Can a principal be charged with kidnapping if they took a child under 18 across the state line without parental permission in Mississippi?

Yes, a principal can potentially be charged with kidnapping if they take a child under 18 across state lines without parental permission in Mississippi. Kidnapping laws typically involve the unlawful taking or transportation of a minor, and crossing state lines adds a federal element that could lead to more serious charges. The specifics of the case, including intent and circumstances, would be crucial in determining whether kidnapping charges are appropriate. Legal advice from an attorney would be essential in such situations.

Is it illegal for a 25 or 26 year old male to take a 15 or 16 year old female across state lines in Iowa without parents consent?

Yes, because she is a minor it would be considered kidnapping. Response : I posted the question, and we have already contacted the police and they are looking into the code, but evidently it is NOT considered kidnapping because it was not against her will. I don't understand how it is illegal for a non-custodial parent to take his OWN child across state lines without the custodial parents consent, but a guy can take MY child across state lines without my consent? There is something wrong here......
