Has anyone had their child kidnapped?

A lawyer cannot physically keep children anywhere.  If you had a custody agreement that required the father to stay in the state, then you should contact the local Sheriff's Office and they will act accordingly.  \n\nDid the father take the child out of state to live or visit?  If to live, again, contact your sheriff.  He will have much more power to have the father bring the children back.  All the attorney could do is go to court and have the court tell the sheriff to find him.  This way, you cut out a step and get your children back quicker.  Good luck.

Contact the US State Department and talk with someone about the kidnapping of your baby.  They will work with the other countries' ambassador to work on the location of your child.

When I was Just barely even an aQuaintance with my now wife.\n She thought it was funny to leave a Note on the table saying she was kidnaped and would hope to get out of it.\n She even described the vehicle that took her away. Even that was false. I had Several hours of wonder.

I work with troubled tens and I know of few police officers that will put the fear of God in a teen. They just aren't allowed to do that. Unfortunately, they are usually too nice to the kids. \nMake sure the next time your child steals that the person presses charges. That's important. If it happens again after that your child will be taken to a juvenile detention center...........take a deep breath............it's ok. At that time he/she will be taken into a room, searched, shown a movie of what will happen in the facility, and then...................put in a small room.( a few hours) Then you go and pick up the child. Scares them a lot and they don't usually stray again. Call your local juvenile detention center and ask them about it . Tell them your problem, that your child is a good kid, just making bad decisions at the time. They will direct you as to what to do.

Yes, several times.  Once in particular comes to mind vividly.  I was walking down the corridor in the hospital where I work & I saw this young woman sitting on the cold concrete floor & crying.  \n\nShe wasn't outside a patient room but an administrative office so I wasn't sure what to make of the situation.  In any case, I stopped what I was doing & knelt down next to her.  She flung herself into my arms and just cried harder & so I let her & tried to offer comfort.\n\nCome to find out that she'd just lost her mother upstairs & I've never been more glad, or grateful, to have halted myself and try to help.

No - but an ex of mine did!   He was going to Bristol and ended up in Birmingham! \n\nHe woke up to find his dad knocking on the train window as the train was pulling out of Bristol.   So, to be cool, he leapt to his feet, screamed 'DAAAAAD' at the top of his voice, then screamed to stop the train while trying to grab his bags.   He then went back to his seat, trying to look noncholant - not easy for him as he was 6'6" tall!\n\nWe got a phone call at about midnight saying he was stranded at New Street Station and could he possibly sleep at our house!\n\nDespite the fact that he was an ex (and I had not got over him) I agreed and my father went and picked him up!\n\nMy funny on a bus was going to an outdoor pop festival by bus cos there was a train strike.   We had been up very early to sort everything out.   I got on the bus and promptly went to sleep.   (we were in a double decker, at the front upstairs).   I woke up and asked the classic question: "are we nearly there yet?".   I had only been asleep for 20 minutes and we had not even reached the motorway!\n\nHope these stories help!

if the mother has custody and the father doesn't and he takes off with her then it is kidnapping. and i don't know what city you live in but you need to get more than just the police involved then, maybe the sheriffs department, state police or FBI, don't take what they say for gospel. kidnapping is still just that kidnapping. felony by the way.it doesn't matter if the baby has the same last name or different either.take his butt to court and have a court order removing all of his rights. sounds like he is a loser anyways.

There are not any recent or new changes to the laws regarding kidnapping. Not on Federal or State levels. The existing laws seem to work well enough if a person is ever brought to trial and convicted by a Judge or Jury which seldom happens. That's the criminal justice system for you. It is designed for the criminal and rarely delivers justice.

I have several stories to tell you that you may find interesting.\n\nI am a woman.  Once I was with my 2 year old son at the car wash and saw a man trying to drag a woman out of a car by her legs. She was screaming and holding on and yelling for help. He was hitting and punching her hard. He saw me looking and gave me a look that struck fear in my heart.\n\nI had to worry about my own safety and my child's, but I certainly am not going to do nothing about a situation like that. He was a big muscular guy.\n\nI knew there was a police station less than a mile away. I nonchalantly drove off, and then speeded like crazy to the cops and told them the situation.  They immediately went there.  I drove by but was afraid to stop and see what they did as he may have remembered me as he was looking at me and got my license and harmed me, so I drove on and left it in the police's hand. But the police did get there in time to stop him.\n\nI often report things I can't do myself like if a big piece of furniture is in a freeway lane that may cause an accident or a car wreck even if I am in a hurry.  I have no cell phone so I get off the next exit and look for a pay phone. \n\n I have also stopped to help with car accidents once seeing a car 1/4th mile off the road in the dark that went into a park and hit a tree. It was upside done and I barely caught it out of the side of my eyes. Made my brother turn the car around. The young 16 year old driver was in the car upside down and couldn't get out.  I yelled to my brother to call an ambulance..got down on my knees in the rainy, muddy ground and caressed his face and forehead and head like a mom would (he was panicked and scared), comforted him, calmed him, checked on his condition, asked him if he would like me to pray for him (he said yes) so  prayed aloud with him.  He was worried about what his mom would say about the car. I tried to let him know she would be more concerned about him, called her and calmed her down when a man came to the scene who prayed with us and I made sure she knew he was felt OK (not going to die etc) asked her to drive safely (as my child when he was 13 was hit by a car and the person calling me did not tell me he was alive (he had a broken femur and his leg was over his head in a odd position and he thought it was cut off) and until I started panicking, she finally told me he was OK so I know the panic first hand. I waited a long time till ambulance came and left and followed up at the hospital. \n\nAnother time I did the same with a man and got a blanket from my car and held it under his head, he was bleeding profusely from the head and I knelt on the ground at the freeway exit and also prayed with him and comforted him. \n\n I once came from a CPR class to find pandemonium when a car several in front of me on the freeway wrecked, he was pinned to the steering wheel and the car caught fire (people who stopped top help did get a fire extinguish and get the fire out but he was pinned by the steering wheel and the door would not open and his chest was crushing his airway and he, sadly, died.\n\nBut I decided to go to the funeral of a stranger (which was kind of scary)to let him family know more details as to how many people tried to save him desperately and how he appeared to be calm and not screaming, peaceful, etc in death as I knew they would be hungry for details as they would be told little. I was careful to be sensitive and kind and the people all told me how grateful they were I let them know and that I came. \n\n I also when a lovely family two doors down died in a house fire that threatened -due to wind -to consume my double from their double.  We didn't know they were in there for several hours while fireman battled to get fire out. A couple and their two twin boys age about 3 or 4all died. After fireman left (lived in kind of bad neighborhood), several people from a few nearby houses actually went into the house(side basement door was open

The parents were reported to child protective services, but there is no update to what happened. The father agreed to not allow the mother to be unsupervised with the kids at anytime. I hope, for the children's sake, that this family can get help.
