I removed this:

In many cases the left behind parent is legally the only victim. This because child custody has noting to do with children’s rights, only parental rights. This is especially the case in which a court in the United States orders a Japanese mother to return her children to the United States, while the courts in Japan rules that she has the legal right to keep the same children in Japan and prevent her children from seeing their American father.

Really comes out of left field, and it does not at all jibe with my understanding of family court philosophy, where the child's interest are always considered paramount. Jess (talk) 16:52, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Someone seems to have reinserted the first part, twice, and expanded it in section "The Law". This section needs a rewrite and sources, and an introduction that clarifies which legal system it refers to.--92.219.8.20 (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Edit Proposal[edit]

According to the Quality and Importance Scales of the WikiProject Men’s Issues on Wikipedia, this article is categorized as C-Class and High-importance. It’s categories are a little better than the Parental Responsibility article described above, although we believe that Parental Responsibility could be of high importance if evaluated from a growing-issue perspective. As a C-Class article it needs citation to reliable sources, spelling and grammar corrections, adding important information to fill gaps and removing irrelevant information. Specifically, Wikipedia describes that the information would not be enough for a moderately detailed study but we surprisingly found on the talk page a reference to the article being duplicated by an external publication. Although the publication Child abduction in divorce issues is not of world-wide renown, this is an example of how Wikipedia is used every day to create information that may be inaccurate or incomplete and is put out there to misinform people. For this article we could research to improve the information and its quality, add citation to improve the reliable sources and help with the cleanup process too as defined by Wikipedia.

Semi-protected edit request on 28 May 2018[edit]

Please change the Reference No. 1 containing a dead link to NISMART National Family Abduction Report, October 2002 (http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/documents/nismart2_familyabduction.pdf). The new link I propose is https://amyandrose.com/blogs/parenting/nismart-national-family-abduction-report where you can download the report. Ajayporwal2002 (talk) 09:40, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: There is no benefit to the reader to providing a current link to almost twenty-year-old, obsolete data. The most recent version of the NISMART is here and once I can find the correct information in that I will update the body text and the citation.
