Yeah but it's a retarded rule. The other parent can sail the kid into international waters and back without a passport, this prevents nothing. If someone's willing to kidnap a child this does absolutely nothing to stop them, except make sure any international border crossing is done in the most dangerous ways possible.

Additional barriers might not stop all issues, but heavily reduce them.

Do you have evidence this heavily reduces kidnappings? The biggest change I see here is kidnapping that cross borders are now guaranteed to go through uncontrolled crossing rather than ports of entry, endangering these children more than had they been kidnapped with a passport.
