El 53% de llamadas a número de niños desaparecidos es por secuestro parental

El 53 por ciento de las llamadas recibidas entre septiembre de 2010 y marzo de 2011 al número 116000 para casos de niños desaparecidos que gestiona la Fundación Anar hacen referencia al secuestro parental de un menor. 

Así lo asegura en un comunicado la Fundación Anar, con motivo de la conmemoración mañana del Día Internacional de Niños Desaparecidos, jornada que tiene su origen en un hecho ocurrido el 25 de mayo de 1979 cuando un menor fue raptado en Nueva York (Estados Unidos) y posteriormente se le dio por desaparecido.

La Fundación puso en marcha en España el pasado 15 de septiembre el número único de la UE 116000 para casos de niños desaparecidos tras adjudicarle la gestión de este servicio el Ministerio de Industria, Turismo y Comercio.

Anar asegura que los familiares amigos y educadores de los niños desaparecidos viven una situación “inimaginable para todos”, por lo que es necesario “brindarles el apoyo psicológico, técnico y jurídico que pueda aliviar la angustia de estos momentos”. La UE respondió a este problema precisamente con la implantación del teléfono único 116000 para todo el continente, que en el futuro apunta el comunicado, será de ámbito mundial.

Actualmente, este número está activo en 13 países europeos y para ofrecer este servicio en España y actuar de “forma coordinada” con el resto de los países europeos, la Fundación Anar forma parte de la plataforma internacional “Missing Children Europe” (Niños Perdidos Europa). El total de llamadas atendidas desde que se puso en marcha el teléfono el 15 de septiembre de 2010 hasta el 31 de marzo de 2011, asciende a 1.775 llamadas procedentes de toda España y muchas de ellas son para informarse sobre las características del servicio y qué ayudas puede ofrecer.

Hasta el 31 de Marzo de 2011, estas llamadas han dado origen a la apertura de 117 casos por desaparición de un menor.
Según explica la Fundación Anar, un niño desaparecido puede haberse fugado de su domicilio, ser un menor de edad inmigrante no acompañado, puede ser objeto de un secuestro parental, puede estar perdido o herido, o bien puede ser víctima de un secuestro.

En este sentido, indica que en el periodo de tiempo mencionado, el 53 por ciento de los casos atendidos hacen referencia al secuestro parental de un menor, es decir, cuando uno o ambos padres, o la persona que ostenta la guarda del menor se lo lleva a otro lugar dentro del país, o al extranjero, contra la voluntad del otro progenitor.

El 33 por ciento de los casos se deben a fugas de menores de su domicilio: aquellas en las que el menor voluntariamente se va o abandona su casa, la institución donde está acogido o la compañía de las personas que son responsables de su cuidado.

Norwegian/Maltese Child Abduction -Maltese father wins child ‘abduction’ case

Friday, 4th February 2011

Toddler to stay with dad after mum claims abduction

The young son of a couple who met on the internet will remain in Malta with his Maltese father after a court dismissed his Norwegian mother’s claim he had been abducted.

Madam Justice Anna Felice ruled the island was the child’s habitual residence after the couple had travelled to Malta intending to establish their residence here.

The child’s parents met over the internet in 2008 and the mother travelled to Malta and remained here until January the following year. On her return to Norway she discovered she was pregnant and the father moved to Norway to be with her.

Following the birth of the child in September 2009, the father found out the mother had another child from a previous marriage. This child had been removed from her care and placed in a foster home, the court heard.

The second child was born suffering from withdrawals from the medication the mother used to take and the Norwegian Social Services intervened. This led to both parents fearing the child would be taken away from them and they decided to leave Norway and come to Malta when the child was only a few days old.

They immediately had the child registered as a Maltese national and established a home together. However, their relationship ended last year and the father was awarded care and custody of the child in January 2010. The mother returned to Norway.

Claiming the father had abducted the child, she submitted a request to the Department for Standards in Social Protection for the child to be returned to Norway.

The father argued that, as he and the mother had come to Malta when their son was only a few days old intending to establish their residence here, this was not a case of child abduction.

The Family Court heard that, in terms of the Hague Convention on child abduction, no court was obliged to order the return of a child if the contesting parent had consented to the child travelling. Nor was the court obliged to order the return if this could expose the child to physical or psychological danger.

