hamas, que mataram mais de 1.400 pessoas, e pediu a libertação dos reféns.

O documento também apelou a todas as partes para que cumpram o direito internacional e protejam as vidas civis na Faixa de Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, em meio a uma feroz retaliação por parte de aviões de guerra israelenses. A comunidade internacional deve planejar "pausas humanitárias" nos combates para permitir a entrega de ajuda, afirmou.

Doze dos 15 membros do conselho aprovaram o projeto na quarta-feira, com a abstenção do Reino Unido e da Rússia, e o veto dos EUA.

Falando após a votação, a embaixadora dos EUA na ONU, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, explicou que os EUA queriam mais tempo para deixar a diplomacia americana em campo "se desenrolar". Os EUA já haviam adiado a votação da resolução.

Thomas-Greenfield também criticou o texto por não mencionar o direito de Israel à autodefesa — um ponto posteriormente ecoado pela representante britânica Barbara Woodward.

Desde os ataques do Hamas, Israel vem bombardeando Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, com ataques aéreos. Também cortou o acesso de 2 milhões de pessoas aos enclaves, incluindo alimentos, água e eletricidade.

Mais de 3.000 pessoas morreram nos ataques israelenses — incluindo mais de 1.000 crianças e dezenas de trabalhadores humanitários — e especialistas da ONU estão alertando sobre um desastre generalizado se a água e a eletricidade não forem restauradas.

Em Nova York, vários membros do Conselho de Segurança expressaram decepção e frustração pelo fracasso de uma declaração conjunta sobre a importância da ajuda e da proteção civil.

“Infelizmente, muito tristemente, o conselho mais uma vez não conseguiu adotar uma resolução sobre esses conflitos. Mais uma vez, o silêncio e a inação prevaleceram. Sem o verdadeiro interesse de longo prazo de ninguém”, disse o Embaixador da ONU no Brasil, Sergio Franca Danese, após o veto.

O Conselho de Segurança "perdeu uma oportunidade", disse o representante francês Nicolas de Rivière à imprensa após a votação. "Lamentamos profundamente que este texto tenha sido rejeitado", disse ele.

Falando ao conselho, a embaixadora dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, Lana Nusseibah, disse que a resolução não era um "texto perfeito", mas que seu país votou a favor dela "porque ela declara claramente os princípios básicos que devem ser mantidos e que este Conselho é obrigado a reforçar e defender.

Na semana passada, a Rússia propôs outra resolução pedindo um cessar-fogo humanitário em Gaza, que também não foi aprovada.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.


(1º§) Over the summer a video went viral on TikTok. It was captioned "using this trend to get a new LinkedIn headshot". In the short clip, a young woman shows both how she looks in real life, and the professional-looking headshot photos that she created using an AI-powered app called Remini. The video has now been watched 52.3 million times, and a host of similar ones from other TikTokers have also been extensively viewed. Remini, and competitors such as Try It On AI and AI Suit Up, use AI-based software to create slick profile photos that aim to look as if they were taken by an expert photographer. With Remini you are asked to upload eight to 10 selfies, preferably taken from different angles, and all in good lighting. The AI uses those pictures to learn about the way you look.


(2º§) Then just a few minutes later it will start creating artificial photos of you looking very smart and even glamorous, with your hair in different styles or positions, and you wearing different clothes while sitting in perfect lighting. It also gives you faultless skin, and improves your make-up. Plus, you get different backdrops. And some users find that it makes them look thinner.


(3º§) The results are somewhat in the eye of the beholder - some say they are realistic, while others find that the images look artificial. But while previous online image manipulation trends, such as drastically changing your hair or eye colour, have been about having fun on social media, this one is very much focused on LinkedIn and other job hunting websites.


(4º§) For some the attraction of the AI services is that they are cheap. Divya Shishodia, 24, a digital marketer, from Australia, says that while AI headshots "are obviously generated, some people might not have the budget to go and get a professional headshot taken". While going to a professional photographer can cost more than £100, Remini and the other providers will generally give you free trials lasting a few days. "I'm not saying they're the most realistic, but for the amount of time and effort you have to put in... the output is worth it," says Ms Shishodia. She adds that, by contrast, if you try to take a decent profile photo yourself it can be very difficult. "You need angles, lighting, you are trying to avoid shadows... only actual photographers can do it." 


(5º§) For Michelle Genobisa, 26, from Aalborg, Denmark, it is the low to no cost of the AI generated profile photos that she is on board with. "I quite often change my looks, like my hair colour... so it was an easy way to collect some pictures with the effect of a professional photoshoot," she says. "To get that kind of photo taken, professionally, it's very expensive."


