INTERNATIONAL PARENTAL CHILD ABDUCTION – ABP World Group – CHILD RECOVERY SERVICES

May 22, 2013

Tragically International Child Abduction has reached global epidemic proportions.  According to leading experts the increase in inter-racial marriages and relationships  will, in the future, lead to a significant rise in the number of children born to parents of different nationalities 

“It is a great misconception that a child abducted by a parent is a safe child” – Martin Waage, ABP World Group Ltd.

As is true for all relationships, a statistically significant number of these marriages or partnerships will also end in divorce. All too often, following the breakup of a marriage, one of the parents will abduct a child of that relationship against the wishes of the other parent,  frequently removing them to a country where the child has probably never lived. This is called “International Parental Child Abduction”.

Although there are various civil remedies available to parents of abducted children, the challenges they face are enormous, including first and foremost, locating  the child.

Unfortunately for the majority of targeted parents, the financial burden involved in recovery and litigation falls upon their shoulders. With tens of thousands of children abducted by parents each year, the reality is that too many of these children never come home.  ABP World Group is dedicated to assisting those parents who need help in locating, rescuing, and returning  their abducted child home safely.

Statement from a US client:

“After all my years of experience as Worldwide Medical Director for the worlds largest medical assistance company, I found only ABP World capable of providing the unique service of non-violent recovery of a abducted child. It is very difficult to find a company like ABP World that can provide the experience, honesty, integrity, and assets to actually recover an abducted child safely and at a reasonable cost. I hold ABP World in highest regard and recommend them whole heartedly. The world is simply a better place because of the work they do.”

Our intelligence and investigative capabilities combined with our ability to dispatch personnel to most locations in the world offer a safe and strategic solution to protecting what is most important to you, your child.

Unfortunately in this present climate parental kidnapping occurs all too frequently and we are here to help you through this extremely traumatic period.

We are aware that parental child abduction can be difficult to resolve, but through the use of professional operatives with the skills and expertise necessary to find a resolution. We are here to help you.

ABP World Group’s successful recovery and re-unification strategies rely on the use of all the means available  including, but not limited to:

Electronic Forensic Foot printing Investigations

. Interview/Evaluation

. Surveillance Special Ops

. Non-Combatant Evacuation Ops

. Domestic Support

. International Operations

. Maritime/Land/Air transport

Danish Client:
“I have received assistance from ABP World Group in bringing my kidnapped child back home. The situation demanded alternative solutions in order to bring my child safely home, as the country where my child was kidnapped to, did not actively participate in helping solving the kidnapping. In this regard ABP World Group proved to be invaluable help. They provided the necessary experience in dealing with these matters and throughout the planning and execution always kept calm and seemed prepared for everything. It was my impression that the safety of my child and myself was always the top priority, and they always made sure to take any necessary precautions through detailed planning rather than pursuing a quick solution.

I can definitively recommend getting assistance from ABP World Group to anyone else in the same situation”

Parental Child Abduction and Parental alienation Syndrome PAS

February 28, 2013

Eight Manifestations of Parental Alienation Syndrome

1. A Campaign of Denigration
Alienated children are consumed with hatred of the targeted parent. They deny any positive past experiences and reject all contact and communication. Parents who were once loved and valued seemingly overnight become hated and feared.

2. Weak, Frivolous, and Absurd Rationalizations
When alienated children are questioned about the reasons for their intense hostility toward the targeted parent, the explanations offered are not of the magnitude that typically would lead a child to reject a parent. These children may complain about the parent’s eating habits, food preparation, or appearance. They may also make wild accusations that could not possibly be true.

3. Lack of Ambivalence About the Alienating Parent
Alienated children exhibit a lack of ambivalence about the alienating parent, demonstrating an automatic, reflexive, idealized support. That parent is perceived as perfect, while the other is perceived as wholly flawed. If an alienated child is asked to identify just one negative aspect of the alienating parent, he or she will probably draw a complete blank. This presentation is in contrast to the fact that most children have mixed feelings about even the best of parents and can usually talk about each parent as having both good and bad qualities.

