Christmas Season: The International Travel Child Consent Form Created To Prevent Child Abduction

The I CARE Foundation is sending out an early Fall warning to parents around the world that the Christmas Holiday Season is the second most significant time of year when thousands of children around the world are targeted for international parental child abduction.


The planning for abduction by a parent intending to wrongfully retain a child abroad is occurring now ... several months prior to a planned trip.  So parents need to beware of the warning signs of abduction.


There are not enough words that I can express to urge all parents to utilize the I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Consent Form for all children traveling abroad as this new groundbreaking tool is the best abduction prevention tool a parent will have when dealing with matters of possible abduction abroad.

Remember, now is the time when parents scheming to abduct a child abroad set their plan in motion.  Sadly, many of these schemes will include having the targeted parent travel with the abducting parent to the abducting parent's country of origin. Once there, they will create a terrible scheme that may very well include lies that will cause local law enforcement to detain you. And while you are detained abroad, that abducting parent will seek jurisdiction of the child in the country you all traveled to, citing danger to both their and the child's welfare. This tactic is very common - don't think it can happen to you.

This is what the Secretary General of the Hague Convention said about the I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Consent Form:                          

"I have had the possibility to look at the travel form and must say that I am impressed: this is the most comprehensive document of its kind that I have seen so far and there is little doubt in my mind that this is a most valuable and important effort to prevent child abduction. I applaud your efforts and wish to congratulate you and your team . . . It is really impressive to see how quickly your international travel child consent form has started to yield practical results and how well you monitor its operation - this really is remarkable."
