non-custodial kidnapping or child abduction?!

I think you need to file the missing persons report immediately. You need to go to family services and apply for welfare, which should shake them up to find him. You need to go back to the police a speak to someone higher up to help you get your child.

Hi moneymotivated, Welcome to mylot! Ok to answer your question...Did you ever get legal and/or physical custody of your child? It sounds as if this has already gone thru the court system. If that is so then you must have some paperwork that tells you the courts decision on matters of child support and custody. Was the visitation agreement clear? There are usually set dates and times in which he can see the child and that usually would include what time the child is to be returned. I would go back to the police and bring the paperwork with you and I would not leave until they go after this jerk and bring your son back to you. I would then petition the court to have limited and supervised visits only. Also go for legal custody as well as the physical and that way he will have no say in major decisions in your sons life now or in the future. He has shown that he does not make good choices regarding your son by pulling this. From the sounds of it, he is in contempt of court. Oh and make sure that you ask that he pay all court costs!

This is awful and I can feel the pain when I read this. You must be out of your mind with worrry. I think you should go to the higher up police authority and get them to file a kidnapping complaint. Maybe a lawyer can help out with a notice to the police or something. Maybe you have some social groups who can force the police into filing a complaint. I think he wants to keep the son only to spite you and harass you. He will be an awful father to him and neglect the child. You had better move fast. All the best and my prayers are with you and your child. Good luck friend and God bless.

I think you must be a wreck! I don't think it was right at all and they should be treating this as a kidnapping and getting or trying to get in contact with all of his friends, family and neighbors. It's not right he hasn't brought your child back to you as he is in your custody. I'd definitely try to get the ball rolling on this. I wish I could help out more, but all I can say is hang in there...

This is a dreadful situation and I feel so sorry for you. I would go insane if i lost my children, the law unfortuately don't see it as kidnapping but it is. The law needs to be changed in order to protect children.
