Family Abduction Unit

The Family Abduction Unit is a specialized team, often within law enforcement agencies, that focuses on cases where a child has been unlawfully taken or retained by a family member. This can involve situations such as custody disputes or parental kidnapping. The unit works to locate the child, ensure their safety, and return them to their legal guardian. They collaborate with various entities, including social services and legal authorities, to address the complexities of family abduction cases and promote the child’s well-being while following legal procedures.