Madam Justice Felice noted it resulted from the evidence the couple had intended to establish their residence here and that this country constituted the child’s habitual residence. It also resulted that the mother suffered from mental illness and that her state of health was poor.

The court, therefore, refused the mother’s request to order the return of the child to Norway.

Parental Alienation Syndrom – Alec Baldwin on CNN

Parental alienation syndrome (abbreviated as PAS) is term coined by Richard A. Gardner in the early 1980s to refer to what he describes as a disorder in which a child, on an ongoing basis, belittles and insults one parent without justification, due to a combination of factors, including indoctrination by the other parent (almost exclusively as part of a child custody dispute) and the child’s own attempts to denigrate the target parent. Gardner introduced the term in a 1985 paper, describing a cluster of symptoms he had observed during the early 1980s.

Child Abduction Prevention

CHILD ABDUCTION PREVENTION The following information is from The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention In light of the high profile abductions of several children, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) encourages families not to panic. Instead, parents need to empower themselves with information that can help protect their children. CHILD ABDUCTION: STATISTICS Parental abductions and runaway cases make up the majority of missing children in the United States. In 2002 there were about 797,500 children reported missing, or nearly 2,185 per day. The vast majority of these cases were recovered quickly; however, the parent or guardian was concerned enough to contact law enforcement and they placed the child into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center – a computerized national database of criminal justice information. It is available to Federal, state and local law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies. Each year there are about 3,000 to 5,000 non-family abductions reported to police, most of which are short term sexually-motivated cases. About 200 to 300 of these cases, or 6 percent, make up the most serious cases where the child was murdered, ransomed or taken with the intent to keep. The NCMEC analyzed more than 4200 attempted abductions from February 2005 to March 2010 and found that 38% of attempted abductions occur while a child is walking alone to or from school, riding the school bus or riding a bicycle; 37 % of attempted abductions occur between the hours of 2:00pm through 7:00pm on a weekday; 43% of attempted abductions involve children between the ages of 10 and 14; 72% of attempted abduction victims are female; 68 % of attempted abductions involve the suspect driving a vehicle. Research shows that of the 58,000 non-family abductions each year 63% involved a friend, long-term acquaintaince, neighbor, caretaker, baby sitter or person of authority; only 37% involved a stranger. SAFETY TIPS FOR PARENTS: Be sure to go over the rules with your children about whose homes they can visit when you’re not there and discuss the boundaries of where they can and can’t go in the neighborhood. Always listen to your children and keep the lines of communication open. Teach your children to get out of dangerous or uncomfortable situations right away, and practice role-playing and basic safety skills with them. Teach your children in whose car they may ride. Children should be cautioned never to approach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless accompanied by a parent or trusted adult. Make sure children know their names, address, telephone numbers and how to use the telephone. Choose babysitters with care. Obtain references from family, friends and neighbors. SAFETY TIPS FOR CHILDREN: Always check first with your parents or the person in charge before you go anywhere or do anything. Always take a friend when you play or go somewhere. Don’t be tricked by adults who offer you special treats or gifts or ask you for help. Don’t be afraid to say no and get away from any situation that makes you feel uncomfortable or confused. Trust your feelings. Don’t get into a car or go near a car with someone in it unless you are with your parents or a trusted adult. Never take a ride from someone without checking first with your parents. Never go into a public restroom by yourself. Never go alone to the mall, movies, video arcades or parks. Stay safe when you’re home alone by keeping the door locked. Do not open the door for or talk to anyone who stops by unless the person is a trusted family friend or relative. INTERNATIONAL PARENTAL ABDUCTION In situations where parents have not resolved the issue of child custody, and one of the parents has ties to another country, there is the risk that that parent might take the child with them to a foreign country. Parents who are in this situation can find useful information about international parental abduction in “A Family Resource Guide on International Parental Kidnapping” published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

Bygger anti-islamsk nettverk

Den høyreekstreme bevegelsen English Defence League vokser ikke bare i rekordfart i England. Den har tette forbindelser til anti-islamske grupper i Norge, Europa og USA.

