Eighteen children kidnapped successfully or abortively by a parent were psychiatrically evaluated; 16 were found to have one or more of five functional changes: (1) aftereffects of severe fright or psychic trauma, (2) effects of mental indoctrination, (3) grief or rage about parental abandonment, (4) rejection of the offending parent, and (5) exaggerated identification with a parent or wish fulfillment about a parent. There are serious problems at the law-psychiatry interface regarding stolen children. Both fields must direct their efforts to the prevention of these family tragedies. Psychiatric evaluation is indicated for every child who returns from a child-stealing experience. Pediatricians and child psychiatrists may help the courts to understand the child's point of view by testifying regarding medical findings as well as by interpreting the child's testimony and behavior to the court.
对18名被父母成功或未遂绑架的儿童进行了精神评估；发现其中16名儿童有以下五种功能变化中的一种或多种：（1）严重惊吓或精神创伤的后遗症，（2）精神灌输的影响，（3）对父母遗弃的悲伤或愤怒，（4）对冒犯父母的排斥，以及（5）对父母的过度认同或对父母的愿望实现。在法律与精神病学的交叉领域，关于被偷孩子存在严重问题。两个领域都必须致力于预防这些家庭悲剧。对于每一个经历过偷孩子事件后归来的儿童，都应进行精神评估。儿科医生和儿童精神科医生可以通过就医学发现作证，以及向法庭解释儿童的证词和行为，来帮助法庭理解儿童的观点。
