Parental kidnapping or parental abduction is defined as the concealment, taking, or retention of a child by his parent in violation of the rights of the child's other parent or another family member. Violated rights may include, for example, custody and visitation rights. Sadly, thousands of children are abducted by a parent and removed from the United States annually. Even more children are kidnapped by a parent within the confines of U.S. borders. Parental kidnapping also happens when a child is abducted from a custodial parent abroad and transported into the United States by the non-custodial parent illegally.

More Than Just a Custody Dispute

Make no mistake – parental kidnapping is illegal. Parental kidnapping is far more than a dispute regarding custody matters between divorcing parents. Such matters are relegated to the civil courts; however, parental kidnapping is a criminal act. In fact, parental kidnapping violates the laws of all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands, plus U.S. federal laws and international laws. It is dangerous and can be deadly.
Parentally-abducted children live a life on the run as if fugitives. It is not uncommon to see a child receive a new name, nickname, haircut, dyed hair, glasses, or otherwise altered appearance. Children may be coached not to reveal their true names, birth dates, home states and addresses, and other identifying information. They may move often to avoid detection and recovery. School performance and social relationships suffer materially (that is, if the child is permitted to attend school). Even medical treatment may suffer because of requirements for identifying information involved in the registration for care and insurance claims processing.

Traumatic for Children

Parentally-abducted children are traumatized emotionally and psychologically, especially if they are brainwashed by the abducting parent to believe that the other parent no longer loves them or has died. Abducted children are truly innocent victims of their parents' decisions and actions. Their relationships with other family members, perhaps even siblings and grandparents, are terminated, and their sense of family, belonging, and identity is compromised, if not lost entirely in the process.
What typically starts as a custody dispute balloons into a much larger tragedy with long-term and widespread impacts. Perhaps most tragic are the higher risk factors that abducted children face for severe psychological conditions such as reactive attachment disordergeneralized anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder in both the short and long terms.
Parental abduction may seem a last resort and only remaining alternative to a parent fearful of an abusive situation involving the other parent, an international move instigated by the other parent, or even an unfavorable custody dispute playing out in the courts. Ultimately, working within the family court system to resolve custody matters within the confines of the law is preferable for preserving the well-being of all involved.

News Release: Former Seeno Construction Executive Found Guilty of Embezzlement, Filing False Tax Ret

News Release: Former Seeno Construction Executive Found Guilty of Embezzlement, Filing False Tax Ret

In 2000, Seeno Construction contracted Authentic Technologies to develop this same risk management software managed by Ed Miller.  He fired us without warning, said we didn't perform the spec as ordered without any review.  
Today I know where my $20,000 went.   


























MARTINEZ — A former high-ranking Seeno executive was convicted of stealing $344,000 from his ex-employers, money prosecutors say was used in part to pay off massive gambling debts.
Edward Leroy Miller, 66, was convicted by jury trial Friday of grand theft by embezzlement and tax evasion. The money was taken over time, funneled from lawsuit settlement fundings into a company Miller surreptitiously started without his employers’ permission, prosecutors said.
Miller faces up to one and a half years in jail or prison, or he could be sentenced to probation without confinement, depending on how the judge rules.
At the time of the offenses, Miller was the chief risk officer for Seeno Construction, a prominent development company based in California and Nevada, which originated in Contra Costa County. The investigation into Miller’s finances started when Albert Seeno Jr., the patriarch of the Seeno family, tipped off authorities that Miller had been caught siphoning money Seeno Construction received from lawsuit settlements.
“White collar crime is inherently complex, and this jury was willing to tackle a thorny body of evidence that wasn’t always straightforward,” deputy district attorney Adam Wilks said in a news release. “This jury had to follow money moving across multiple bank accounts, and had to listen to testimony about issues of civil litigation, business formation, and interpersonal dealings within a corporate structure. The verdict in this case speaks volumes about our community, and specifically to those who sacrificed their time to be on this jury, have the sincere thanks of the Contra Costa County DA’s Office.”
In a separate news release, through his attorney Dirk Manoukian, Seeno Jr. thanked Wilks’ “tireless” efforts in prosecuting the case.
“The time and effort the ladies and gentlemen of the criminal trial jury spent listening to the evidence, deliberating, and returning verdicts of guilt is also greatlyappreciated,” the Seeno press release says. “However, Mr. Albert D. Seeno, Jr., and the members of his organization take no satisfaction in a verdict that only reemphasizes the violation of trust which was so upsetting to many within the organization’s teams that worked with Mr. Miller.”
According to prosecutors, Miller would siphon money intended to settle routine lawsuits between Seeno Construction and various contracting companies. His scheme was brought to light when he went on vacation and his colleagues discovered he’d created a company called Intera Risk & Insurance Services LLC, without his bosses’ permission.
Miller’s attorney, Christopher Varnell, argued during trial that the funds were legitimate reimbursements and that Miller had been a trusted executive who saved the company “tons” of money during his tenure. Varnell did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
Miller is set to be sentenced Sept. 13 at 1:30 p.m., by Judge Rebecca Hardie, in Dept. 5 of the AF Bray Courthouse in Martinez.
