Child Custody, Divorce, Parental Abduction: How To Protect Your Children From International Parental Abduction

'How do I protect and prevent my child from being internationally abducted by their other parent?' This question is often asked by parents in messy and nasty divorces especially when the child's other parent was born in a foreign country and may still be a citizen of that country.

Yes - parents who are getting divorced to a person who is a citizen of another country than the country they live in have to be aware of the warning signs and risk factors of international parental child abduction.

Divorce and child custody disputes create serious concern when a foreign born parent wants to take their child and travel to a foreign country. As the terminology 'International Parental Child Abduction' becomes more mainstream, parents involved born in two different countries now involved in divorce or separation proceedings must be aware of the warning signs and risk factors of international parental child abduction.

Summer is the time of year when children are targeted for international parental child abduction.

Parental abduction is a serious crime that often can place the child in serious danger. In fact, a special report by the U.S. Government confirmed that children who are parentally abducted are often in great risk of being severely injured and even murdered by their abducting parent.

So, parents who have or are presently going through a divorce, particularly with a person who was born in a foreign country, must be extremely aware of the risk factors associated with allowing a child to travel to a foreign country once divorce proceedings have commenced.

Know the warning signs and risk factors of international parental child abduction.

Any parent who is considering to allow a child to travel abroad with the other parent, or any parent who has had a court grant the other parent permission to travel outside of the country with their other parent should strongly consider using the I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Consent Form. The consent form was designed to assist parents prevent child abduction.

Today is July 1st, 2013. The summer is now here. So too is the fact that the summer season is international parental child abduction season.

Parents need to educate themselves and stop child abduction.

U.S. International Parental Child Abduction Rate Drops For Second Year In Row

Since the I CARE Foundation's inception, outbound reported cases of international parental child abduction originating from the United States has dropped by over 15%. This is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly when considering U.S. abductions skyrocketed during the previous 30 years. The drop in reported cases of international kidnappings is clearly related to government and non-government organizations efforts to raise society's awareness of abduction, while also creating new laws and policies geared to protecting children: issues the I CARE Foundation has worked hard at accomplishing.

CHASING PARENTS

In an effort to help families in crisis due to an international parental child abduction plan or actual kidnapping, I have created a detailed educational documentary film series titled Chasing Parents: Racing Into The Storms Of International Parental Child Abduction. Many targeted parents and advocates from around the world have found this series to be extremely useful. Click here to see the entire film series. Below is Chasing Parents: An Overview of International Parental Child Abduction (Part I).

The I CARE Foundation

The I CARE Foundation is a non-profit organization that has built an extensive history of fighting international parental child abduction since inception, incuding having an active role in reducing the reported cases of international parental child abduction originating from the United States by 15% for each of the past two years (fiscal year 2011 and 2012) in contrast to a nearly thirty years of skyrocketing increases in abduction. The I CARE Foundation has been very effective in creating new laws and policies created to protect our nation's children, while also playing critical roles in reuniting numerous internationally kidnapped children with their parents.

Thank you for stopping by! As many of you know, I love being
a historical fiction writer. My storytelling evolves around topics I find interesting and current to the social dialogue, including subjects such as religion, science, technology, capitalism, and parenting. In each of my novels, several of these issues are typically weaved into the story's plot, with the hope and intent to keep my readers entertained while also providing some interesting historical facts intended to accelerate each story's plot. Like any author, it is my hope to entertain my readers while at times also stirring emotions to create a social reaction the way my novel Chasing The Cyclone has played a key role in raising social awareness of international parental child abduction, including becoming the seed that led to the creation of the I CARE Foundation. Now you may ask yourself, 'How impactful has Chasing The Cyclone been?'

Significant.

For example prior to the activism created from Chasing The Cyclone, international child abduction in the United States was advancing at a pandemic rate for nearly 30 consecutive years in a row. Then Chasing The Cyclone was released and along with it came a diverse, wide-spread, and highly impactful tools and measures that have remarkably played a heavy role in reducing the rate of international parental child kidnappings in the United States by over 15% per year during fiscal years 2011 and 2012. God willing, the efforts of the I CARE Foundation and other hard-working organizations will lead to another decline in the IPCA rate originating from the United States while also leading to a much-needed reduction of IPCA in other countries. As far as my writing there is one thing more than anything else that you may be
interested in knowing as it is at the core of my storytelling: if you listen carefully, you will hear the voice of a father who loves his son more than words can ever express. Thank you for your support and interest in my writing and activism. I hope you find my writing entertaining, educational, and that
each of my novels stirs your emotions.

I invite you to read a special message about my writing and volunteer work assisting children in crisis. (A Special Message From Peter)

Remeber - life is filled with magic. Embrace each day to the fullest!
