"International Abduction

Under customary international law, one state cannot arrest a criminal suspect while he or she is in a foreign state without the permission of that state.

Abstract
The paper discusses how utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) devices can provide security and peace of mind for schools, individual parents and daycare centers. The paper explains how this technology can be used on car seats, bracelets and in the belts of children in order to prevent their disappearance and avoid potential tragedies.
From the Paper
"Everywhere one looks, there are pictures of missing children displayed. They appear on milk cartons, in mailboxes and around town. Whether they have disappeared because they wandered off on their own and got lost, or were grabbed by an abductor with dangerous intentions, the result is the same. They are gone, their families are frantic and law enforcement officials scramble to locate the children before something horrible can happen. It only takes a split second. A mother turns her head to greet a friend, a man steps out of a room for a minute, or a child wanders away without letting parents know he is going to do so, and suddenly the child is gone. It is an unimaginable terror for parents as the television crews arrive. Their worst nightmare starts to come true as detectives ask to see a picture of the missing child."
