What offense is committed when a father pays someone to abduct his child from daycare?

The scenario described involves a father who actively seeks to have his child abducted, which constitutes an offense directly related to the unlawful removal of a child from a place of custody or guardianship. The act of paying someone to carry out the abduction clearly indicates a calculated and intentional effort to remove the child without lawful justification, marking it as an offense of Agreement to Abduct from Custody.

In this context, it’s important to understand that while the act involves elements of conspiracy—since the father is colluding with another to commit the crime—the focus here is specifically on the agreement to carry out the abduction itself. The father’s payment underscores his involvement and commitment to the act, making it a direct offense related to the abduction process, rather than simply a preparatory stage of conspiracy.

Other options might involve elements related to the situation, but they do not focus specifically on the father’s direct agreement to facilitate the crime of abduction in a way that holds him culpable for orchestrating the unlawful act against his own child.
