What can i do if my child was taken to another country without my permission?

Since we are near the border, it is very common for a family member or an acquaintance to take our children to the neighbor country for a few days or hours with our permission. However, when they take the children without permission from their legal tutor, then we have an offense of International Child Abduction.

In order to return the child to his/her country of origin (in this case Mexico), you need to initiate the process at Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE).

SRE has a department specialized in this kind of affairs, working together with the government of the country where the child was taken to, in order to open an investigation and eventually order the return of the minor to his/her country of origin.
