Kidnapping Defense in Lynnwood

Federal and state law defines kidnapping as the taking of a person from one place to another against their will, or confining a person to a controlled space against their will. Family members, friends, and spouses can all be charged with kidnapping, even if they know the person; in order to be charged for kidnapping the person simply has to be held against their will.

Kidnapping perpetrated by a family member occurs more often than any other type of kidnapping. The Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that 200,000 minors are kidnapped every year by a family member.

An act can be considered kidnapping for legal purposes if the purpose of the act is to:

  • Hold an individual for ransom, reward, or any other act to be performed in order to be released
  • Use an individual as a hostage or shield
  • Interfere with performance of any governmental or political function
  • Facilitate the commission of any felony or flight thereafter
  • Inflict physical injury on a victim or terrorize a victim

Another major area of kidnapping law makes it illegal for a parent without legal custody rights to take a child. State, Federal and International laws protect the rights of parents whose children have been taken unlawfully by a non-custodial parent. If you have been charged with kidnapping, even if you simply took your own child for a short visit, you will need representation from one of our experienced Lynnwood kidnapping attorneys.
