Child Abduction Recovery International CARI - Information Page

Even after dealing with international child kidnapping cases for 25 yrs across every continent, I still get goose bumps when we reunite children.

Cases are extremely complex (like you wouldn’t believe), can take a long time to find a child (one thing we never give clients… a time frame) & requires meticulous planning for a safe rescue & extraction. Parents getting the wrong advice, scammed, inexperienced lawyers, getting media involved before child is returned, next to no help from their governments, embassies or law enforcement …. all add up to a massive amount of stress & can turn a parent as I’ve seen, suicidal or turn to alcohol & drugs.

Add to this dealing with up to 10 cases, across different countries at the same time & every client wanting their child found & returned yesterday, puts a lot of pressure & responsibility on our team & families who we are away from for long periods of time helping our clients.

One of our teams biggest hurdles is our clients. Many different personalities… some listen to everything we say, others (men) watch too many Rambo movies or think they know everything after speaking to a Facebook group made of other parents. Clients have no issues hiding facts or secrets in order for our team to help, regardless of consequences we could face, so our vetting process is extremely important.

Clients can also turn on you if they don’t get their way or we don’t do things their way. A whirlpool for disaster & after so many years experience, the exact client we now avoid. We now choose our clients, clients don’t choose us.

Unfortunately, even as late as last week, parents are still being scammed by a known small gang pretending to help kids, only to come to us after expecting us to fix the mess.

As a father of 4, I feel the pain parents go through when their kids disappear often for years, & with a system designed not to help, they are left on their own to help their children.

Welcome to my world & the pandemic of International kidnappings.

We can confirm that a 7-year-old girl who was abducted by her non-custodial father and uncle in 2021 has been located and safely rescued from an Eastern Ukraine village.

This rescue has been in the works behind the scenes since March 2024. Due to the dangers and security concerns our 3 man team lead by our CEO has worked with locals officially and unofficially to provide a safe and successful recovery.

There were significant safety concerns surrounding her during the ongoing conflict, as she frequently remained unsupervised for up to two days at a time.

We express our gratitude to those who provided both intelligence and support. Our utilization of the latest tracking technology significantly enhances our capabilities in conducting child rescue operations.

Our client requests to remain anonymous for hers and her family’s safety.

Very strong possibility it’s the father in another parental abduction. Police rarely put out to the public that it is a parental abduction.

Queensland Police are seeking urgent public assistance to help find an eight-year-old girl taken from a facility at Maroochydore today, who they say “may be at significant risk”.

A man known to the girl was seen taking her from a facility on Beach Rd about 10.45am, after putting her in a car and driving away. The girl is described as having sandy blonde hair and was wearing black and white checkered shorts, a navy blue shirt and white sandals (pictured). The man, in his 40s, is described as being caucasian, shaved head, slim build, and wearing a dark shirt, black slides and boardshorts.

The vehicle is described as being a dark blue Toyota Hilux with a silver tray with the Queensland registration 156VBO. They are believed to be in the Sunshine Coast area.

Ring 131 564 to provide information about this incident, 000 for life threatening information about this incident.

A good article from the parents, but same excuses year after year by the FCO and all the other organisations in this article covering their asses. None of these fathers will have their children returned from Poland via The Hague Convention. FACT!

Fathers of children unlawfully taken from the UK to Poland face a wall of silence and spiralling legal costs

When your Ukraine lawyer tells you The Hague Convention is a load of garbage, there’s no way you’ll win in the Ukraine court as a foreign man or get a order enforced, and to contact CARI, you have a good lawyer.