4. The “Independent Thinker” Phenomenon
Even though alienated children appear to be unduly influenced by the alienating parent, they will adamantly insist that the decision to reject the targeted parent is theirs alone. They deny that their feelings about the targeted parent are in any way influenced by the alienating parent and often invoke the concept of free will to describe their decision.

5. Absence of Guilt About the Treatment of the Targeted Parent 
Alienated children typically appear rude, ungrateful, spiteful, and cold toward the targeted parent, and they appear to be impervious to feelings of guilt about their harsh treatment. Gratitude for gifts, favors, or child support provided by the targeted parent is nonexistent. Children with parental alienation syndrome will try to get whatever they can from that parent, declaring that it is owed to them.

6. Reflexive Support for the Alienating Parent in Parental Conflict 
Intact families, as well as recently separated and long-divorced couples, will have occasion for disagreement and conflict. In all cases, the alienated child will side with the alienating parent, regardless of how absurd or baseless that parent’s position may be. There is no willingness or attempt to be impartial when faced with interparental conflicts. Children with parental alienation syndrome have no interest in hearing the targeted parent’s point of view. Nothing the targeted parent could do or say makes any difference to these children.

7. Presence of Borrowed Scenarios 
Alienated children often make accusations toward the targeted parent that utilize phrases and ideas adopted from the alienating parent. Indications that a scenario is borrowed include the use of words or ideas that the child does not appear to understand, speaking in a scripted or robotic fashion, as well as making accusations that cannot be supported with detail.

8. Rejection of Extended Family
Finally, the hatred of the targeted parent spreads to his or her extended family. Not only is the targeted parent denigrated, despised, and avoided but so are his or her extended family. Formerly beloved grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are suddenly and completely avoided and rejected.

In a recent study (Baker & Darnall, 2007), targeted parents rated their children as experiencing these eight behavioral manifestations in a way that was generally consistent with Gardner’s theory. Parents reported that their children exhibited the eight behaviors with a high degree of frequency. One exception was alienated children being able to maintain a relationship with some members of the targeted parent’s extended family, which occurred in cases where that relative was actually aligned with the alienating parent. This suggests that the context of the contact with the targeted parent’s extended family (that relative’s role in the alienation) needs to be understood prior to concluding whether this component is present in the child.

Study of Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome
Gardner identified parental alienation syndrome only 20 years ago. However, researchers and clinicians have been concerned about these cross-generational alliances for much longer. For example, divorce researchers such as Wallerstein and colleagues (2001) have noted that some children develop unhealthy alliances with one parent while rejecting the other. Family therapists have observed that, when a child is “taller” than a parent (i.e., able to look down on), it is usually because he or she is standing on the shoulders of the other parent (i.e., being supported by).

Although this problem has long been of concern to mental health practitioners, little research has been conducted on the specific problem of children rejecting one parent due to the overt or covert influence of the other. In contrast to the dearth of research, demand for knowledge about parental alienation and parental alienation syndrome is overwhelming. There are several Web sites devoted to this problem, many of which receive tens of thousands of visits each year. The few books on divorce that discuss this problem are best sellers, and there are several Internet chat groups comprised of anxious parents who fear that the other parent of their child is turning their child against them. Saddest of all are the parents who have already lost their child to parental alienation syndrome and want to know whether they will ever get the child back.

This is the question that guided the current study on parental alienation syndrome of adults who as children had been turned against one parent by their other parent (Baker, 2007). In order to participate in the study, the individuals needed to have been alienated from one parent as a child and had to believe that the alienation was at least in part due to the actions and attitudes of the other parent. Forty adults participated in in-depth, semistructured telephone interviews. A content analysis was conducted. Some of the major themes and research findings relevant to the work of social workers are the following:

Findings

Different Familial Contexts
Parental alienation syndrome can occur in intact families, as well as divorced families, and can be fostered by fathers, mothers, and noncustodial and custodial parents. The prototypical case is a bitter ex-wife turning the children against the father in response to postdivorce custody litigation. That is one but not the only pattern. Mental health professionals should be aware that other familial contexts exist within which parental alienation syndrome can occur so as to avoid ruling out parental alienation syndrome as an explanation because the family context does not fit the prototype.

