Law Against Child Snatching Debated By Texas Parents
Eunice Munford, Texas mother, recalls police treating her four missing children as a domestic dispute while ex-spouse kept custody. The ABA cites 100,000 yearly child snatchings by noncompliant parents with only 10 percent returned. The Carter era federal law standardizes custody orders and empowers the FBI and Parent Locator Service, but critics say enforcement remains weak and local authorities slow to act. The article also notes personal cases of parents seeking help from police, prosecutors, and the FBI with limited success.
