Jag har hittat ett dokument som Nancy Faulkner presenterat inför United Nations Convention on Child Rights den 9:e juni 1999.
Åldern till trots så är dokumentet lika aktuellt idag som det var då.
Dokumentet är på engelska och jag har länkat både till ett Google översatt och till det originala dokumentet.
Ämnet som Nancy Faulkner tog upp den där dagen i början av juni 1999 var
Påverkan av föräldrar kidnappning av barn.
De föräldrar som begår detta brott inser tyvärr inte den påverkan deras brottsliga handling har på barnet/barnen. Inte för att jag tror att de kommer att ändra sig om de läser detta dokument, men jag tycker att detta dokument är värt att uppmärksammas.
The Impact of Parental Child Abduction
Introduction
”Because of the harmful effects on children, parental kidnapping has been characterized as a form of child abuse” reports Patricia Hoff, Legal Director for the Parental Abduction Training and Dissemination Project, American Bar Association on Children and the Law. Hoff explains,
”Abducted children suffer emotionally and sometimes physically at the hands of abductor-parents. Many children are told the other parent is dead or no longer loves them. Uprooted from family and friends, abducted children often are given new names by their abductor-parents and instructed not to reveal their real names or where they lived before.” (Hoff, 1997)

Impact of Parental Child Abduction
Children who have been psychologically violated and maltreated through the act of abduction, are more likely to exhibit a variety of psychological and social handicaps. These handicaps make them vulnerable to detrimental outside influences (Rand, 1997). Huntington (1982) lists some of the deleterious effects of parental child abduction on the child victim:
- Depression;
- Loss of community;
- Loss of stability, security, and trust;
- Excessive fearfulness, even of ordinary occurrences;
- Loneliness;
- Anger;
- Helplessness;
- Disruption in identity formation; and
- Fear of abandonment.
Many of these untoward effects can be subsumed under the problems relevant to Reactive Attachment Disorder, the diagnostic categories in the following section, and the sections on fear, of abandonment, learned helplessness, and guilt, that follow.