Emotional, Physical, and Sexual Abuse
Many of the interviewees revealed that the alienating parent had emotionally, physically, or sexually abused them. These data should help put to rest the prevailing notion that all children (in their naive wisdom) will ally themselves with the parent better able to attend to their needs. The people interviewed appeared to side with the parent on whom they had become dependent and whose approval they were most afraid of losing, not the parent who was most sensitive or capable.

Apparent Psychopathology
A related finding is that many of the alienating parents appeared to have features of narcissistic and/or have a borderline or antisocial personality disorder, as well as being active alcoholics. Thus, social workers providing individual therapy with a client who may have been alienated from one parent by the other should be aware of the importance of exploring these other abuse and trauma factors in the client’s early history.

Cult Parallels
Cults offer a useful heuristic for understanding parental alienation syndrome. Alienating parents appear to use many emotional manipulation and thought reform strategies that cult leaders use. Awareness of this analogy can help individuals who experienced parental alienation syndrome (and their therapists) understand how they came to ally with a parent who was ultimately abusive and damaging. The analogy is also helpful for understanding the recovery and healing process.

The research and clinical literature on recovery from cults offers useful ideas for therapists working with adult children of parental alienation syndrome. For example, the way in which a person leaves a cult has ramifications for the recovery process. Cult members can walk away from a cult, be cast out of a cult, or be counseled out of a cult. Those who walk away (come to the realization on their own that the cult is not healthy for them) and those who are counseled out (those who are exposed to a deliberate experience designed to instigate the desire to leave) tend to fare better than those who are cast out (those who are rejected from the cult for failing to meet its regulations and strictures) (Langone, 1994).

Regardless of how the cult is abandoned, leaving represents only the beginning of the recovery process. Considerable time and effort is required (usually in therapy) to process the experience and undo the negative messages from the cult that have become incorporated into the self. The same may be true of adult children of parental alienation syndrome.

Different Pathways to Realization
There appear to be many different pathways to the realization that one has been manipulated by a parent to unnecessarily reject the other parent. Eleven catalysts were described by the interview participants. This represents both good and bad news. The good news is that there are many different ways to evolve from alienation to realization. The bad news is that there is no silver bullet or magic wand to spark that process. For some participants, it was a matter of time and gaining life experience. For others, it was the alienating parent turning on them and, for others, it was becoming a parent and being the target of parental alienation from their own children. For most, the process was just that—a process.

There were a few epiphanies, but most experienced something like a slow chipping away of a long-held belief system, a slow awakening to a different truth and a more authentic self. Most gained self-respect and a connection to reality and were grateful to know “the truth.” At the same time, they acknowledged that this truth was hard won and quite painful. Once they were aware of the parental alienation, they had to come to terms with some painful truths, including that the alienating parent did not have their best interest at heart, that as children they had probably behaved very badly toward someone who did not deserve such treatment, and that they missed out on a relationship that may have had real value and benefit to them.

Long-Term Negative Effects
Not surprisingly, the adult children with parental alienation syndrome believed that this experience had negative long-term consequences for them. Many spoke of suffering from depression, turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain, failed relationships and multiple divorces and, most sadly, becoming alienated from their own children later in life. In this way, the intergenerational cycle of parental alienation syndrome was perpetuated.

Wide Range of Alienation Tactics
The adult children with parental alienation syndrome described a range of alienating strategies, including constant badmouthing of the targeted parent, chronic interference with visitation and communication, and emotional manipulation to choose one parent over the other. These same strategies were confirmed in a subsequent study of close to 100 targeted parents (Baker & Darnall, 2006). More than 1,300 specific actions described were independently coded into 66 types, 11 of which were mentioned by at least 20% of the sample. There was considerable but not complete overlap in the strategies identified by the targeted parents with those described by adult children.

Law Firm backs new international child abduction campaign -“Latest child abduction figures come as no surprise.

