I do not know, how it works in other states, but Germany has an atrocious, pretty much impossible strategy. So first, they must find the child and parents, then, they have to investigate, what the parents have done, and probably, if it is relevant for a prosecution, most revoke parental rights in absentia, and then? Wait till they have a consulate opened again?
Even if it is so usually, I think, that kidnapping a child to a war torn country, joining a terrorist oragnisation, and comitting crimes, is kind of a indication, that the mother should take care of the child.
