Click here to see the poster of Vivian and her abductor This is the basically how the Law will work: A) Thirty days after the child (ren) is kidnapped the left behind parent can by way of a court order turn over TEMPORARY custody of the missing child (ren) to the local State Attorney B) The State Attorney then has the Legal obligation to safely and quickly return the child (ren) to the home county where the child (ren) resided C) Since the left behind parent usually does not have the knowledge or funds to find the child (ren), the State Attorney has both, and the legal experience to bring the child (ren) home. They basically work with or bypass the State Department except for filing papers with them as required by law! The State Attorney deals with the State and Justice Departments, not the parent D) The State reimburses the Local State Attorney's office for expenses such as travel, outside legal counsel, and private investigators E) Once the child (ren) is brought back the home county, custody is immediately turned over to the left behind parent because of the previously signed court order. We are not saying that this will work in every case, but at least with the laws in California they are trying to bring home the missing children, and it is working there.

California is one and has even had a nine-percent decrease in parental kidnappings in the past two years since they made the law even better. Here are some of the sites of the various counties showing that the State Attorney really looks for and brings home the missing children! Sorry here are too many to list them all The American Bar Association endorses the California Law: "Title II of the Act establishes an important role for prosecutors and law enforcement in the civil aspects of child custody and parental abduction disputes. Section 1 is modeled upon existing California law."1 1 The Role of Prosecutors in the Civil Enforcement on Custody Decrees: The California Model, by Janet Kosid Uthe, in Obstacles to the Recovery and Return of Parentally Abducted Children Linda K.
