    this is horrible and it's against the will of the children but it's not kidnapping as defined by the law.

      I wrote another comment but deleted it.

      Actually, I guess you are right, since it becomes "legal" once the parents have signed the child's rights away to a 3rd party.

      It's a real shame that signing away your child's rights, without them present in a court of law, is not illegal.

        i agree this should absolutely be illegal. especially at the age of these children who are usually teenagers and should have some rights.
