On April 6, 1997 Vivian was Kidnapped by her non custodial mother for the second time. Vivian is now considered as Endangered Missing because of the mental condition of her abductor and the length of her kidnapping.

Vivian has a birthmark on her left hip, blonde hair, brown eyes, and large dimples when she smiles. She does not like air conditioned rooms because of her allergies.

We are trying to change the laws here in Florida regarding Parental Kidnaping. Around THREE THOUSAND kids were kidnapped by a parent last year in Florida. In Florida One Child is kidnapped by a parent every Three Hours. Please don't let that happen to the children!

This is the basically how the Law will work:

A) Thirty days after the child (ren) is kidnapped the left behind parent can by way of a court order turn over TEMPORARY custody of the missing child (ren) to the local State Attorney

B) The State Attorney then has the Legal obligation to safely and quickly return the child(ren) to the home county where the child (ren) resided

C) Since the left behind parent usually does not have the knowledge or funds to find the child(ren), the State Attorney has both, and the legal experience to bring the child (ren) home. They basically bypass the State Department except for filing papers with them! The State Attorney deals with the State and Justice Departments, not the parent

D) The State reimburses the Local State Attorney's office for expenses such as travel, outside legal counsel, Private Investigators

E) Once the child (ren) is brought back the home county, custody is immediately turned over to the left behind parent, by the previously signed court order

Have you ever seen a state that reports how many chldren are kidnapped by a parent and returned? California is one and has even had a nine-percent decrease in parental kidnappings in the past two years since they made the law even better. Here are some of the sites of the various counties showing that the State Attorney really looks for and brings home the missing children! Sorry here are too many to list them all

Ventura County

Napa County

Los Angeles County

San Bernardino County

The American Bar Association endorses the California Law:

"Title II of the Act establishes an important role for prosecutors and law enforcement in the civil aspects of child custody and parental abduction disputes. Section 1 is modeled upon existing California law."1
