LRB9001797RCks 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 HB0379 Enrolled -5- LRB9001797RCks 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 9 while in a school, regardless of the time of day or time 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.

In addition to any sentence imposed, 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 32 police report of any bona fide allegation and the disposition 33 of such investigation. Every police report completed 34 pursuant to this Section shall be compiled and recorded HB0379 Enrolled -6- LRB9001797RCks 1 within the meaning of Section 5.1 of "An Act in relation to 2 criminal identification and investigation", approved July 2, 3 1931, as now or hereafter amended. 4 (h) Whenever a law enforcement officer has reasons to 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 8 him. 9 (i) If during the course of an investigation under this 10 Section the child is found in the physical custody of the 11 defendant or another, the law enforcement officer shall 12 return the child to the parent or lawful custodian from whom 13 the child was concealed, detained or removed, unless there is 14 good cause for the law enforcement officer or the Department 15 of Children and Family Services to retain temporary 16 protective custody of the child pursuant to the Abused and 17 Neglected Child Reporting Act, as now or hereafter amended. 18 (Source: P.A. 85-1440; 86-312.) 19 Section 5.
