You write where it occurred because you want to change the laws there.Quote:

The Police don't want to get involved because they are busy chasing criminals (or so they tell me) and this is not criminal activity.
I have also seen one parent go so overboard that the Police "favor" the other simply because they are tired of the drama, ranting and raving.

787.01Kidnapping; kidnapping of child under age 13, aggravating circumstances.
—
(1)(a)The term “kidnapping” means forcibly, secretly, or by threat confining, abducting, or imprisoning another person against her or his will and without lawful authority, with intent to:
...
3.Inflict bodily harm upon or to terrorize the victim or another person.
...
(b)Confinement of a child under the age of 13 is against her or his will within the meaning of this subsection if such confinement is without the consent of her or his parent or legal guardian.
- it wasn't "forcibly, secretly, or by threat";
- she wasn't confined, abducted, or imprisoned. Like it or not, he is her parent, so "confinement" doesn't apply under this statute.
- You haven't shown intent to terrorize either her or you.
744.301Natural guardians.Quote:

If the marriage between the parents is dissolved, the natural guardianship belongs to the parent to whom custody of the child is awarded. If the parents are given joint custody, then both continue as natural guardians. If the marriage is dissolved and neither the father nor the mother is given custody of the child, neither shall act as natural guardian of the child. The mother of a child born out of wedlock is the natural guardian of the child and is entitled to primary residential care and custody of the child unless a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order stating otherwise.
He had not been ajudicated the father yet, that came later in the case.
She WAS confined against her will. The day I located him and went to the home and asked for her, she came running to the door screaming "mommy" and he hauled her off to a room in the back and closed the door. Also, as her only natural guardian "her will" is bestowed upon me. It is MY consent that is required. Also it was "forcibly, secretly, or by threat". I had to use a PI to locate him because he was using a fake (other than where he was living) address to the courts for his custody papers in the filing of them. I did show the intent to terrorize... everyday for 10 days I called and begged him to allow her to come home. I told him he is hurting her and breaking the law. He did not even allow her to speak to me. He told me she "was gator meat" and I "will never see her again" as well as told me that "they may have found Caley Anthony's body but they wont find hers" and told me "hows that feel? ya like that? knowing you'll never see her again?" That in its self is terrorizing enough. And again, at this point he was not legally her parent... that's what DCF was trying to explain to the police, showing them my documentation, her passport, her birth certificate, the court orders, all of that proved he had no guardianship or custody at that point and still has none.Quote:
