Jonathan Smalley

Non-custodial parents are not the only ones who decide to not follow court orders and take matters into their own hands. A 4 year old boy taken form home by his noncustodial grandmother is the center of this week’s case.

Jonathan Smalley is 3 foot tall and weighs 40 lbs. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. Jonathan walks with a limp. His grandmother may say his last name is Dupre or Garretson.

If you see Jonathan, please call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-the-lost, that’s 1-800-843-5678.

We often tell you that non-custodial parents can be charged with interference with parental custody if they abduct a child. This also is true for grandparents. Many adults feel they have valid reasons for taking a child, but removing a child from his home state is never in the best interest of the child.
