| 20 | | (720 ILCS 5/10-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 10-5)
| 21 | | Sec. 10-5. Child abduction.
| 22 | | (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have
| 23 | | the following meanings:
| 24 | | (1) "Child" means a person who, at the time the alleged | 25 | | violation occurred, was under the age of 18 or
severely or |
| | | SB1228 Engrossed | - 4 - | LRB097 06225 RLC 46300 b |
|
| 1 | | profoundly mentally retarded.
| 2 | | (2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical | 3 | | custody of a child,
whether or not the child resists or | 4 | | objects.
| 5 | | (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons | 6 | | granted legal custody
of a child or entitled to physical | 7 | | possession of a child pursuant to a
court order. It is | 8 | | presumed that, when the parties have never been
married to | 9 | | each other, the mother has legal custody of the child | 10 | | unless a
valid court order states otherwise. If an | 11 | | adjudication of paternity has
been completed and the father | 12 | | has been assigned support obligations or
visitation | 13 | | rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of | 14 | | this
Section, be considered a valid court order granting | 15 | | custody to the mother.
| 16 | | (4) "Putative father" means a man who has a reasonable | 17 | | belief that he is the father of a child born of a woman who | 18 | | is not his wife. | 19 | | (b) A person commits the offense of child abduction when he | 20 | | or she does any one of the following:
| 21 | | (1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid court | 22 | | order granting
sole or joint custody, care, or possession | 23 | | to another by concealing or
detaining the child or removing | 24 | | the child from the jurisdiction of the
court.
| 25 | | (2) Intentionally violates a court order prohibiting | 26 | | the person from
concealing or detaining the child or |
| | | SB1228 Engrossed | - 5 - | LRB097 06225 RLC 46300 b |
|
| 1 | | removing the child
from the jurisdiction of the court.
| 2 | | (3) Intentionally conceals, detains, or removes the | 3 | | child without the
consent of the mother or lawful custodian | 4 | | of the child if the person is a
putative father and either: | 5 | | (A) the paternity of the child has not been
legally | 6 | | established or (B) the paternity of the child has been | 7 | | legally
established but no orders relating to custody have | 8 | | been entered. Notwithstanding the presumption created by | 9 | | paragraph (3) of subsection (a),
however, a mother commits | 10 | | child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes
| 11 | | a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of, | 12 | | from an
unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing | 13 | | care and custody of the
child in her absence.
| 14 | | (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from a | 15 | | parent after
filing a petition or being served with process | 16 | | in an action affecting
marriage or paternity but prior to | 17 | | the issuance of a temporary or final
order determining | 18 | | custody.
| 19 | | (5) At the expiration of visitation rights outside the | 20 | | State,
intentionally fails or refuses to return or impedes | 21 | | the return of the child
to the lawful custodian in | 22 | | Illinois.
| 23 | | (6) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of | 24 | | that child
are or have been married and there has been no | 25 | | court order of custody,
knowingly conceals the child for 15 | 26 | | days, and fails to make reasonable attempts
within the |
| | | SB1228 Engrossed | - 6 - | LRB097 06225 RLC 46300 b |
|
| 1 | | 15-day period to notify the other parent as to the specific
| 2 | | whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to | 3 | | contact the child,
or to arrange reasonable visitation or | 4 | | contact with the child. It is not a
violation of this | 5 | | Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take
the | 6 | | child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic | 7 | | violence program.
| 8 | | (7) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of | 9 | | the child
are or have been married and there has been no | 10 | | court order of
custody, knowingly conceals, detains, or | 11 | | removes the child with physical force or
threat of physical | 12 | | force.
| 13 | | (8) Knowingly conceals, detains, or removes the child | 14 | | for payment or promise of
payment at the instruction of a | 15 | | person who has no legal right to custody.
| 16 | | (9) Knowingly retains in this State for 30 days a child | 17 | | removed from another state
without the consent of the | 18 | | lawful custodian or in violation of a valid
court order of | 19 | | custody.