NDL beskriver seg selv slik:

«NDL er en mye mer tolerant og anti–rasistisk orientert organisasjon en dagens såkalte anti-rasistiske organisasjoner er. NDL tar blant annet sterk avstand fra nazisme og vi ønsker jøder hjertlig velkommne både som medlemmer av NDL og til å delta i våre demonstrasjoner.»(3)På denne måten unngår de nazi-stempelet, og prøver å skjule sin rasistiske agenda. Rasismen er derimot dårlig skjult, ettersom et angrep på islam iogforseg er et angrep på arabere. De fleste arabere er muslimer, og de utgjør også størsteparten av verdens muslimer. De bruker altså nøyaktig den samme strategien som nazistene og andre fascister brukte i mellomkrigsårene (demonisering av folkegrupper), selv om «fienden» nå er en annen. Selv om de brede lag av befolkningen offentlig tar avstand fra grupper som NDL, bidrar disse til å spre visse holdninger og vrangforestillinger av nyhetsbildet.

250 antirasister samlet seg på Stortorvet og rasistene fra Norges Defence League (NDL) dukket aldri opp. Lørdag 26. februar samlet antirasister i Oslo seg for å demonstrere mot rasistiske grupperinger og den økte rasismen mot muslimer etter at NDL hadde annonsert at de ville holde en demonstrasjon på Stortorvet i Oslo. Rasistene fra NDL dukket aldri opp etter å ha vært vitne til mobiliseringen og støtten som den antirasistiske demonstrasjonen fikk.

NDLs forbilde er English Defence League, en selverklært anti-islamistisk engelsk bevegelse som rekrutterer aktivt innenfor bl.a. fotballsupportermiljøene. Et nettsøk av bevegelsen viser at de har begynt å bli ganske aktive, både på sin vanlige bloggnettside og via ulike Facebook-grupper, hvor de til sammen har 800 medlemmer fordelt på ulike grupper. Med slagord som “no surrender”, sverger NDL på å “forsvare Norge fra sharialovgivning” og “forsvare ytringsfriheten”.

– Om islamiseringen forsetter så får vi en fremtid vi ikke engang tør forestille oss. Her er det ikke snakk om politikk eller om å utestenge folk, men om å ta avstand fra den ekstreme religionen islams inntog i Norge, Norden og Europa, skriver NDL på nettsiden norwegiandefenceleague.wordpress.com.

Vokser

Det siste året har bevegelsen vokst i rekordfart, med over 40000 medlemmer på Facebook. Etter først å ha operert i det skjulte, har den nå stått frem med et usminket budskap og med ledere som har valgt å røpe sin identitet. På EDLs hjemmeside er de også åpne om hvor og når de planlegger demonstrasjoner og aksjoner. I det siste er det blitt kjent at bevegelsen jobber målbevisst med å bygge allianser både i Europa og USA.

Tette bånd

Størst oppsikt har det vakt at EDL har tette bånd til den innflytelsesrike Tea Party-bevegelsen i USA. Da den kontroversielle amerikanske rabbineren og Tea Party-aktivisten, Nachum Shifren holdt en flammende appell til støtte for Israels krig mot militant islam i London i midten av oktober, deltok over 250 English Defence League aktivister i punktdemonstrasjonen. Mens rabbineren fordømte sharialover og advarte mot at «islam vil overta dette landet», skrek demonstrantene «E–D–L», og «no surrender»(ingen overgivelse). Søndagsavisen The Observer mener å vite at den kontroversielle rabbineren skal ha diskutert finansieringsstøtte til EDL. Les siste nytt i VG her og om PST sin trusselvurdering

L’enlèvement international d’enfant et le déplacement illicite d’enfant

Pour les parents victimes d’un enlèvement d’enfant vers l’étranger, ou qui sont dans l’incapacité d’exercer leur droit de visites, ou qui ont de solides raisons de craindre que leur conjoint n’emmène l’enfant pour l’installer à l’étranger sans l’accord de l’autre parent, le Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, Sous-Direction de la Coopération Internationale en Droit de la Famille est l’interlocuteur premier.

Les déplacements illicites d’enfants

Un déplacement d’enfant est une situation très délicate et complexe, tout particulièrement lorsque plusieurs pays sont concernés. Chaque cas est unique et chaque pays a sa propre législation et son propre système juridique, ce qui fait qu’une décision judiciaire prononcée dans un pays ne sera pas forcément applicable dans un autre. Pour éviter cela, la France a conclu des accords avec certains pays et surtout elle a ratifié, le 1er décembre 1983, un traité international sur les aspects civils de l’enlèvement international d’enfants, signé à La Haye le 25 octobre 1980 : la Convention de La Haye.