January 17, 2013

Source:bournemouthchamber.org.uk

A NEW campaign highlighting a big rise in the number of children abducted and taken abroad by an estranged parent has been backed by Chamber members Ellis Jones Solicitors. A total of 512 cases involving 84 different countries were reported to British authorities in 2011/2012, according to data from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). That compares with 272 in 51 countries in 2003/2004, an increase of 88 per cent in eight years.

It is illegal for a parent to take a child overseas without permission from others with parental responsibility. However 24 per cent of Britons are unaware it is a crime, according to separate FCO research. The research revealed that although 74 per cent of people thought fathers were most likely to abduct their children, statistics from the charity Reunite International suggested 70 per cent of their cases concerned mothers taking a child.

The FCO has now launched a national campaign to highlight the issue. Katie Taft, a solicitor with Ellis Jones who specialises in child abduction work, said the national increase in cases was borne out by her own experiences.
The Dorset and New Forest law firm is a member of the International Child Abduction and Contact Unit specialist panel and a recognised expert, regularly representing both mothers and fathers to secure the prompt return of their child or children.

Katie said: “We’ve seen an increased workload over the last few years which is to be expected given the rise in the number of families with parents who originate from different countries. Therefore, the latest FCO figures really come as no surprise. Currently we’re handing a number of cases of this nature across the South of England. “Child abduction causes a huge amount of distress and we welcome the FCO’s decision to launch a national campaign to highlight the issue.

“It’s important that this subject is kept in the public spotlight and that parents think twice before causing significant distress to their children, and other members of the family, by even contemplating abducting a child,” Katie added.

Parents, or those with parental responsibility, who fear their child has been or is at risk of being abducted can contact Katie or Sean McNally on 01202 636223. Alternatively the International Child Abduction and Contact Unit can be reached on 020 7911 7047/7045 from 10am to 4pm.

Arbeidsgruppe skal se på håndtering av barnebortføringssaker

November 7, 2012

Kilde: Justis og Beredskapsdepartementet

Regjeringen har nedsatt en ekstern arbeidsgruppe som skal se på hvordan norske myndigheter håndterer internasjonale barnebortføringssaker. Regelverket skal også gjennomgås. – Det er viktig for regjeringen å ha et godt system for bistand og oppfølgning i internasjonale barnebortføringssaker. Derfor skal en arbeidsgruppe se nærmere på regelverket og norske myndigheters behandling av disse sakene. Målet er å finne løsninger som er til barnets beste, sier justis og beredskapsminister Grete Faremo. Arbeidsgruppen skal ledes av tingrettsdommer Torunn E. Kvisberg. Hun har blant annet skrevet doktorgrad om internasjonal barnebortføring og har bred erfaring på feltet.

Medlemmer i arbeidsgruppen er:

• Tingrettsdommer Torunn E. Kvisberg, Sør-Gudbrandsdalen tingrett (leder)
• Professor, dr. juris Kirsten Sandberg, Universitetet i Oslo
• Forsker Øivin Christiansen, Uni Helse Bergen
• Advokat Halvor Hjelm-Hansen, Advokatfirmaet Erbe & Co, Trondheim
• Politiadvokat Ellen-Sofie Terland, Kripos

Arbeidsgruppen skal legge frem sine forslag innen 31.12.2013.

Arbeidsgruppens mandat.

—————————————————————————————

Dette er et tiltak som hilses varmt velkommen. Vi ser frem til at regjeringen nå finner en måte å redusere antall bortførte barn ifra Norge. Vi håper også at det vil bli iverksatt tiltak for å straffeforfølge barnebortførere, og stoppe utbetalinger av bidrag til disse i en større grad enn det vi ser idag.

Parental Abduction: What You Should Do

Source: Steve Thompson

Every year, police reports are filed because one parent kidnaps their child from the other parent, usually because the abductor cannot get custody.

-If your child is a victim of parental abduction, your options are no doubt limited. Unless you have an idea where your child’s other parent might have run to, you are at the mercy of the police. However, there are a few things that you should definitely take care of as soon as possible.

First, you should know that parental abduction is against the law. If you have been given custody of your child by the courts — or if the child’s other parent has voluntarily relinquished custody — then he or she has no right to take your child without your permission. Usually, parental abductions occur in the middle of a custody dispute when one parent is certain that he or she will lose.

