Parental kidnapping is illegal. Parental kidnapping is far more than a dispute regarding custody matters between divorcing parents. Parental kidnapping is a criminal act [which] violates the laws of all U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands, plus U.S. federal laws and international laws.

Then why is nothing done when the mother is the one who abducts the children, even when the father has sole custody?
Introduction
David is the father of four children, two girls and two boys. The court awarded him sole custody of all four children because their mother (his ex-wife) joined a violent religious cult that was abusing the children, neglecting them, and keeping them out of school. She was deemed a danger to the children, yet still permitted visitation. The court also ordered David’s ex-wife to pay him child support. To date, he has not received a dime. While his children were visiting his ex-wife, she abducted them and disappeared with other members of the cult. David contacted the police, who said they could do nothing because it occurred in another state. He contacted the FBI who declined to get involved because it was a “civil matter”. David took it upon himself to search for and try to rescue his children on his own. He succeeded in rescuing his youngest daughter two states away. The other three disappeared.
When a Man Acts
David tracked his ex-wife and children to Las Vegas when he saw the cult on YouTube two years later. They were present at a specific street corner every day with their cult members, “preaching” and trying to scam people. He called the Las Vegas police and child protective services, both of whom did … NOTHING. The Las Vegas police did contact David several weeks later, when they picked up one of his sons stealing food in a casino. They told him that if he did not come to Las Vegas immediately and pick up his son, they would charge him with child neglect and child abuse. David asked them to go to the same street corner in Las Vegas where the cult was still panhandling to pick up his other children. They declined saying it wasn’t part of the case, even when the boy who was picked up corroborated the abusive and illegal activity taking place.
Once again, nothing was done to the woman who abducted the children, who was violating a court order just by having them and owed several years of back child support. There was never any talk of any charges being filed against her by police departments in three states, child protective services, or the FBI. Judges in two states also refused to act. So basically, all the authorities tried to do in this case is threaten to charge David with neglect after his ex-wife had kidnapped three of his children. Charging the victim of a crime, but letting the perpetrator run free, because the victim is a man, and the perpetrator is a woman.
David is in the process of renewing his efforts to get authorities to act with the added testimony of his oldest son about the child abuse and criminal activities perpetrated by his ex-wife. As if abduction of the children from the parent who has sole custody was not enough already for them to act. The boy who was rescued had evidence of other children in the cult having been abducted from their father through manipulation of the mother. David contacted the father who confirmed this. Armed with this new information, both the police and FBI did … nothing.
When a Woman Acts
Contrast the authorities’ refusal to act in this situation with a personal situation I had years ago. My son, 11 years old at the time, was visiting me for a month during the summer as permitted by the visitation rights stipulated in the decree of divorce from his mother. He neglected to call her one evening, and she was able to dispatch the local sheriff to my home to track down the child and investigate me. No legal action was taken, but it is telling to see how fast law enforcement moves when a woman makes an allegation, versus how they don’t move at all when a man makes the very same allegation. The system is very, very heavily weighted towards the woman, many of whom complain they are getting the short end of the stick. Sure they get “stuck” with raising the child, but perhaps that is because, out of vengeance and control, they refuse to let the father have any part in it and use the courts to enforce it.
The Legal Disparity
Imagine if the roles were reversed. Imagine if David did not pay child support. The government would use its agencies to garnish his wages directly from his employer. If David did not have an employer, a concerted effort would be made to have him imprisoned. His driver’s license and professional licenses would be flagged and suspended. The legal and economic might of both the state and nation would be brought to bear against him if he did not comply. They would even pursue him overseas if he tried to flee there. However, when his ex-wife fails to pay, the authorities just laugh it off. I have a similar situation as a single parent with sole custody caring for a young child. The judge granted child support to me, but both he and the lawyer commented, “Good luck collecting any of it.” They both knew that no effort would be made to collect anything from a deadbeat mom, despite it being required by the law.
Imagine if David had disappeared with his children during visitation. The authorities would have immediately declared him a kidnapper and dangerous criminal. A nationwide Amber Alert would have gone out over every cell phone and authorities in every state would have been on the lookout to apprehend him. When caught, he would face 20 or more years in prison, for taking his own children. Contrast this with David telling police exactly where his abducted children were, doing all the investigative work for them, and receiving their response of, “That’s not our concern.” Adding insult to injury, when the police picked up one of the children, they threatened to charge David, not the abductor, with criminal acts! What’s wrong with this picture!?!
Not My Fault
For any women out there who say, “I’m not like that,” I ask, have you ever stood up and condemned what women who are like that do? Have you ever publicly stated that this is wrong, and you do not support it? Have you ever stood before judge in divorce court and said, “This is unfair. I don’t want any child support. I want the father to have full custody 50% of the time and we will split the costs. I also don’t want anything that he brought into the marriage.” I seriously doubt any woman has ever done that. You claim to be “not like that,” yet tacitly reap the benefits of being exactly like that.
The Resulting “Justice”
The only way a man will ever get custody of his children, aside from being a highly skilled and manipulative sociopath who sways courts and judges with ease, is if the mother is either a severe drug addict, diagnosed as mentally deranged, or has abandoned her children. Even then, it is not a guarantee. Also, if the mother has abandoned the children, don’t expect any child support the way you would have to pay if it was the other way around. Oh, they may award you child support, but don’t expect any efforts will be made to track her down and enforce it the way they do with men. You could provide them with an address, and they won’t even go enforce it. You can petition the court and they will just laugh at you. So, in a nutshell, if you are a man you pay or go to jail. If you are a woman, you can abandon your children without consequences.
So a kidnapper, child abuser, fraudster and deadbeat has the liberty of continuing to engage in all these criminal activities without the slightest fear of being investigated or pursued … because the accused is a woman. Why do police, district attorneys, judges, child “protective” organizations and federal agencies decline to get involved? It may be that the person making the decision is a woke progressive who believes that a woman cannot be an aggressor and a man cannot be a victim. More likely, the person making the decision knows they will have to run a gauntlet of woke, progressive superiors, judges, media, advocacy agencies and politicians in order to pursue such a case. The chances of incrementing whatever metric is used to positively evaluate their performance with such a case is slim to none. Far better for them to pursue a “safe” case involving a man as the accused. If they push a case against a woman they might even find their career advancement halted or their career terminated.
