Amber Alerts for Children “Abducted” by their Fathers

This morning I was awakened by an amber alert and noticed that like many I’ve received before, the child in question that was reported missing is alleged to have been “kidnapped” by the biological father. If a parent doesn’t have custodial rights for whatever reason, is this how they become a perpetrator (in the eyes of the law)?

In cases such as that it’s almost always because the father has a violent and or criminal history. It’s not just that he’s stepped outside the parenting plan

@WhateverWorks But. Stepping outside a parenting plan is illegal. If you have a plan and you fail to abide by it and take the child somewhere you are not supposed to ...that is considered kidnapping.

Honey, Plenty of parents will use their chilren as pawns in abuse. They will take the kids in order to hurt the other parent.

Kids get pulled into a lot of parental bullshit, but generally speaking, when it comes to an actual amber alert, there’s more involved that puts the child in danger@JaggedLittlePill
