i can tell you i don’t think there’s
00:06
anything more complicated and
00:09
for lack of a better way to say it more
00:11
heart-wrenching
00:12
than a parental kidnapping case
00:15
when you have a child who’s
00:18
been illegally
00:19
abducted
00:21
and your client doesn’t have any idea
00:23
where their child is if their child’s
00:26
well or not
00:27
there’s a myriad of complex mechanisms
00:30
you have to go through first of all you
00:32
got to be able to find them you have to
00:34
have appropriate court orders here in
00:37
texas
00:38
and then once you find them you have to
00:40
coordinate
00:42
with whatever jurisdiction they have
00:44
taken the child to you’ve got to find
00:46
council in that state
00:48
and then you’ve got to have the council
00:50
in that state get it in front of a judge
00:53
in that state to enforce the texas order
00:56
and it’s very complex very
00:58
heart-wrenching
00:59
very urgent
01:01
there are some things that
01:03
i have learned about these cases over
01:06
time that are
01:09
very helpful for instance in a child
01:13
abduction case there’s usually somebody
01:15
out there
01:17
assisting
01:18
the person who’s abducted the child a
01:20
family member somebody like that
01:23
so you can start predicting where they
01:25
might have landed
01:27
if you know those kinds of things and
01:30
there are a couple of tricks
01:32
that we’ve learned over time that i’m
01:34
not going to say on
01:35
on this
01:36
answer because i want to keep them close
01:38
to my chest the last abduction we had we
01:42
had the child back within three weeks
