Parental Child Abduction
The Sacramento County District Attorney's Parental
Child Abduction Unit enforces custody orders and rights of individuals
who are residents of Sacramento County at the time their custody order
or right is violated.
The District Attorney's dedicated staff of criminal
investigators, investigative assistants and attorneys work to locate
and reunite custodial parents with their children who have been unlawfully
taken and concealed by a non-custodial parent, relative or family friend.
The reunification of the missing child with the
left-behind parent is the ultimate goal of this law enforcement team.
Prosecution of the abductor is considered on a case-by-case basis. Penalties
can range from probation to state prison, as well as restitution.
