mother or father?
No. Because it's not your child [It may be but you don't have custody]. You should call the police.
Reuben (Gen 30:14)

If a father finds out he is the biological father of a child, he has as many rights to the child as the mother does. He can take the mother to court for custody or to set up a parenting plan.
Not likely. The child is 17 and if there was a Court order, the Court found some reason to allow the child to leave. At 17, a child may instruct the Court as to where he/she wants to live and why. You should still have visitation rights, even if the child is out of state.
The mother was found guilty of willful child neglect.
This will depend on whether or not she listed you on the birth certificate, or was she married when the child was born.
No, Dave Pelzer's mother did not go to jail. She was found guilty of child abuse and lost custody of Dave, but she did not serve any time in jail.
Yes. However, if there is a father around, he can file an injunction for the child to be returned.
A mother is a piece of jewelry that symbolizes the bond between a child and its mother. It can be found in the forms of earrings, or as a main piece hanging from a necklace, among other things.
