Abstract
Description
Used data from a national survey, to examine factors associated with 2 specific outcomes of family abduction events: duration of the episode and the likelihood of emotional trauma to children involved. A total of 142 children were involved. Duration appears to be influenced by indicators of preparedness, planning and intent, and with difficulty in physically locating the child. Emotional harm was influenced by factors associated with child awareness, disruption in the child's routine, and levels of animosity between parents.
