Yes, taking a child across state lines without permission from the custodial parent or legal guardian can be considered kidnapping under federal law.
Yes. Believe it or not, well over 90% of all reported kidnappings are just a parent taking their child away from the other parent.Addendum:It could be considered kidnapping. It might be considered the lesser charge of Custodial Interference.
If an adult, it is ABDUCTION. If a child it is KIDNAPPING.
Assuming the minor is your child, and you are still married (therefore, no custody settlement) then no, it would not be considered kidnapping.
leave now before he starts hitting the child. It is not kidnapping, you are only trying to protect you and your child. Get help, call the cops.
If you kidnap a child you would be charged with child indangermeant and probably a few other things.
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.
If the non-custodial parent refuses to return the child it may be considered kidnapping.

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......
yes it could well be a crime. you are stealing from the government. but i doubt it would be considered kidnapping when the child hasn't even reached zygote form. so you will just be stealing.
No, a parent cannot legally kidnap their own child in the USA. Kidnapping is a criminal offense, and taking a child without permission or in violation of a custody agreement is considered abduction. Parents must follow legal procedures and court orders regarding custody and visitation rights.
I believe it would probably be labelled as custodial interference if both parents have custody of the child. It's usually only kidnapping if someone without custody of the child takes them, though different states and judicial systems will all make their own decisions.
If you are taking the child across border then yes.
