What can I do to help the return of my child in case he is ever abducted?
There are several things that you can do. Certainly you want to keep a current picture on hand, and you also want to have that identifying and privacy information written down somewhere so that if there is an event, you will be able to hand that information over to the first law enforcement officers so that they can jump start the investigation. You also want to get any kind of information you can on that individual. Who is his family or her family, where do they live, any kind of credit card information, any kind of cell card information, or cell phone information, any kind of vehicle registration information. And the more information you have on a non custodial parent, certainly the better prepared you will be, in case that individual tries to take the child away; because the worst thing that can happen is that they are successful in stealing that child, and really putting distance between you and them, because then it becomes really problematic. Or in the worst case scenario, if they were to go overseas with that child, because then it becomes virtually impossible to recover the child. The government won't intervene on your behalf, because they will never, ever, put, jeopardize foreign affairs over the safety and welfare of one citizen. And you're then subject to the rules of whatever country that person goes into. There's not an international treaty or an international court case that's going to be worth a hill of beans in that kind of a situation.
