# Indeed!
Which is why she was convicted today.
Erm... yesterday now.






I don't think she kidnapped some bloke.

# Well she didn't kidnap her relation, he helped her
kidnap her daughter.

But I was wondering earlier, how can you be charged with kidnapping your own child who you have full custody of?

# Reasonable question
To kidnap someone you must take someone without their consent and without lawful excuse. In nearly all cases of a parent 'kidnapping' their child, parental discretion would be lawful excuse. In this case, it clearly isn't.
