This study, completed in the Spring 2001, was aimed at gaining information on parental child abductors and is intended to aid in prevention. The abductor can either be the biological parent of the abducted child/ren or the spouse/romantic partner of the left-behind parent. The survey and demographic questionnaire were filled out by the left-behind parent. The children may have already been returned or could still be missing.

Theresa Morris, Psy.D., a graduate of John F. Kennedy University, conducted this study.
