Mission Statement of Stolen Children Network

Mission Statement

The Stolen Children Network provides information and resources for the left-behind parents of American children who have been abducted by a non-American spouse with governmental complicity. In many cases these children have essentially been stolen by a foreign country using the Hague Convention as a weapon. Parental child abduction is a form of child abuse. *

There are many organizations and websites concerned with abducted children. This is understandable because there are between 1,000 and 2,000 parental child abductions every day in the United States of America.

Recognizing that there is a booming child abduction "industry" being perpetrated by European mothers and Arabian fathers, we wish to limit our focus to this particular segment of the rapidly growing problem: international parental abductions of American children by foreign spouses of which there are approximately 2000 per year.

The Stolen Children Network is particularly interested in the left-behind parents of internationally abducted children who have been abducted to or with the assistance of cult-like organizations, who are incest victims, who are abuse victims, who were abducted with misguided help from the US government, or through aid of a foreign government whether intentional or not, and who are Christian children suffering religious persecution by way of the abduction.

Finally, we are interested in cases in which one or both countries have violated The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, The European Convention on Human Rights, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or any other similar international treaties concerning children's rights.
