Author, Ken Connelly talks about his Parental Child Abduction-Kidapping case. Part 1 of 3

Ken Connelly is the author of Throwing Stones; parental child abduction through the eyes of a child. This is one of the first cases in United States history to result in a felony conviction for Parental Child Abduction or Parental Kidnapping. Mr. Connelly discusses parental kidnapping and child abduction from the child's perspective. Often as parents and professionals we overlook the child's feelings while making our case as an adult and parent over pre and post abduction. Unlike "stranger' abduction, Parental Kidnapping destroys a child's basic trust foundation; the family. Ken further shows how Parental Child Abduction/Kidnapping leads to a Parental Alienation Syndrome. This syndrome mimics Stockholm Syndrome in many ways. Many parents who have abducted their children rely on misleading arguments against Parental Alienation Syndrome and that the child is unaware, or settled in their new enviroment; this is absolutley false. For the first time a victim of this crime has come foward to speak out on this CRIME. Mr. Connelly was kidanapped at the age of seven and recovered at the age of eleven. Throwing Stones is the first book written from this unique point of view. Regardless of domestic or international parental child abduction, this video will help the viewer understand the confusion and mistrust a child experiences during this type of crime. Mr. Connelly was kidnapped on October 10, 1980 in Orange, California, and recovered on December 5, 1983 in Bastrop, Texas.
