Every year, situations of international parental kidnapping are reported in the World.

It’s common for the removal of a child to occur during a heated or emotional marital dispute, in the early stages of separation or divorce, or in the waiting period for a court custody order or agreement. 

Child victims of international parental kidnapping are often taken from a familiar environment and suddently isolated from their community, family and friends.
They may miss months or years of schooling.

The tense and unfavorable situation between the parents may be emotionally troubling to a child. Kidnapped children are at high risk for long-term psychological problems including anxiety, eating disorders, nightmares, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and aggressive behavior. As adults, child victims of international parental kidnapping may struggle with identity, relationship, and family issues.
