by Bill Murray
June 19, 2013

It was a distinct pleasure to welcome Peter Thomas Senese, bi-coastal (NYC-LA) Best-Selling Author and I CARE Foundation Founding Director, to our "Stop Child Abuse Now" talk show recently.

Peter spoke openly about how the experiences he had with his own son led to the activism in which he's now so fully engaged.

The self-funded not-for-profit I CARE Foundation is dedicated to preventing International Child Abduction. Of special note is the just released Universal International Travel Child Consent Form, a world-wide game changer.

NAASCA is delighted to be able to recommend such an important resource and to partner with Peter and the I CARE Foundation in any way we can to help prevent International Child Abduction.

Here's the direct link to the on-demand version of Peter's appearance as a special guest on our talk show:

The I CARE Foundation Is Dedicated To Stopping International Parental Child Abduction

International Travel Child Consent Forms, Agreements, and International Child Abduction Prevention


by Peter Thomas Senese

Parents involved in nasty child custody disputes, especially international child custody disputes and related travel to a child, and who are concerned about allowing the other parent to take their child to a foreign country during child custody litigation better think carefully about allowing a child to travel abroad. 

International parental child abduction associated with child custody disputes and litigation related to travel permission granted by a court is commonplace.  In reality, if a parent wants to abduct a child and not return them, they have a good chance of succeeding and not returning with the child.

Often, parents involved in international child custody disputes and who may be targeted for abduction think that their child is best protected from abduction when there is a court agreement in place for the child to return if the other parent is granted travel.

I speak from personal travel when I tell you that unless their is an international travel child consent form that has immediate ramifications attached to it, then a parent and child targeted for abduction are in serious risk. Abduction is not in the best interest of a child.

Often the best agreements do not work because they do not take into consideration a wide range of abduction-related defenses a taking parent may use. This is true despite the best intent of lawyers and judges trying to come up with a smart solution during child custody litigation.

Unfortunately, there are many times when a targeted parent consents to travel with their spouse or partner - not knowing that they are a target of abduction. 

They are tricked.

Remember, fraud, schemes, and conspiracy to fraud and kidnap a child are commonplace in international parental child abduction.

In essence, they travel with the child and other parent to another country. Once abroad, the other parent puts into action a plan to permanantly remove the child from the other parents life. Often the best efforts of a targeted parent fail.

International parental child abduction is complicated.

The Hague Convention offers civil remedies for children and parents of abduction. However, the process can be difficult at times and often does not work due to the complexities of law and the limited support a targeted parent may recieve litigating their case to reunite with their child.

The best way to prevent abduction is to stop international parental child abduction. 

The I CARE Foundation has created a unique International Travel Child Consent Form intended to assist ensure the child's return home should their be an abduction.

With a significant number of international child abductions that will occur this summer based upon wrongful detention of a child abroad, the I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Consent Form may be one of the best tools available to assist parents and children at risk of abduction.

The travel consent form for the child must be signed and notarized by both parents.

Please visit the I CARE Foundation website to download a free copy of the International Travel Child Consent Form.

Parents involved in child custody disputes, separation or divorce must be proactive in protecting their children.  Being proactive is the best way to protect your child.

Kind regards to all,
