HB0379 Enrolled LRB9001797RCks
1 AN ACT in relation to criminal law.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 2. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by
5 changing Section 10-5 as follows:
6 (720 ILCS 5/10-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 10-5)
7 Sec. 10-5. Child Abduction.
8 (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms
9 shall have the following meanings:
10 (1) "Child" means a person under the age of 18 or
11 an institutionalized severely or profoundly mentally
12 retarded person at the time the alleged violation
13 occurred; and
14 (2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical
15 custody of a child, whether or not the child resists or
16 objects; and
17 (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons
18 granted legal custody of a child or entitled to physical
19 possession of a child pursuant to a court order. It is
20 presumed that, when the parties have never been married
21 to each other, the mother has legal custody of the child
22 unless a valid court order states otherwise. If an
23 adjudication of paternity has been completed and the
24 father has been assigned support obligations or
25 visitation rights, such a paternity order should, for the
26 purposes of this Section be considered a valid court
27 order granting custody to the mother.
28 (b) A person commits child abduction when he or she:
29 (1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid
30 court order granting sole or joint custody, care or
31 possession to another, by concealing or detaining the
HB0379 Enrolled -2- LRB9001797RCks
1 child or removing the child from the jurisdiction of the
2 court; or
3 (2) Intentionally violates a court order
4 prohibiting the person from concealing or detaining the
5 child or removing the child from the jurisdiction of the
6 court; or
7 (3) Intentionally conceals, detains or removes the
8 child without the consent of the mother or lawful
9 custodian of the child if the person is a putative father
10 and either: (A) the paternity of the child has not been
11 legally established or (B) the paternity of the child has
12 been legally established but no orders relating to
13 custody have been entered. However, notwithstanding the
14 presumption created by paragraph (3) of subsection (a), a
15 mother commits child abduction when she intentionally
16 conceals or removes a child, whom she has abandoned or
17 relinquished custody of, from an unadjudicated father who
18 has provided sole ongoing care and custody of the child
19 in her absence; or
20 (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child
21 from a parent after filing a petition or being served
22 with process in an action affecting marriage or paternity
23 but prior to the issuance of a temporary or final order
24 determining custody; or
25 (5) At the expiration of visitation rights outside
26 the State, intentionally fails or refuses to return or
27 impedes the return of the child to the lawful custodian
28 in Illinois; or
29 (6) Being a parent of the child, and where the
30 parents of such child are or have been married and there
31 has been no court order of custody, conceals the child
32 for 15 days, and fails to make reasonable attempts within
33 the 15 day period to notify the other parent as to the
34 specific whereabouts of the child, including a means by
HB0379 Enrolled -3- LRB9001797RCks
1 which to contact such child, or to arrange reasonable
2 visitation or contact with the child. It is not a
3 violation of this Section for a person fleeing domestic
4 violence to take the child with him or her to housing
5 provided by a domestic violence program; or
6 (7) Being a parent of the child, and where the
7 parents of the child are or have been married and there
8 has been no court order of custody, conceals, detains, or
9 removes the child with physical force or threat of
10 physical force; or
11 (8) Conceals, detains, or removes the child for
12 payment or promise of payment at the instruction of a
13 person who has no legal right to custody; or
14 (9) Retains in this State for 30 days a child
15 removed from another state without the consent of the
16 lawful custodian or in violation of a valid court order
17 of custody; or
18 (10) Intentionally lures or attempts to lure a
19 child under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building,
20 housetrailer, or dwelling place without the consent of
21 the parent or lawful custodian of the child for other
22 than a lawful purpose.
23 For the purposes of this subsection (b), paragraph (10),
24 the luring or attempted luring of a child under the age of 16
25 into a motor vehicle, building, housetrailer, or dwelling
26 place without the consent of the parent or lawful custodian
27 of the child shall be prima facie evidence of other than a
28 lawful purpose.
29 (c) It shall be an affirmative defense that:
30 (1) The person had custody of the child pursuant to
31 a court order granting legal custody or visitation rights
32 which existed at the time of the alleged violation; or
33 (2) The person had physical custody of the child
34 pursuant to a court order granting legal custody or
HB0379 Enrolled -4- LRB9001797RCks
1 visitation rights and failed to return the child as a
2 result of circumstances beyond his or her control, and
3 the person notified and disclosed to the other parent or
4 legal custodian the specific whereabouts of the child and
5 a means by which such child can be contacted or made a
6 reasonable attempt to notify the other parent or lawful
7 custodian of the child of such circumstances and make
8 such disclosure within 24 hours after the visitation
9 period had expired and returned the child as soon as
10 possible; or
11 (3) The person was fleeing an incidence or pattern
12 of domestic violence; or
13 (4) The person lured or attempted to lure a child
14 under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building,
15 housetrailer, or dwelling place for a lawful purpose in
16 prosecutions under subsection (b), paragraph (10).
17 (d) A person convicted of child abduction under this
18 Section is guilty of a Class 4 felony. A person convicted of
19 a second or subsequent violation of paragraph (10) of
20 subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 3 felony.
21 It shall be a factor in aggravation for which a court may
22 impose a more severe sentence under Section 5-8-1 of the
23 Unified Code of Corrections, if upon sentencing the court
24 finds evidence of any of the following aggravating factors:
25 (1) that the defendant abused or neglected the
26 child following the concealment, detention or removal of
27 the child; or
28 (2) that the defendant inflicted or threatened to
29 inflict physical harm on a parent or lawful custodian of
30 the child or on the child with intent to cause such
31 parent or lawful custodian to discontinue criminal
32 prosecution of the defendant under this Section; or
33 (3) that the defendant demanded payment in exchange
34 for return of the child or demanded that he or she be

1 relieved of the financial or legal obligation to support
2 the child in exchange for return of the child; or
3 (4) that the defendant has previously been
4 convicted of child abduction; or
5 (5) that the defendant committed the abduction
6 while armed with a deadly weapon or the taking of the
7 child resulted in serious bodily injury to another; or .
8 (6) that the defendant committed the abduction

10 of year; in a playground; on any conveyance owned,
11 leased, or contracted by a school to transport students
12 to or from school or a school related activity; on the
13 real property of a school; or on a public way within
14 1,000 feet of the real property comprising any school or
15 playground. For purposes of this paragraph (6),
16 "playground" means a piece of land owned or controlled by
17 a unit of local government that is designated by the unit
18 of local government for use solely or primarily for
19 children's recreation; and "school" means a public or
20 private elementary or secondary school, community
21 college, college, or university.
22 (e) The court may order the child to be returned to the

25 the court may assess any reasonable expense incurred in
26 searching for or returning the child against any person
27 convicted of violating this Section.
28 (f) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed
29 to limit the court's contempt power.
30 (g) Every law enforcement officer investigating an
31 alleged incident of child abduction shall make a written

5 believe a child abduction has occurred, he shall provide the
6 lawful custodian a summary of her or his rights under this
7 Act, including the procedures and relief available to her or