The next thing that you should consider is that it is often difficult to determine whether your child was abducted by his or her other parent or whether your child was the victim of an unrelated kidnapping. Don’t think that you should avoid calling the police because you’re afraid to get your ex-spouse in trouble; the police will consider all possibilities, and you don’t want to make the mistake of failing to report the abduction and then later discover that your child was the victim of a random crime.

You should also know that thousands of children go missing every year, whether from parental abductions, kidnappings, rapes, murders and runaways. The police are in a perpetual state of overload, which means that although your child’s parental abduction is a priority, the police cannot dedicate their days to the search. They have other crimes to investigate. With that said, you might want to consult a private investigator in the case of a parental abduction. He or she will have far more time to devote to the search, and although their powers of investigation are not as thorough as those of the police, P.I.’s are licensed by the state.

As far as you are concerned, your best bet is to start contacting people. Friends, family and acquaintances should all be alerted that a parental abduction has occurred. Contact the family and friends of the other parent to find out if he or she has been in contact with them, and let them know that it is illegal to harbor a fugitive. Get on the phone with the National Center for Mission and Exploited Children (800-843-5678) as well as any local organizations that help parents whose children have been abducted.

One major problem that you should consider is whether or not your child’s abductor may take him or her out of the country. Many perpetrators of parental abduction flee the country to avoid prosecution (and the removal of the child from their custody). Contact your local passport office (or the national office at 202-955-0231) to let them know that your child should not be allowed to get on a plane or be issued a passport. The police can likewise put a red flag on the abductor’s passport to keep him or her in the U.S.

And finally, you might want to resort to your local news media to help generate publicity. The televisions and radios can broadcast news briefs about the parental abduction of your child in the hopes that someone will report a sighting. Many children have been found over the years because the clerk at a drug store or the teller at a bank recognizes the child from his or her picture on the news and calls it in. While you can’t count on this happening, it’s certainly a possibility.

Attorney advise non-custodial parents to request the children’s passports be held by the Court

A TIP FOR PREVENTING PARENTAL ABDUCTION OF A CHILD TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY

CNN posted an article in October of 2009 that raised the question about what a parent can do to prevent child abduction. According to the article, Christopher Savoie, an American father, was granted full custody of his children by a Tennessee Court after learning that they were removed to Japan without his consent by their mother. He went to Japan to retrieve the children and was put in jail for his attempt to abduct his own children.

Japan is not a signator to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

Mr. Savoie was arrested by Japanese police officers called by the children’s mother when he attempted to take the children to the American consulate to obtain their passports to return to the U.S.

In cases involving worries of abduction, I advise non-custodial parents to request the children’s passports be held by the Court. A passport may be issued to a parent with sole custody, and any parent with worry that the other may abduct the child is encouraged to push for a joint legal custody order, to prevent the unconsented-to issuance of a passport. Additionally, when parties settle, I include language indicating that Minnesota shall have sole exclusive jurisdiction over custody and parenting time disputes. However, I also advise my clients that I cannot guarantee a foreign Court will feel bound by that language.

The U.S. State Department’s web site for obtaining a passport for a minor child can be reached at http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/minors/minors_834.html.

The passport application form specifies the document requirements to obtain a passport, which include:

To submit an application for a child under age 16 both parents or the child’s legal guardian(s) must appear and present the following:

• Evidence of the child’s U.S. citizenship,
• Evidence of the child’s relationship to parents/guardian(s), AND
• Parental/guardian identification.

 

IF ONLY ONE PARENT APPEARS YOU MUST ALSO SUBMIT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Second parent’s notarized written statement consenting to passport issuance for the child,
• Primary evidence of sole authority to apply, OR
• A written statement (made under penalty of perjury) explaining the second parent’s unavailability.

Barn bortføres til Norge – Aftenposten 13 Mars

Fortvilte foreldre ber om hjelp

Av: Roald Ramsdal, Aftenposten.no

Norske ekspartnere bortfører barn fra blant annet USA og Sverige – til Norge. fortvilte foreldre i utlandet ber sikkerhetseksperter om råd for å få barna tilbake. 30 barn ble bortført til Norge ifjor. i 2009 og 2008 var tallet henholdsvis 28 barn og 15 barn viser tall fra Justisdepartementet og Utenriksdepartementet. antallet barnebortføringssaker til Norge i 2010 er det høyeste siden JD og UD startet å føre felles statistikk i 2004.

