1 Sec. 10-5. Child abduction.
2 (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have
3the following meanings:
4 (1) "Child" means a person who, at the time the alleged
5 violation occurred, was under the age of 18 or was a person
6 with a severe or profound intellectual disability.
7 (2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical
8 custody of a child, whether or not the child resists or
9 objects.
10 (2.1) "Express consent" means oral or written
11 permission that is positive, direct, and unequivocal,
12 requiring no inference or implication to supply its
13 meaning.
14 (2.2) "Luring" means any knowing act to solicit,
15 entice, tempt, or attempt to attract the minor.
16 (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons
17 granted legal custody of a child or entitled to physical
18 possession of a child pursuant to a court order. It is
19 presumed that, when the parties have never been married to
20 each other, the mother has legal custody of the child
21 unless a valid court order states otherwise. If an
22 adjudication of paternity has been completed and the father
23 has been assigned support obligations or visitation
24 rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of
25 this Section, be considered a valid court order granting
26 custody to the mother.

HB0244- 3 -LRB100 00033 RLC 10034 b
1 (4) "Putative father" means a man who has a reasonable
2 belief that he is the father of a child born of a woman who
3 is not his wife.
4 (5) "Unlawful purpose" means any misdemeanor or felony
5 violation of State law or a similar federal or sister state
6 law or local ordinance.
7 (b) A person commits the offense of child abduction when he
8or she does any one of the following:
9 (1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid court
10 order granting sole or joint custody, care, or possession
11 to another by concealing or detaining the child or removing
12 the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
13 (2) Intentionally violates a court order prohibiting
14 the person from concealing or detaining the child or
15 removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
16 (3) Intentionally conceals, detains, or removes the
17 child without the consent of the mother or lawful custodian
18 of the child if the person is a putative father and either:
19 (A) the paternity of the child has not been legally
20 established or (B) the paternity of the child has been
21 legally established but no orders relating to custody have
22 been entered. Notwithstanding the presumption created by
23 paragraph (3) of subsection (a), however, a mother commits
24 child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes
25 a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of,
26 from an unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing

HB0244- 4 -LRB100 00033 RLC 10034 b
1 care and custody of the child in her absence.
2 (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from a

13 court order of custody, knowingly conceals the child for 15
14 days, and fails to make reasonable attempts within the
15 15-day period to notify the other parent as to the specific
16 whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to
17 contact the child, or to arrange reasonable visitation or
18 contact with the child. It is not a violation of this
19 Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take the
20 child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic
21 violence program.
22 (7) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of
23 the child are or have been married and there has been no
24 court order of custody, knowingly conceals, detains, or
25 removes the child with physical force or threat of physical
26 force.

HB0244- 5 -LRB100 00033 RLC 10034 b
1 (8) Knowingly conceals, detains, or removes the child
2 for payment or promise of payment at the instruction of a
3 person who has no legal right to custody.

12 child's parent or lawful custodian for other than a lawful
13 purpose. For the purposes of this item (10), the trier of
14 fact may infer that luring or attempted luring of a child
15 under the age of 17 into a motor vehicle, building,
16 housetrailer, or dwelling place without the express
17 consent of the child's parent or lawful custodian or with
18 the intent to avoid the express consent of the child's

20 purpose.
21 (11) With the intent to obstruct or prevent efforts to
22 locate the child victim of a child abduction, knowingly
23 destroys, alters, conceals, or disguises physical evidence
24 or furnishes false information.
25 (c) It is an affirmative defense to subsections (b)(1)
26through (b)(10) of this Section that:

HB0244- 6 -LRB100 00033 RLC 10034 b

3 that existed at the time of the alleged violation;
4 (2) the person had physical custody of the child

9 custodian the specific whereabouts of the child and a means
10 by which the child could be contacted or made a reasonable

5Justice, sister state, or foreign government offense is guilty
6of a Class 2 felony. It is a factor in aggravation under
7subsections (b)(1) through (b)(10) of this Section for which a
8court may impose a more severe sentence under Section 5-8-1
9(730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of Chapter V of the Unified
10Code of Corrections if, upon sentencing, the court finds

13 following the concealment, detention, or removal of the

16 inflict physical harm on a parent or lawful custodian of
17 the child or on the child with intent to cause that parent
18 or lawful custodian to discontinue criminal prosecution of
19 the defendant under this Section;
20 (3) that the defendant demanded payment in exchange for
21 return of the child or demanded that he or she be relieved
22 of the financial or legal obligation to support the child
