Abstract:
This guide covers civil and criminal remedies in parental kidnapping cases.
It navigates parents and attorneys through the criminal- and civil-justice systems’
responses to parental kidnapping. It describes actions parents can take and laws
that may be helpful when their children are the victims of family abduction. It
also explains how to prevent abductions. Parents should take this book with them when they meet with their
attorneys, law enforcement, prosecutors, and family-court personnel, many of
whom may be handling a family-abduction case for the first time.
