International child abudction can not only have remedies in criminal law but also in civil law through the family courts.

​

If you suspect that your child is at risk of being abducted, you may need to take emergency preventative measures such as obtaining a "port alert" through the police or a Court Order known as a "Prohibited Steps Order".

​

Alternatively, you may need to take urgent steps to locate a child and/or seek the return of a child to or from the jurisdiction of England & Wales.
