Stepfather Faces Kidnapping Charges Stemming From Picking His Stepchild Up from School for Starters

When there’s a custody dispute, usually it’s between the parents of the child.

But not always. Sometimes its the grandparents who are battling with one of the parents.

And there are still more possibilities – in fact. Probably very long shots under the law.

A California stepfather grasped at one of those possibilities as his marriage was breaking up.

The man picked his stepson up from school.

The man’s car was spotted almost immediately by a retired Department of Justice officer.

With the California Highway Patrol in pursuit, the man stopped his flight.

The man was arrested on kidnapping charges for taking off with his stepson.
