Site 1
I learned in this site that Parental kidnapping is when one of the parents kidnaps the child from the other parent after being divorced. Also, in this case, the father that steals the child from the mom that has the custody of the child does not have any charges pressed against him for the kidnapping. According to the case in Michigan, if you are the true, biological father of the kidnapped child, the kidnapping does not matter. Thus, I can investigate the several laws on parental kidnapping in several countries or areas. Furthermore, explaining the different cases that are charged or uncharged or even dismissed. This would be an interesting topic for me to do my speech on, because the extraordinary circumstances that come in this topic, not everyone would probably know.
Site 2
This site explains the terms used in the court of law to distinguish a victim from the kidnapper, and several other terms I may use within my speech. These terms, such as custody determination or modification, you may have heard of. However, these words are used in the law that tells whether the parental kidnapping is or is not appropriate to bring to the court of justice. Also, the determination of which side the child goes to is according to the law, not what the parents or the child thinks. There may be some times where it is hard to decide, then the judge considers the thoughts of the parents and the child. Lastly this website teaches you these things, because it is part of a parental kidnapping prevention act.
Site 3
Site 3 taught me that in the United Kingdom, there is an office that helps or deals with parental kidnapping. They are afraid if the child in kidnapped and taken overseas, they cannot help, so they have provided phone numbers for people whom has their child kidnapped. This states that parental kidnapping often takes place, without help the parent with custody of the child may not see their child again. The site also teaches us that there are three broader categories in which the abductions are classified. They are: Abduction, when the child is taken overseas; wrongful retention, where the child is kept in another country waiting to be sent overseas; and lastly, threat of abduction, which is when it is risky that the child is already overseas. This site tells us that in the UK there are agencies that help located kidnapped children by their parent, and it tells us that it is illegal in the UK to kidnap your own child if you do not have his or her custody
