^ Sadly, kidnapping charges have huge consequences. They were designed to prevent a "kidnapping" in which a person tries to steal and keep a child. These laws were not designed to punish a parent returning a kid from a Yankees game late.

Aren't most of these kidnappings also intrafamilial? Even if you throw out the "parent returns a kid a bit late from an activity" cases, I think there are many more parents trying to take kids to another state to keep them full time despite a custody agreement otherwise than there are strangers just nabbing kids in parks or what have you.