Les pays n’ayant pas conclu avec la France de convention en matière de déplacement illicite et de garde d’enfant Une décision de justice ne peut pas faire l’objet d’une exécution forcée sur un territoire étranger, sans avoir préalablement été reconnue par la justice du pays considéré. En l’absence de convention particulière entre les deux pays concernés le requérant devra engager une procédure dite “d’exequatur” dans le pays étranger. Dès que le jugement rendu en France est revêtu de l’exequatur, il devient exécutoire sur tout le territoire de ce pays.En pratique un parent qui ne peut pas faire respecter sur un territoire étranger une décision judiciaire dont il est titulaire en France, devra prendre un avocat sur place pour engager et suivre la procédure d’exequatur locale ou son équivalent et demander l’exécution forcée de la décision, si cela s’avère nécessaire.

Elterliche Kindesentführung, Kindesmitnahme, Kindesentzug – Deutschland

Kindesentführung, Kindesmitnahme, Kindesentzug – die unterschiedlichen Begriffe sind der Versuch sprachlich zu unterscheiden zwischen einer Entführung durch einen fremden Täter – ein hochkrimineller Akt – und der Tat eines Elternteils, der im Zusammenhang mit familiären Krisen und Konflikten das gemeinsame Kind ins Ausland bringt. Die Begriffe Kindesentzug und Kindesmitnahme sollen die familiäre Dynamik im Hintergrund in das Blickfeld rücken. Allerdings ist und bleibt eine Kindesmitnahme oder ein Kindesentzug durch einen Elternteil zugleich eine Kindesentführung, die auch strafrechtliche Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen kann

Wann liegt eine Kindesentführung vor?

Eine Kindesmitnahme ist eine Sorgerechtsverletzung. Sie liegt vor, wenn ein Elternteil, der nicht im Besitz der alleinigen elterlichen Sorge oder des Aufenthaltsbestimmungsrechtes ist, das gemeinsame Kind gegen den Willen des anderen Elternteils ins Ausland bringt. Gemeinsam sorgeberechtigte Elternteile müssen gemeinsam über den Aufenthaltsort des Kindes entscheiden, d.h. dass auch ein Elternteil der zwar im Besitz der elterlichen Sorge ist – aber eben gemeinsam mit dem anderen Elternteil – nicht das Recht hat, mit dem Kind seinen Aufenthaltsort ins Ausland zu verlegen, selbst wenn das Kind normalerweise bei ihm/ihr lebt. Es handelt sich im Übrigen auch um eine Kindesentführung, wenn ein Kind nach einem vereinbarten Besuch im Ausland nicht zurückgeschickt wird..

Wann kann es dazu kommen?

Ängste vor einer Kindesentführung oder die Drohung damit sind in fast allen binationalen Familien in Krisen und schwerwiegenden Konfliktsituationen anzutreffen. Die Spannbreite liegt zwischen panischer Angst und deutlicher Drohung bis hin zu ganz unterschwelligen, wagen Befürchtungen oder entsprechenden Andeutungen.
Erfahrungen zeigen, dass Ängste vor einer Kindesentführungen oder die Drohung damit vor allem in Zusammenhang mit Trennung und Scheidung auftreten, zumeist im Vorfeld oder in einer akuten Trennungssituation, aber auch noch nach bereits lange zurückliegender Trennung. Hintergrund sind in der Regel eskalierte Konflikte und der Versuch über das Kind Druck auf den Partner auszuüben, um bestimmte Ziele zu erreichen, z.B. die Trennung zu verhindern bzw. rückgängig zu machen. Auf Seiten eines ausländischen Elternteils kann aber auch das Gefühl, ausgegrenzt zu werden und in Deutschland nicht zu.

Wat is een internationale kinderontvoering door een ouder?

We spreken van een internationale ontvoering door een ouder als een ouder (of voogd) zijn kind meeneemt naar een ander land dan het land waar het normaal woont, zonder wettelijke toelating van de andere ouder. Onder deze definitie vallen ook de dossiers van kinderen die niet meer bij één van hun ouders in het buitenland op bezoek mogen gaan.

