On this episode of the Inside the FBI Podcast—and in honor of National Missing Children’s Day on May 25—we’ll explain when taking a child outside the United States becomes a federal crime, discuss how we support children and the custodial parents and guardians in these situations, and teach you how to report suspected international parental kidnapping to the Bureau.

If you’re a parent or guardian who believes your child has been removed from the country to inhibit your parental rights, you should contact your nearest FBI field office and ask to be connected with their Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.

You can also contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or online at https://tips.fbi.gov. And if you’re located outside of the U.S., you can contact your nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Visit https://www.fbi.gov/internationaloffices for more information.
