1    (720 ILCS 5/10-5)  (from Ch. 38, par. 10-5)
2    Sec. 10-5. Child abduction.
3    (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have
4the following meanings:
5        (1) "Child" means a person who, at the time the alleged
6    violation occurred, was under the age of 18 or severely or
7    profoundly mentally retarded.
8        (2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical
9    custody of a child, whether or not the child resists or
10    objects.
11        (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons
12    granted legal custody of a child or entitled to physical
13    possession of a child pursuant to a court order. It is
14    presumed that, when the parties have never been married to
15    each other, the mother has legal custody of the child
16    unless a valid court order states otherwise. If an
17    adjudication of paternity has been completed and the father
18    has been assigned support obligations or visitation
19    rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of
20    this Section, be considered a valid court order granting
21    custody to the mother.
22        (4) "Putative father" means a man who has a reasonable
23    belief that he is the father of a child born of a woman who
24    is not his wife.
25    (b) A person commits the offense of child abduction when he

 

 

09700SB1228sam001- 5 -LRB097 06225 RLC 53049 a

1or she does any one of the following:
2        (1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid court
3    order granting sole or joint custody, care, or possession
4    to another by concealing or detaining the child or removing
5    the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
6        (2) Intentionally violates a court order prohibiting
7    the person from concealing or detaining the child or
8    removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
9        (3) Intentionally conceals, detains, or removes the
10    child without the consent of the mother or lawful custodian
11    of the child if the person is a putative father and either:
12    (A) the paternity of the child has not been legally
13    established or (B) the paternity of the child has been
14    legally established but no orders relating to custody have
15    been entered. Notwithstanding the presumption created by
16    paragraph (3) of subsection (a), however, a mother commits
17    child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes
18    a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of,
19    from an unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing
20    care and custody of the child in her absence.
21        (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from a
22    parent after filing a petition or being served with process
23    in an action affecting marriage or paternity but prior to
24    the issuance of a temporary or final order determining
25    custody.
26        (5) At the expiration of visitation rights outside the

2    the return of the child to the lawful custodian in
3    Illinois.

5    that child are or have been married and there has been no
6    court order of custody, knowingly conceals the child for 15
7    days, and fails to make reasonable attempts within the
8    15-day period to notify the other parent as to the specific
9    whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to
10    contact the child, or to arrange reasonable visitation or
11    contact with the child. It is not a violation of this
12    Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take the
13    child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic
14    violence program.
15        (7) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of
16    the child are or have been married and there has been no
17    court order of custody, knowingly conceals, detains, or
18    removes the child with physical force or threat of physical
19    force.
20        (8) Knowingly conceals, detains, or removes the child
21    for payment or promise of payment at the instruction of a
22    person who has no legal right to custody.
23        (9) Knowingly retains in this State for 30 days a child
24    removed from another state without the consent of the

6    attempted luring of a child under the age of 16 into a

10    purpose.
11        (11) With the intent to obstruct or prevent efforts to
12    locate the child victim of a child abduction, knowingly
13    destroys, alters, conceals, or disguises physical evidence
14    or furnishes false information.
15    (c) It is an affirmative defense to subsections (b)(1)
16through (b)(10) of this Section that:
17        (1) the person had custody of the child pursuant to a
18    court order granting legal custody or visitation rights
19    that existed at the time of the alleged violation;
20        (2) the person had physical custody of the child
21    pursuant to a court order granting legal custody or
22    visitation rights and failed to return the child as a

16convicted of a second or subsequent violation of paragraph (10)
17of subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 2 3
18felony. It is a factor in aggravation under subsections (b)(1)
19through (b)(10) of this Section for which a court may impose a
20more severe sentence under Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or
21Article 4.5 of Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections if,
