MSNBC - Teen learns of his alleged abduction on Internet tells the story of a young man who found out his mother kidnapped him as a three year old and went on the lam. His father was granted legal custody in Canada during the divorce proceedings. I love the following quote which ends the Associated Press story:

They were taking her child away and she did what she had to do, Melissa Goudreault, her sister-in-law, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday from her home in Rd Deer, Alberta. The family is behind her and is trying to raise money for her legal defense.

I have to wonder if they realize that this defense has been tried millions of times in the past years. Over and over and over again it has failed to work. Of course, that was always men using the excuse. Thus the great double standard in equal rights. This will be an interesting case to watch.
