Abstract:
The article explores the legal phenomenon of “parental kidnapping”. It is noted that Ukrainian legislation lacks a definition of this legal phenomenon. The author suggests understanding parental kidnapping as the action of one of the parents regarding the unauthorized change of the child’s place of residence without the consent of the other parent with whom, according to the law or a court decision, the child resides. This includes abduction, leading to a violation of the child’s rights and causing material or non-material harm. Statistical data from the Secretariat of the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for 2022–2023 regarding the number of parental requests for the unauthorized change of the child’s place of residence by one of the parents is provided. The legislative regulation of this legal phenomenon and the peculiarities of holding parents accountable for such abuse of parental rights in Ukraine are analyzed. Ukrainian legal practitioners categorize the actions falling under the concept of “parental kidnapping” as domestic violence against the child in the form of psychological violence, especially towards the other parent with whom the child lived before the abduction. In cases where there are signs of physical injuries on the child, physical violence against the abducted child is also considered. The legal positions of Ukrainian courts in cases of parental kidnapping are discussed. Generally, since there is no legal provision specifying responsibility for such actions, in cases where the evidence presented by the plaintiff parent proves that the other parent changed the child’s place of residence without authorization, the court grants the plaintiff parent’s claim for the return of the child. Proposals are formulated for measures that need to be implemented to prevent, counteract, and legally hold accountable for parental kidnapping.

Abstract:
This article addresses the phenomenon of parental kidnapping and the legislative response to it. It includes a discussion of the federal civil response—more particularly, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act of 1980, and the 1980 Hague Convention of the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and its implementing federal legislation. A discussion of the criminal response includes a summary of The Missing Children Act of 1982, The Missing Children's Assistance Act of 1984, The National Child Search Assistance Act of 1990, state criminal laws, and the topic of clearinghouses. There is also an analysis of civil case law involving suits arising out of loss of custody, custodial interference and related torts. The article concludes with a treatment of ways to prevent parental kidnapping, as well as recommendations regarding future legislation and judicial efforts.

Abstract:
[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian] This paper concerns the victims of parental abductions in Poland. The aim of the article is to present the victims of parental abductions in the light of the Polish criminal case law. The study has an empirical character because it presents the results of research carried out using a criminal case law analysis. The study included 59 criminal cases concerning the parental kidnapping of a child. The research revealed that the Polish law treats the person from whom the child was kidnapped as a victim of parental kidnapping. Interestingly, the child is not considered a victim. Based on the research, a conclusion was formulated that parental abductions are not only the result of disputes between the parents of a child, but that children can also be abducted from the care of other people, for example, the directors of orphanages or grandparents who look after the children. This article argues that parental abductions are not only a problem for families but also for institutions professionally involved in childcare.

Abstract:
This study is intended to address the problem of international parental child abduction from Islamic and international perspectives.  During a decade of working as a judge in the state of Qatar a number of cross-border child abduction cases occurred involving GCC, Arab and Western parents.  In none of these cases has the Hague Convention on The Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (1980) been consulted or mentioned.  There is no evidence that the attention of Qatari judges has ever been drawn to the existence of this important international treaty. However, for the reasons given throughout this study, it will be argued that The Hague Convention is too important to be totally ignored by Muslim countries, while these countries will probably start to face an increasing number of cross-border child abduction cases.  The benefits of acceding to the Convention are made clear by considering a diversity of international cases where the solutions of the Convention best serve the welfare of the abducted children by procedurally ordering their prompt return to their habitual residence, thus putting to an end an arbitrary act of abduction unjustifiably carried out by one of the carers.  It is hoped that in the end this research will bring Islamic and Convention understandings closer to each other with regard to the problem of international parental child abduction.

