CHILD ABDUCTION PREVENTION LEGISLATION
oday, the State of Florida has before its legislative branch of government two adjoining bills that will provide the state’s courts and judges with the ability to assess risk factors for a potential parental child abduction. Collectively, this is known as the CHILD ABDUCTION PREVENTION ACT.
Tragically, there are over 370,000 child abductions in the United States alone each year. The majority of these are parental child abductions. Thousands of children are stolen across international borders each year. Too many of them do not come home. They can’t. They are gone forever.
Please show your sign of support for Senator Eleanor Sobel’s bill now before committee (SB1862), and Representative Rouson’s adjoining House of Representative Bill (HR787).
We urge all parents and children who have experienced abduction to share your stories (they will be submitted to the various Senate and House committees) at www.floridachildabductionpreventionact.info
