Parental or relative abduction has become a worldwide crisis. International, Federal and State laws mandate the role of law enforcement in such matters, but such agencies have limited ability, time or funds to pursue a single case, to resolution.
According to the United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention, more than 200,000 children are parentally abducted every year in the United States, That’s more than 3,846 per week, 550 per day or 23 per hour, by a non-custodial parent or other family member. Fifty-four percent are gone without a trace for more than a week. We work with the local law enforcement agencies in the state or country involved. IFRS Group investigators are fully qualified and trained, with previous experience in the military or law enforcement.
There are now several groups, primarily based in the US, that aid the non-custodial parent or relative in crossing state lines, leaving the country and concealing the children. In most cases, the aiding “underground” person or group has never been in contact with the custodial parent and have relied only on what the “Kidnappers” have told them. It is rarely the truth. When a kidnapping or abduction takes place, children are forced to adapt to the lifestyle of a fugitive; a process that may scar them permanently. Equalizer Private Investigations offers rapid response to any incoming tips. It is an unfortunate truth that law enforcement agencies cannot devote the manpower and other resources to provide a rapid response to information derived
From various sources, including poster respondents. Sometimes authorities in other countries do not respond to tips or other information as quickly as desired or needed, due to matters of a ‘higher’ priority, a lack of manpower or simply, a lack of caring. This time lag can seriously jeopardize a recovery, as it gives the kidnappers more lead time. Equalizer Private Investigations should be contacted immediately.
No children should remain missing or be withheld from a rightful parent or guardian due to a lack of money. Equalizer Private Investigations will work with you, and your budget.
