You see, I subscribe to the Operation Amber mailing list.<br /> That’s pretty amazing to think about, isn’t it? That there are Amber Alerts every single day.  And that’s the issue. And that’s what this rant is about.<br />Perhaps even the average citizen could notice it, but being a former father’s rights attorney, I particularly recognize it.<br />The vast majority..I mean the VAST majority of “abductions” being announced by Amber Alerts aren’t even “abductions” at all.';

What you may think is reasonable, and what your attorney may think is reasonable, is unlikely to match what your ex-spouse thinks is reasonable. This is, by the way, a form of parental kidnapping, technically speaking. Of course, it goes the other way too - if you wilfully fail to return the children at the end of your time, you too are guilty of a form of parental kidnapping.\n\nBut an order for "reasonable visitation" removes all of these protections.  When you go to the Court, or call the police, and say "they weren\'t there", they will say "and where is the authority which says that they had to be there?"  When you point to your "reasonable visitation", they will shrug their shoulders and say "so what does that mean?"';
