What if my child is abducted by a stranger or someone without custodial rights?

This would be Kidnapping rather than Child Abduction. The law enforcement agency of jurisdiction will pursue the criminal investigation and apprehension of the suspect. The CAU will assist that agency in all ways possible, however, it's primary focus is to locate, seize, and return the taken child(ren) to the Custodian. The CAU will take all legal steps necessary to obtain temporary custody of the stolen child(ren), and deliver them as ordered by the Superior Court.
