Also try the FBI, which sometimes investigates interstate kidnapping cases.

You may need a lawyer in the state the child is in to represent you in juvenile court. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

First attempt to retain an attorney to represent you at the hearings. Check with the social worker about court appointed attorney to represent you if you cannot afford to hire an attorney. If all else fails contact the social worker and explain the circumstances of your child being taken from you and hidden by the father and his family. Follow this up with a written statement of the circumstances. Be sure to emphasize the fact that you want your son back and that you will not allow father to have contact with the child lacking a cout order. Do not hesitate, your immediate response is necessary to reduce the possibility of losing your child to the department of social services.
Obtaining a California court order giving you custody of your son may also be helpful.
