Parental Abduction & Kidnapping Preparedness and Prevention Checklist
Use this parental abduction prevention and preparedness checklist to help keep yourself in a state of preparedness should your child be the victim of parental abduction. Having everything in order can save previous time and help you to locate your child.
Assemble two sets of the following:
Several recent colour photographs of all children and parents.
Two sets of your children's fingerprints.
A list of any scars or unusual physical characteristics of both parent and child.
A list of all passport numbers, dates of issue, and the countries which issued them.
A list of any drivers license number and the issuing state (including the other parent's, and that of any child who is licensed to drive).
All automobile registrations, serial numbers, makes, models, and descriptions.
A list of all credit cards, bank accounts, and social security numbers.
A list of all the names and numbers of all negotiable instruments, brokerage accounts, and stockbrokers.
A list of all retirement accounts.
A list of any other tangible assets which are easily converted into cash, such as jewelry, collections, and expensive equipment.
The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the other parent's family members and close friends.
In addition, if you have good cause to believe that your child may in fact be improperly taken to another country, you should take the following additional measures:
If your child has dual citizenship, provide a copy of your court order to the embassy of the country which your child may be taken to, and ask them not to issue a passport for your child.
Place any passport your child already has in safekeeping, in a secure place which is outside of your home.
Write to the United States State Department and ask that your children's names be placed on a lookout list, and that you be notified if any attempt to apply for a passport for your child is made. If your child already has a passport, which you have in your possession, explain to the State Department that you have the passport in your possession, and that you should be notified of any attempt to apply for a duplicate passport.
Keep these two sets of items in two different locations, preferably in the homes of trusted friends or family members. Having two full sets of these documents ensures that if one is not available, you will still have access to the other.
A safe deposit box is not a good place to keep these items, as banks are not open after hours and on weekends.
