How we can help:
- We can work with law enforcement to try to stop the departure of children being abducted from the United States.
- If the abductor is transiting a country that is party to the Hague Abduction Convention, we will contact authorities of that
country who can attempt to stop the abduction as it is in progress.
- If your child has already been abducted to another country, please visit our possible solutions page for more information, and then contact us for assistance.
