What is child abduction?

Child abduction is when a person takes or sends a child out of the UK without the permission of those with parental responsibility or the permission from the court. If a person has a residence order for a child they will not be acting unlawfully if the child is taken or sent out of the UK for less than 4 weeks without the appropriate consent.
