Nobody will give me any relief just knowing my kid is safe. I think hes missing and if hes with his father hes being abused and the law isnt helping me find information. My son doesnt deserve this treatment!
I am the father of an abducted son and it is a shame how our judicial system lacks knowledge and protection against the crime of parental child abduction and the tremendous emotional trauma and its short and long term effects. Please help the innocent and helpless.
My two granddaughters were kidnapped by their non custodial mother and her parents and family when they were only 22 months and 4 months old. They were taken to Portugal for four months before their mother and her dad tried to sneak back to the US.

I am the Mother of children who were parentally abducted by their Father and his parents. I found them after 12 years. Nothing is resolved. It has left permanent damage to our relationships and our lives.