Abstract:
"Internal globalization" has become a common phenomenon which, among other things, has increased the number of mixed-national couples due to the greater mobility of people and the globalization of trade and commerce. Unanticipated difficulties can follow from the breakdown of such relationships for both children and parents if the custodial parent leaves the family's former habitual residence with the child. This is especially true for the left-behind parent.
The starting point for this study was the discussion among experts as to whether an Additional Protocol to the 1980 Child Abduction Convention might resolve the inherent weak protection of access rights. To answer this question concerning the necessity of such an Additional Protocol, this thesis provides an overview of the relevant existing and future international legal frameworks that address child protection and parental responsibilities and shows the evolution in child law from a formerly neglected issue to a high-profile topic.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka några föräldrars upplevelser kring bortförandet av deras barn och hur stöd och hjälp från samhället upplevs. Tidigare forskning pekar på att kvarlämnade föräldrar drabbas svårt av ett bortförande då det orsakar emotionell stress. En del av forskningen som inriktar sig på riskfaktorer och kännetecken för bortföranden visar att bortföranden ofta äger rum i samband med vårdnadstvister och föregås av hot. Kvarlämnade föräldrar drabbas också ekonomiskt av ett bortförande. Forskning tyder också på att det finns brister i stöd och hjälp för drabbade föräldrar. Denna forskning utgår från en internationell kontext och myndigheter i engelskspråkiga länder. Då antalet bortföranden fortsätter att öka i Sverige finns anledning att uppmärksamma och studera frågan då det finns väldigt lite svensk forskning om bortförande av barn. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av intervjuer med fem föräldrar som drabbats av ett bortförande, där den andra föräldern bortfört barnet till utlandet. Intervjumaterialet har bearbetats genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Aaron Antonovskys teori KASAM – Känsla av sammanhang, utgör studiens teoretiska referensram.Studiens resultat visade att föräldrarna upplevde bortförandet som en kris. Majoriteten av föräldrarna hade upplevt varningssignaler med bland annat hot från den bortförande föräldern innan bortförandet. Föräldrarna upplevde även skuldkänslor relaterat till detta. De reagerade på olika sätt på bortförandet. Reaktionerna innebar bland annat sömnsvårigheter, oro, chock, panik, ångest, sorg och saknad. Vidare visar resultatet att föräldrarna upplevde att svenska myndigheter inte gjorde tillräckligt för att hjälpa dem. Bortförandet innebar stora ekonomiska kostnader de själva fick betala och de efterfrågade även bättre psykosocialt stöd. Slutsatsen är att föräldrarna upplevde bortförandet som en kris som de kände sig maktlösa i då de upplevde att de inte fick det stöd och den hjälp de behövde från det svenska samhället.
This bachelor thesis aims to investigate a few parents' experiences of the parental abduction of their children and how they experience support and help from society. Previous research indicates that left-behind parents experience emotional stress and that the abduction of their children can be traumatic. Parts of the existing research focouses on risk factors and shows that parental abductions often occur in connection to a child-custody case, and with threats from the other parent. The abductions affect the left-behind parents' economic well-being. Research about parental support and authority responses also indicates that support needs to be extended and improve. This research was conducted in international contexts and related to authorities in the English-speaking world. Because of the increasing cases of parental abduction in Sweden, and that little research has been conducted about the left-behind parents' experinces in Sweden, there is a reason to investigate this in this bachelor thesis. Interviews have been carried out with five parents whose children have been abducted by the other parent to another country. The theoretical framework of the study is Aaron Antonovsky's theory Sense of Coherence (SOC). The analysis suggests that the parents experienced that the abduction of their children was a life crisis. The majority of the parents had seen alarming signs, and gotten threats from the other parent before the abduction. These findings confirmed previous research. The parents experienced feelings of guilt related to the alarming signs. The parents also felt powerless and stated that the Swedish authoritys, and society, did not do enough to help them.

Abstract:
Within the context of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments the recognition and enforcement of foreign custody orders is unique. By reason of the fact that custody orders are always modifiable "in the best interests of the child" they cannot be regarded as final orders and are thus not capable of recognition and enforcement on the same basis as final orders. The failure of courts to afford foreign custody orders recognition and enforcement in the normal course has created the potential for a person deprived of the custody of a child to remove the child from the jurisdiction of a court rendering a custody order to another jurisdiction within which he or she may seek a new, more favourable order. This potential for behaviour in contempt of an existing order has been exploited by numerous parents who feel aggrieved by custody orders. The problem of parental child snatching has escalated to such a degree that the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction was drawn up to introduce uniform measures amongst member states to address this problem. Despite being a meaningful step in the fight against international child abduction the Hague Convention does not fully resolve the problem. For this reason other measures have been suggested to supplement the Convention. The different approaches taken in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America to recognition and enforcement of foreign custody orders and the measures to overcome the problem of international child abduction are examined and a comparative methodology applied to the design of a model approach for South Africa. The object of this model is to permit the South African courts to address the international child abduction problem without falling prey to any of the pitfalls experienced elsewhere in the legal systems examined.

Abstract:
Abstract In the summer of 1873, “a gentleman of high social position” in Williamstown, New York, “the quietest of summer resorts,” hired a “fast livery team” and carried off both his children. He presumably fled with them to Europe since as “a man of means,” he would “spare no money to cover up the trail.” Although the courts had given this man, Mr. Neil, custody of one his daughters in the “decree of separation on the ground of in compatibility of temperament,” the other daughter, whom he also took with him, had been awarded to his wife, who now suffered “fearfully over the theft.”1 Thus, even before the Charley Ross case defined for Americans the horror of stranger kidnapping, other children were being snatched by their own parents in what was all through the late nineteenth century, and ever more frequently in the twentieth, the single most prevalent kind of abduction.

