Another child is abducted, this time stolen from the parent by a young women in Finland, but it may just be the tip of the iceberg.

Finnish media reports about another child abduction in Finland: a young woman of 21 stole a baby from a parent. Child-abduction comes in a variety of forms. Here are some examples where women steal/abduct other people's children, or abduct children from their fathers. One case shows how the mothers parents took a leading role in the abduction. More common are women who pretend to be victims, and together with personnel at the social service and so called women's shelter (according to leading personnel at Helsingfors social service, it's also called Institution for women with mental challenges) abduct children. In one such case, the mother murdered her child. Women who abduct children, others or their own, have mental issues, likely borderline personality disorder or Münchhausen syndrome, including peregrination. The manifestation is pathological lying, and blaming others for their own behavior. 8 pages.

Since the 1980s women's abductions of babys have increased and so has womens violence included in the abductions in the US and in Europe.


Here's a matching case:

The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children/Us office of Juvenile Justice and delinquency prevention have published documentation for healthcare professionals on how to prevent such abductions and spot potential warning signs, along with a list of characteristics often seen in women who commit this type of crime.

Abducting other people's children is one form of abduction. But women also abduct their own children from the fathers. Even though the descriptives may differ, the behavior seems to match.
  • 2005, a mother who abducted and isolated a child from the child's father was sent to prison for six 10 months (DN)
  • 2010. A mother who lost a custodial trial got help from personnel at the social service and women's shelter to abduct a boy from his father. A school in Gothenburg accepted to enlist the boy under a false name. When the boy was finally rescued and returned to his father, several years had gone by (Eklund, ST, 2012; Elfving, ST, 2012). 
  • 2013. A mother, her family, and personnel at the social service cooperated to isolate (abduct) a child from his father (Österberg, 2014/2023). 
  • 2014. A mother abducted a child from the child's father by leaving the country. Personnel at the High court (Hovrätt) changed the custody to the father, and the child could be returned home (Haddäng/Eriksson, 2014). 
  • 2022. A woman in Finland who lost custody of the child to the father,, abducted the child to Russia (Svartström, 2022). 
A marker for a abduction-oriented behavior of children are women who are claiming they are victims. If they don't get their, women may use crying to increase compassion (Weaver, 2011).

On this blog has been presented a number of cases in seventeen articles, written in Swedish, start with [Ytterligare] ett fall ... where women used victim-hood to demand sole control of the children. The case reveals that personnel at social services in Sweden take an active role to help mothers abduct children from their fathers.
(Here are links to the first three articles: 1, 2, 3).

Similar things happen i Finland. On may 31, I conducted a lecture to parents who lost their children legally, that is, personnel at Finnish social services and courts have acted to help mothers to isolate/abduct the children from the fathers.

Here's a link to an article written about the lecture: Public talk: Domestic Violence, Custodial trials, and Parental alienation.

The year before, social service in Helsingfors and something called children's shelter or protection (Barnskyddet) helped a mother, probably on the premise that she had claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. The social social service also placed her 12-year old son with her. The woman then murdered her son and then took her own life (Björkqvist, HBL, 2022).

Note: according to leading personnel at Helsingfors social service, its also called "Institution for women with mental challenges".

Why does things like this happen?

During the process of interviewing people for the series of articles called [Ytterligare] ett fall ..., a similar pattern emerged among women who abducted children from their fathers. The women (mothers) were very dramatic and made up unlikely stories about fathers. But despite the stories where very unlikely, personnel at the social service and courts bought into them without asking any questions whatsoever.

In one case, however, it turned out that the mother was diagnosed with Borderline Personality disorder (BPS). 

See: Zalewski et al. 2014. Addition: Ruffalo (2024).

Her behavior also demonstrated something called peregrination - often moving to different places with the children.


Peregrination is part of a phenomenon called Münchhausen syndrome which in a situation where women abduct children is manifested as by proxy or Factitious disorder imposed on another (FDIA).

The Depp-Heard trial serves as a case to answer why women act this way.

Ms. Heard's behavior was similar of the Swedish and Finnish women who had abducted their children; she accused Depp of all sorts of thing including domestic abuse. But during the trial it became evident that Heard was the abuser.

And forensic psychologist Shannon Curry dismissed Ms. Heard's claim that Depp had caused her PTSD. Instead, it became evident that Ms. Heard was the perpetrator.

Dr Curry concluded that Heard suffered from BPS, originated from her own Complex childhood trauma.

When digging into the Swedish cases a little deeper, it became evident that the same had happened to the mothers who used blame-game to take control (abduct) the children from their fathers.

The manifestation of BPS and other mental issues can be pathological lying and relational aggressiveness, the latter typically a female phenomenon (Hyde, 2005).

As if by chance, during spring 2022, the police in Helsingfors said that relational aggressiveness among Finnish women is one of their biggest problems to handle.

If the facts are in the open, why don't personnel at the social service and courts (judges) intervene?

In 1950, Sweden got a new custodial principle to follow: Mater semper certa est, which translated into English means something like the presumption of motherhood or mother first. Surveys of decision-making among Swedish and American court staff (Judges) between 2001-2018 show that they discriminate against children's father relationship in 75% of cases (Biringen and Harman, 2018; Elfver-Lindström, 1999; Schiratzki, 2008; Österberg, 2004).

And the court staff use advise from the personnel at the social service who in generell blame father for something called Men's violence against women, which is a post-marxist/feminist interpretation of the scientific concept Domestic Violence, which shows the following distributing between men and women:
  • physical domestic violence - Women account for a little more than half of occurrences and injuries.
  • Lethal domestic violence - its equally unlikely (0.000005) for children, men, or women to be victims.
  • Psychological domestic violence or relational aggressiveness - typically a female phenomenon.
Learn more about [women's] domestic violence (Archer,2000, 2004; Bates, Graham-Kevan och Archer , 2014; Bates och Graham-Kevan, 2016; Bates, 2018; Bates, Kaye, Pennington och Hamlin, 2019; Bergkvist, 2002; Crick och Grotpeter, 1995; Thornton et al. 2012).

Why does this matter?

According to science, children's emotional and social adjustment and cognitive development happens during first five years and is conditioned by their father-relation (Baumrind, 1966Gopnik, 2016Hart och Risley, 1995; Macrae,2021; Rolle et al. 2019; Sethna et al. 2017; Österberg, 2004).

Conclusion. Women more often then men are preparators of domenstic violence, including child abduction. Women's antisocial behavior will likely harm childrens emotional and social adjustment and cognitive development.