Het aantal kinderen dat door een van de ouders is ontvoerd nam vorig jaar weer toe. In het aantal ouderlijke kinderontvoeringen door de laatste jaren zit een stijgende lijn.

Uit de nieuwste cijfers van het Centrum Internationale Kinderontvoering (CIK) blijkt dat vorig jaar 182 kinderen werden ontvoerd door een van de ouders. Het gaat om 125 zaken. Twee jaar geleden ging het nog om 144 ontvoerde kinderen. In 2007 staat de teller op 77 kinderen die oneigenlijk wordt meegenomen. Van internationale kinderontvoering is sprake als een kind ongeoorloofd naar een ander land wordt overgebracht. Of daar onrechtmatig wordt vastgehouden door een van de ouders.
Het zijn vaak de moeders die de kinderen meenemen zonder dat de vader hiervan op de hoogte is. Zo ontvoerden moeders vorig jaar 79 maal het kind of de kinderen. Dinsdag werd de 39-jarige kinderontvoerder Hadi D. veroordeeld tot vier jaar cel voor het ontvoeren van zijn 12-jarige zoon Hamza. D. haalde op 10 juli 1999 zijn toen bijna 2-jarige zoontje weg bij zijn moeder in Assen en bracht het kind onder in Algerije. Daar wonen zij nog steeds.

You Kidnap My Child, And I Get In Trouble?

Divorce

That word hurts.

In the ideal world, a child doesn’t know that word. In today’s world (arguably the exact opposite of ideal), a child not only knows that word but knows many friends with divorced parents, including his own. Actually, my friends and I get excited when we hear about someone’s parents still together. You can literally hear us exclaiming something like, “WOW. How did that happen??” Parents staying together “in good times and in bad” and “in sickness and in health” is a rarity.

According to the enrichment journal on the current divorce rate in America, first marriages fail 50 percent of the time; second marriages fail 60 percent; and third marriages fail 73 percent. Only ten years ago, the U.S. Bureau of Census reported a 40 percent failure of first marriages.

If being apart is more common than staying together, child custody battles are bound to be everywhere.

As a teacher, I’ve seen more than several cases. I would hope for a situation where both parents would walk into a conference and things would go smoothly, as both want the best for their child. And in some circumstances, this would be the case. Excellent. A smooth meeting.

And then the other scene would take place: Mom accuses Dad of hiding things; Dad accuses Mom of lying to the child. If anything went awry, fingers were pointed. My heart always went to the sweet child caught in the middle.

Sorrowfully, this may be the least of child custody complications.

Parental kidnapping occurs more often than reported. According to Lost Children, more than 350,000 family abductions occur in the U.S. each year – that is nearly 1,000 per day!

Recently, an American dad was in the news. Why? His ex-wife took their two children to her home country, Japan. Not on a visit to see family. She fled the United States with the kids.

Need some history on this couple? Here’s the breakdown: Christopher and Noriko were married for 14 years. They lived in Japan for a while but moved back to the United States before the divorce. She agreed during the divorce to remain in the United States. She didn’t. The courts then gave sole custody to Christopher.

What’s a father to do? Forget about it, not deal with it, and never see his children again? Let the mother do whatever she wants? Let her get away with kidnap?

No. He went to be a father. He went to make things right. Easy enough, yeah? No. Japan still recognizes the mother as the sole custodian.

Christopher abducted the children as they were on their way to school.

Pause. I am NOT saying it’s okay to kidnap children – even your own. Children are traumatized enough as it is. However…(nah, I’ll wait for that. Back to our story.)

Christopher ended up getting caught, seconds away from the front gate of the U.S. consulate’s office. Ouch. He’s currently in jail for child abduction in Japan.

Now, where was I? Yes. However…

Shouldn’t certain things be understood between nations, like custody, for example? Different nations have different rules. I understand that some things are different…steal an apple here? Not a big problem. Steal an apple somewhere else? Could be a big problem. But children’s rights? Kidnap? I’m thinking that should be a lot closer to universal. Why isn’t it? Last time I checked, children are humans….and they have rights. So, this case could be argued as a human rights case.

And if divorce rates are rising, shouldn’t our concern for parental kidnapping rise as well?