Abstract:
Abstract The expression ‘child abduction’, being a creation of the media, is more at home in a newspaper headline than in a legal text.1 It is sufficiently wide in meaning to suggest a variety of possible acts, all wrongful and almost invariably harmful to the children involved. In the context of international private law, however, the phrase has become synonymous with the unilateral removal or retention of children by parents, guardians or close family members. It bears no relation to third party abductions or what are sometimes referred to as ‘classic kidnappings’. A parental abductor rarely seeks material gain; rather, he or she will aspire to the exercise of sole care and control over a son or daughter in a new jurisdiction.

The final chapter returns to the experience of medical reform in pueblos de indios, where rumors and political rituals mediated enlightened techniques, personnel, and reform programs. Political rituals allowed parents and Indian officials to assess and judge these medical interventions, discern efficacy, and occasionally shape more acceptable campaigns. Rumors of enslavement, forced enlistment, witchcraft, and kidnapping had the effect of threatening flight from villages by parents and others into “regions of refuge,” which compelled negotiation by administrators to avoid aborted campaigns and lost revenue. In these ways laypeople were integral to the domestication and interpretation of Enlightenment treatments.

Longing for Los Angeles, Reatha returns alone and startles her friends and newspapers with an announcement that she was married to an Arizona rancher named Jack Lytelle and widowed soon after. The rest of the chapter focuses upon Reatha’s emerging dancing talent, her escapades in the city’s cabarets, and her father’s appeal to juvenile authorities to rescue her from what he believes to be her imminent ruin. Pronouncing seventeen-year-old Reatha “too beautiful” to remain alone in Los Angeles and threatening her with imprisonment, the chief juvenile officer forces her to return to her parents in El Centro.

With her bigamous marriage to Lawrence Converse making headlines throughout Southern California and beyond, and juvenile authorities scouring Los Angeles for her, Reatha reluctantly returns to her parents. This chapter is a continuation of the intensifying, sensationalized consequences wrought by Reatha’s bigamous marriage to Lawrence. Reatha’s celebrity status—-an outgrowth of her alleged kidnapping and eviction from Los Angeles for being “too beautiful”—-expands as she is ceaselessly hounded by reporters and gives various interviews. Lawrence turns himself in to authorities and a preliminary hearing ensues, further inflaming newspaper headlines. Reatha and Lawrence’s wife, both made to testify against Lawrence, appear in court. A shocking series of events brings the case to an abrupt conclusion and Reatha, deemed notorious by the Los Angeles film studios, is barred from working as an actress in their films.

Abstract:
The story of Operation Pedro Pan (or Operation Peter Pan) and the Cuban Children’s Program remains a highly contested one, still regarded in Miami as an urgent humanitarian “rescue” mission while in Havana it is viewed as a scheme that hoodwinked parents into sending their offspring out of the country as unaccompanied minors and sometimes even described as a mass kidnapping. This book moves beyond Cold War tropes about threats to the Cuban family by the revolutionary government and uses the episode to examine in detail the social reforms that unfolded in the wake of the 1959 Cuban Revolution and how these changes encouraged a new revolutionary youth culture of political activism and challenged the United States’ historical, political, and economic control and cultural influence in Cuba. By focusing on the generation of young Cubans who came to maturity in the early 1960s and tracking the parallel trajectories of the Pedro Pan children and their siblings, friends, and classmates who stayed on the island (100,000 of whom participated in the 1961 national literacy campaign), this book for the first time takes a broader view and presents a more nuanced explanation of this history.

Abstract:
Abstract Building on Hobbes and the analogy that he makes between the power of parents, and notably the father over the lives of his children and the power of the state over the lives of its citizens, this chapter argues that paying with lives is the essential feature of a patriarchal political order. In a patriarchal setting, the state maintains its stronghold over the lives of its citizens. It is hard for the state to accept that its opponents decide over the lives of its own people. Therefore, this political vision encourages a non-compromising policy with hostage takers. Refusing to save one’s own citizens, if such is too detrimental for the interest of the state, also sends a ‘costly signal’; it is also a display of power that is presumed to have a powerful deterrent effect. Based on these premises, the chapter develops a political theory of the hostage that applies beyond the realm of kidnapping, for example in nuclear politics. The patriarchal state is also challenged by other actors that weigh lives according to their own measurement and standards. However, in the context of liberal democracies especially, the patriarchal order is a fragile one. It is difficult for a state to be patriarchal as it exposes itself to moral critique for its lack of empathy in the face of human suffering. The state has to balance patriarchalism with another mode of pricing lives, i.e. philanthropism, that is discussed in the following chapter.
