Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to proclaim May 25, 2025 as Family Abduction Awareness Day.
Body
Background:
Family abduction occurs when a child is taken, wrongfully retained, or concealed by a parent or other family member, denying another individual their right to custody or visitation, even in cases with unclear or absent court orders. Family Abduction Awareness Day brings attention to the devastating impact of family abductions and the urgent need for stronger enforcement and prevention measures.
