Parental kidnapping has become a serious concern in the United States. A national incidence study showed that an unprecedented number of parents had taken action to deprive the other parent of contact with the couple's child. In almost half of these cases, the intent of the abducting parent was to alter permanently the custodial access by concealing the child or taking the child out of the state or country. This article reviews the history of civil and criminal legislation purporting to respond to this problem. It also presents findings from a series of research studies aimed at identifying potential custody violators early on along with preventative interventions.
父母绑架在美国已成为一个严重问题。一项全国发病率研究表明，采取行动剥夺另一方与子女联系的父母数量达到了前所未有的程度。在几乎一半的此类案件中，实施绑架的父母意图是通过藏匿孩子或将孩子带离本州或本国，永久性地改变监护权安排。本文回顾了旨在应对这一问题的民事和刑事立法历史。它还介绍了一系列研究的结果，这些研究旨在尽早识别潜在的监护权侵犯者并提出预防干预措施。