| 20 | | (10) Intentionally lures or attempts to lure a child | 21 | | under the age of 16
into a motor vehicle, building, | 22 | | housetrailer, or dwelling place without the
consent of the | 23 | | child's parent or lawful custodian for other than a lawful | 24 | | purpose. For the purposes of this item (10), the luring
or | 25 | | attempted luring of a child under the age of 16 into a | 26 | | motor vehicle,
building, housetrailer, or dwelling place |
| | | SB1228 Engrossed | - 7 - | LRB097 06225 RLC 46300 b |
|
| 1 | | without the consent of the child's parent
or lawful | 2 | | custodian is prima facie evidence of other
than a lawful | 3 | | purpose.
| 4 | | (11) With the intent to obstruct or prevent efforts to | 5 | | locate the child victim of a child abduction, knowingly | 6 | | destroys, alters, conceals, or disguises physical evidence | 7 | | or furnishes false information. | 8 | | (c) It is an affirmative defense to subsections (b)(1) | 9 | | through (b)(10) of this Section that:
| 10 | | (1) the person had custody of the child pursuant to a | 11 | | court order
granting legal custody or visitation rights | 12 | | that existed at the time of
the alleged violation;
| 13 | | (2) the person had physical custody of the child | 14 | | pursuant to a court
order granting legal custody or | 15 | | visitation rights and failed to return the
child as a | 16 | | result of circumstances beyond his or her control, and the
| 17 | | person notified and disclosed to the other parent or legal | 18 | | custodian the
specific whereabouts of the child and a means | 19 | | by which the child could be
contacted or made a reasonable | 20 | | attempt to notify the other parent or lawful
custodian of | 21 | | the child of those circumstances and made the disclosure
| 22 | | within 24 hours after the visitation period had expired and | 23 | | returned the
child as soon as possible;
| 24 | | (3) the person was fleeing an incidence or pattern of | 25 | | domestic violence; or
| 26 | | (4) the person lured or attempted to lure a child under |
| | | SB1228 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB097 06225 RLC 46300 b |
|
| 1 | | the age of 16
into a motor vehicle, building, housetrailer, | 2 | | or dwelling place for a
lawful purpose in prosecutions | 3 | | under paragraph (10) of subsection (b).
| 4 | | (d) Other than a person convicted for a violation of | 5 | | paragraph (10) of subsection (b), a A person convicted of child | 6 | | abduction under this Section is guilty of
a Class 4 felony. A | 7 | | person convicted of a violation of paragraph (10) of subsection | 8 | | (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 3 felony. A person | 9 | | convicted of a second or subsequent violation of
paragraph (10) | 10 | | of subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 2 3
| 11 | | felony. It is a factor in aggravation under subsections (b)(1) | 12 | | through (b)(10) of this Section for which a court
may impose a | 13 | | more severe sentence under Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or | 14 | | Article 4.5 of Chapter V of the Unified Code
of Corrections if, | 15 | | upon sentencing, the court finds evidence of any of the
| 16 | | following aggravating factors:
| 17 | | (1) that the defendant abused or neglected the child | 18 | | following the
concealment, detention, or removal of the | 19 | | child;
| 20 | | (2) that the defendant inflicted or threatened to | 21 | | inflict physical harm
on a parent or lawful custodian of | 22 | | the child or on the child with intent to

of | 24 | | the defendant under this Section;
| 25 | | (3) that the defendant demanded payment in exchange for | 26 | | return of the
child or demanded that he or she be relieved |

|
| 1 | | of the financial or legal
obligation to support the child | 2 | | in exchange for return of the child;
| 3 | | (4) that the defendant has previously been convicted of | 4 | | child abduction;
| 5 | | (5) that the defendant committed the abduction while | 6 | | armed with a deadly
weapon or the taking of the child | 7 | | resulted in serious bodily injury to
another; or
| 8 | | (6) that the defendant committed the abduction while in | 9 | | a school,
