If your child has been abducted, the Centre can offer information and advice about international child abduction. We can provide guidance and, if necessary, refer you to a lawyer or other organisation or institution.

Besides this you can contact the police. Whether or not you make a formal report or just let the police know that the child is missing depends on the situation itself. You can also contact the Dutch Central Authority. You can submit a request for return to them.

Contact the Centre to discuss your situation and to see which steps you can take.
