PARENT KIDNAPPING Where is Justice for my children who were Parent Kidnapped ? “ If one parent removes the child to a second or unknown location, in order to deny visitation of the other parent, even without a standing custody decision, it is considered parental kidnapping. Recent statistics released by the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that there were more than 350,000 parental abductions within a period of one year.“Parental Kidnapping Parental kidnapping is when one parent takes the children and refuses to return them. ” “ Revenge Against The Other Parent Often times, one parent may kidnap the child as revenge against the other parent. This usually has nothing to do with what is best for the children and is done by an angry parent looking to get even. A jealous parent may use this tactic to sabotage the child’s relationship with the other parent. An abducting parent views the child’s needs as secondary to the parental agenda which is to provoke, agitate, control, attack or psychologically torture the other parent. Many children are told that the other parent is dead or no longer loves them. While they are taken away and hidden from family and friends, abducted children may have their names and appearances altered and may be told not to reveal their true identities or circumstances. These children suffer great emotional harm and may experience a variety of emotions including; depression, anxiety, fear of abandonment, anger, loneliness, excessive fearfulness, and loss of trust and stability. Because of the harmful effects on children, parental kidnapping has been characterized as a form of child abuse.“ “ https://www.lawfirms.com/resources/child-custody/types-of-child-custody/emergency-custody.htm#kidnapping
