Children, in single parenting homes, that are abducted by one of their parents, struggle with a number of socio-economic and psychological issues. These children are often at high risk of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. The second parent and child are more likely to suffer from poverty, diminishing their chances to access quality education and health services. Research shows that children and adults who’ve suffered from child parental abduction also experience psychological issues and generational trauma as they’re robbed away from half of their identity — sometimes losing an entire culture, language, and the support of extended family from the second parent.
