Ever notice how many missing child posters and Amber alerts
are because a family member took the kid?
Most.
Ever wonder WHY, they chose to became a wanted criminal?
We are supposed to picture the violent, abusive man who may
molest the kids.
How many "abductions" are desperate rescues.
Here (most places?) support is high $$.
The woman is automatically given custody, if contested.
I have seen desperate men fight for years to get their kids
away from addicted, negligent mothers.
As for Texas?
No surprise, that could happen aanywhere.
There isnt a state that isnt infiltrated, except perhaps
Utah. Which is it's own unique situation.
