Have you been accused of kidnapping your own child? You need a skilled attorney.

In California, kidnapping is an aggravated form of false imprisonment. It usually involves the transportation or concealment of another person. Charges may include the kidnapping of a child, kidnapping for ransom, or kidnapping in furtherance of another crime (such as sexual assault of the kidnap victim or persuading the victim to commit a felony).

Kidnapping is not always committed by a stranger taking a child. Parents violating custody and visitation arrangements can be arrested for kidnapping. It doesn't matter which parent has legal custody. If either parent conceals the child with the intent of depriving the other parent of custody or visitation, the concealing parent can be prosecuted for kidnapping.

A parent charged with kidnapping their own child can be prosecuted for a misdemeanor or a felony. The child could be placed in protective custody by a police officer if the officer concludes that the parent might flee the jurisdiction with the child.