A-Magasinet skrev Fredag om Christine fra Jersey, som opplevde at hennes to barn ble bortført til Norge av hennes norske eksmann. Til tross for at britisk rett har gitt henne foreldreansvaret for barna, støtter flere norske rettsinnstanser den norske faren.

Vi har fått flere forespørsler fra foreldre i utlandet som har opplevd at barna deres har blitt bortført til Norge av den andre forelderen, sier Martin Waage. Han er  Europasjef  for det internasjonelle sikkerhetsselskapet ABP World Group Ltd., som blant annet har spesialisert seg på å hente hjem bortførte barn. Pr. dags dato er det ikke blitt noen oppdrag etter henvendelsene. Når det eventuelt blir aktuell, vil vi nok behandle disse sakene på lik linje med saker der barn er bortført fra Norge til utlandet forteller Waage.

Dårlig rettssikkerhet

Han forteller om henvendelser både fra Europe, land i midtøsten og Nord Afrika. De fortvilede foreldrene spør Waage hva de kan gjøre for å vinne frem med sakene sine i det norske rettssystemet. Det er vanskelig å gi gode råd. Jeg råder dem til å skaffe seg en så god advokat som mulig. Advokaten må ha kompetanse på barnebortføringssaker, og helst være profilert sier Waage. Han mener rettssikkerheten til utenlandske statsborgere ikke er god i barnebortføringssaker der den som har bortført barnet er norsk statsborger, – Utenlanddske statsborgere får ofte ingen rettferdig behandling i det norske rettssystemet i disse sakene. De har egentlig ikke så mye annet valg enn å skaffe seg en veldig bra norsk advokat  – eller å få hentet ut ungene fra Norge. Sjansen for å vinne gjennom i rettssystemet er veldig liten sier Waage.

Han mener selv om både Norge og eventuelt det landet barnet er bortført fra har signert Haagkonvensjonen, så hjelper det lite. Han forteller at ABP World Group forholder seg til internasjonelle lover, konvensjoner og rettskraftige dommer når de vurderer om de skal takke ja til et oppdrag. Ifølge Waage ville det ha vært uaktuellt for ABP å hjelpe faren med å hente Christines to barn til Norge. – Vi er nødt til å forholde oss til gjeldende rettsavgjørelser. Det hadde være mer aktuelt for oss å hjelpe moren med å få barna tilbake til Jersey sier Waage.

Det Norske rettssystemet er korrupt

Kilde: A-Magasinet, Karine Østtveit 11.3.2011

Opprørte politikere: “Jeg kan nesten ikke tro det. Dette er ting man forventer av land som Uganda – ikke fra Norge”

På telefon fra Jersey er tidligere parlamentsmedlem Gerard Baudains opprørt.

Tidligere samme dag har han sendt en e-post: “Det norske rettsystemet er like korrupt som hvilket som helst land i den tredje verden.. Ring meg.”

Jeg tror jeg har brukt flere hundre timer på denne saken. Vi har forøkt alt. Reiser, møter, brev, telefoner –  ingenting har nyttet. norske myndigheter vil ikke høre. Hvem har ellers engasjert seg på Jersey? – Mange, svært mange. Lederen for parlamentet på Jersey og jeg har flere ganger diskutert denne saken spesifikt. Jeg tror de fleste parlaments-medlemmene er klar over den sier Baudains.

På ett tidspunkt var han også innkalt som vitne, for å redegjøre for Jerseys holdning i saken. Politikeren reiste til Norge for å foklare Jerseys standpunkt – men da han kom hit, ville ikke dommeren tillate vitnesbyrdet hans. Også ved den britiske ambassaden har man jobbet mye med Christines sak. – I denne saken ble det faktisk vurdert å sende en formell note til det norske justisdepartementet for å klage på behandlingen Christine fikk.
