They can if he/ she shares custody of the child and takes him out of state, country without permission.
I still dont get why they ran to cambodia.

What happens if the father is not named on the birth certificate? The mother says that is the case here.

When my ex took my children I wish she had run off to Cambodia. Would have been much quicker, easier and cheaper to reach (the same) conclusion.

She says on facebook that she decided to move to Thailand with the kid, and he agreed with this and even paid for the tickets. She says (alleges) that he came to visit in Thailand and beat her unconscious in front of the kid.Then she decided to move to Cambodia.

Hang onm, in the OP you claimed he was YOUR ex partner. Now it is someone else?
So you are just relaying 1 side of a custody dispute as fact?
You should butt out and leave it for the courts where both parties can answer their disputes.

That was my mistake. I was careless with the original post. I copied and pasted her post from facebook. Yes, I am just relaying one side of a custody dispute. Whether or not I should 'butt out' is a matter of opinion. The mother asked for people to share her post, so I did.

And your stupid enough to jump to conclusions and post pictures of people all over the internet without any care in the world so you can get your narcissistic supply. A class act, if ever I saw one...

Why do people assume just because it is on FB it is 100% true?
Plus ur only hearing one side of the situation.

I refuse to get fully into FB. Just look at the for sale stuff but you'll still get odd comments like "Overpriced. Do you think it's worth $300k!" Or "Fake!" usually from Expats.

I looked into the SHV expats page but it made me cry so I left.

It's an evil app that brings the worse out in people.

Wow, quite a writeup by Erin Handley in the Phnom Penh Post about this today:

"When 8-year-old James Costigan was taken, he kicked until his shoes came off.

His older half-sister, Mira, was clinging to his waist, so they took her too.

Last Wednesday, in the Cambodian coastal town of Sihanoukville, a group of Christian vigilantes, who claim to be former Central Intelligence Agency and United States military forces, stopped their car, blocking Mira and James’ path.

The way Mira, 17, tells it, two men emerged from the car, along with James’ father. She tried to get her brother away on her scooter, but when they stopped her, she wrapped her arms around him tight.

The siblings were bundled into the car and driven to Phnom Penh, several hours away from their mother, Rochelle Costigan.

A custody dispute originating in the United States between Costigan and the father of her son, Nicholas Kanieff, had abruptly arrived in Cambodia...
"
