This is a gross abuse of the Amber Alert system. It is legally impossible for a parent to kidnap his or her own child, stupid laws notwithstanding. If any parent feels their kid is in danger, neglected, &c., it's a solemn duty to remove the child. That it has to be explained to anyone just shows how far we've fallen from free to being ruled.
The state would rather have the child in its own custody to it can collect the big bucks.
Godspeed, Stephen!
Amber alert?
Isn't the kid's name Julian?
Oddly, there was a Julian kid in the movie Big Daddy as well.
Fwiw:
I have no idea what "amber alert" means.

Supposedly, it is a joint custody issue.
dhvincent1 -- the entire legal myth of custody is at the heart of the larger issue, that a court can order custody to one parent at the expense of the other. "Custody" and "visitation" are artificial terms invented by lawyers to suck money out of emotionally-desperate families. The only other area of law using these terms is corrections -- you know, prisoners. Appropriate.
