Difference between revisions of "Missing Persons and Abductions (4:IX)"

#*A representative of a Canadian Central Authority pursuant to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction; or

#*An agency designated by NCMPUR Operations.

#The requesting agency is responsible for assessing the financial status of the family and determining if transportation should be provided. (For example: whether the requesting parent's financial circumstances would make paying for the child and/or parent's transportation prohibitive).

#Assistance will be limited to child abduction situations, including situations where the child is abducted by parent or legal guardian.

#Assistance will be provided to transport:

#*In the case of older abducted children, home; and

#*In the case of younger children, enable the left behind parent or legal guardian to travel to the jurisdiction where the child is and return home.

#In some cases, it may be appropriate for a person other than the left behind parent or legal guardian to retrieve the child and accompany the child home.

#If the left behind parent is travelling to retrieve the child, the requesting authority must make every reasonable effort to confirm/ensure that the parent will be able to obtain legal physical custody of the child. For example, consideration should be given to whether a return order is pending or under appeal, the child's whereabouts are known, there are legal impediments to the child's removal, etc.

#The requesting agency must ensure that the parent or legal guardian has all the necessary documents in order to retrieve the child. For example: child's birth certificate; custody order; passport and any other necessary travel documents.

#Assistance will not be provided to transport the abductor, even if he or she is the person able to accompany the child home.