(6º§) Others are less impressed by the technology, such as Molly McCrann, a 25-year-old actor from Australia. "I just think it looks so fake, you can tell that it looks heavily edited, or it looks like AI," she says. "When I posted mine it made me look so skinny, and I don't look McCrann adds that she thinks it is probably better to show prospective employers what you actually look like.


(7º§) However, she is also prepared to see the other side of the argument. "Someone wrote a comment that I actually agree with - if this company is going to base off looks, I want to get in the room. And if this is going to get me in the room, then I am going to use AI headshots to get the interview." But what about the potential impact that AI-improved images can have on our self-esteem? Consumer psychologist Dr Paul Marsden says there are two sides to the issue. "On one hand it could allow us to put our best self forward, and the image of ourselves that we want to project to the world, and in turn motivate us to be that way inclined in real life," he tells the BBC. "The psychology of first impressions is how we make snap decisions based on initial impressions, and by using AI people can put themselves in the running to potentially be considered for an opportunity. On the other hand it could affect people's self-worth and beliefs that they themselves are not good enough comparatively to their AI generation resulting in low confidence.


(8º§) Do recruiters care? Tristan Barthel from London-based Tate Recruitment has seen a big rise in the number of people using AI to improve their photos. He says that it makes no difference in how he deals with a person's application. "I can see if a picture has been AI generated, and it wouldn't affect my decision, for me it's about the qualifications."

(2º§) Then just a few minutes later it will start creating artificial photos of you looking very smart and even glamorous, with your hair in different styles or positions, and you wearing different clothes while sitting in perfect lighting. It also gives you faultless skin, and improves your make-up. Plus, you get different backdrops. And some users find that it makes them look thinner.


(3º§) The results are somewhat in the eye of the beholder - some say they are realistic, while others find that the images look artificial. But while previous online image manipulation trends, such as drastically changing your hair or eye colour, have been about having fun on social media, this one is very much focused on LinkedIn and other job hunting websites.


(4º§) For some the attraction of the AI services is that they are cheap. Divya Shishodia, 24, a digital marketer, from Australia, says that while AI headshots "are obviously generated, some people might not have the budget to go and get a professional headshot taken". While going to a professional photographer can cost more than £100, Remini and the other providers will generally give you free trials lasting a few days. "I'm not saying they're the most realistic, but for the amount of time and effort you have to put in... the output is worth it," says Ms Shishodia. She adds that, by contrast, if you try to take a decent profile photo yourself it can be very difficult. "You need angles, lighting, you are trying to avoid shadows... only actual photographers can do it." 


(5º§) For Michelle Genobisa, 26, from Aalborg, Denmark, it is the low to no cost of the AI generated profile photos that she is on board with. "I quite often change my looks, like my hair colour... so it was an easy way to collect some pictures with the effect of a professional photoshoot," she says. "To get that kind of photo taken, professionally, it's very expensive."


(6º§) Others are less impressed by the technology, such as Molly McCrann, a 25-year-old actor from Australia. "I just think it looks so fake, you can tell that it looks heavily edited, or it looks like AI," she says. "When I posted mine it made me look so skinny, and I don't look McCrann adds that she thinks it is probably better to show prospective employers what you actually look like.


(7º§) However, she is also prepared to see the other side of the argument. "Someone wrote a comment that I actually agree with - if this company is going to base off looks, I want to get in the room. And if this is going to get me in the room, then I am going to use AI headshots to get the interview." But what about the potential impact that AI-improved images can have on our self-esteem? Consumer psychologist Dr Paul Marsden says there are two sides to the issue. "On one hand it could allow us to put our best self forward, and the image of ourselves that we want to project to the world, and in turn motivate us to be that way inclined in real life," he tells the BBC. "The psychology of first impressions is how we make snap decisions based on initial impressions, and by using AI people can put themselves in the running to potentially be considered for an opportunity. On the other hand it could affect people's self-worth and beliefs that they themselves are not good enough comparatively to their AI generation resulting in low confidence.


(8º§) Do recruiters care? Tristan Barthel from London-based Tate Recruitment has seen a big rise in the number of people using AI to improve their photos. He says that it makes no difference in how he deals with a person's application. "I can see if a picture has been AI generated, and it wouldn't affect my decision, for me it's about the qualifications."

(1º§) Over the summer a video went viral on TikTok. It was captioned "using this trend to get a new LinkedIn headshot". In the short clip, a young woman shows both how she looks in real life, and the professional-looking headshot photos that she created using an AI-powered app called Remini. The video has now been watched 52.3 million times, and a host of similar ones from other TikTokers have also been extensively viewed.
