Taken in Contempt : When Parents Abduct Their Own Children

A book about when parent abduct their own children. Taken in Contempt is the extraordinary account of Robins family's own loss woven together with the stories of other parents of abducted children. It is full of heartbreak, danger and adventure, yet it is also a record of courage and inner strength, and of the crazy life-threatening risks people take in the name of love.

Left-behind parents, abducting parents and some of the children themselves have contributed to the book; so have the bureaucrats who have implemented the tough decisions; and the retrievers-men who work outside the law, risking all for someone else's children.
