> Are you saying a kid is the property of his family...?

As far as kidnapping or any other kind of forced movement goes, yes basically.




I think you'll find quite a few legal systems currently disagree with that perspective. I'll give you that it's often the traditional perspective, but the children's wellbeing is increasingly the leading priority of related legislation in developed countries, including on issues like forced movement.


That only matters if there is a conflict, and forced movement rarely causes harm.
