Family Abduction

Family abduction occurs when one parent or guardian takes a child away from the other parent or guardian without permission, often violating custody or visitation agreements. It can happen during disputes or emotional conflicts and may involve relocating the child across jurisdictions or even countries. Such actions can disrupt the child's stability and wellbeing and are considered serious legal violations. Authorities typically intervene to locate and safely return the child, with legal processes aimed at resolving custody issues and protecting the child's best interests.
