Kids Cross Borders Without Permission

Kids crossing borders without proper paperwork are skyrocketing—up 35% last year with 270 cases, mostly moms taking kids aged 6 to 12 to places like Poland, Spain, and Syria. Many parents don’t realize they need the other parent’s consent—or that it’s illegal. Poland remains top, but Spain and Syria are new in the top five, often linked to breakups or returning home. In Syria, dads usually pull the trigger without mom’s permission—flipping the usual trend. Experts say every case is too many, causing deep, lasting harm, and urge better communication, mediation, and awareness to prevent these heartbreaking situations.
