We work discreetly, efficiently, and with a deep understanding of the emotional and legal challenges involved.
Ensuring that every resource, connection, and strategy is aimed at one goal: bringing your child home.

If your child has been taken or kept abroad, don’t wait, time is critical, you need action — not delay.

Important!

We strongly discourage taking matters into your own hands. The measures could be illegal and may delay your child’s return. Attempts to re-abduct your child(ren) violently from any country may:

  • Endanger you, your child(ren), and others;
  • Prejudice any future judicial efforts you might wish to make in the abducted-to state;
  • Even result in arrest and imprisonment for many years of you and your accomplices.

There is no guarantee that the chain of violent abductions would end with the one committed by you. A parent who has violently re-abducted a child may be forced to live in permanent fear, constantly concealing their whereabouts.

If you are contemplating such desperate measures, consider the emotional trauma inflicted on a child who is a victim of violent abduction and violent re-abduction. We discourage such actions not only because they are illegal, but also because of possible psychological harm to the child.

We do not use illegal methods; we intervene in another way. Our method of work is strategically un-orthodox, yet fully legal and safe, with the assistance of our strong global network. Your case needs to be continuously coached, monitored, and pushed forward by our organization.
