Judianne Cochran, a  consultant in interstate/international parental abduction (criminalthe children1.jpg interference with custody), custodial interference and parental alienation sent along these comments in regard to the abduction of three boys by their Westchester fathers..

She often becomes a liaison between a parent and agencies involved in custody investigations and recovery.
 
1.   The LAPD is required by Federal law to take the reports no matter WHO has custody and they are required to immediately enter the reports into the NCIC.  The Missing Children's Assistance Act is VERY clear on this.
 
2.  The delays being created by the stupidity of the PD could prove fatal for these children and mothers ever being reunited.  These kids have not been flagged by the State Department, Interpol or brought to the attention of ICE.
 
3.  California law regarding Criminal Interference with Custody does not differentiate between the parents when an abduction occurs.  The concealing parent will be charged with a felony no matter what the custody arrangement is, indeed even if there isn't one in place. 
 
4.  Someone needs to apprise Lt Mossler of the law ASAP before these boys are permanently missing. 
 
By the way, Canada is extremely cooperative in locating and recovering American children brought there illegally.  However, these men already have a month's head start and it appears that no one is doing their job in LA County......as usual.
