    Default Re: When Can a Grandparent be Charged With Concealment of Minor

    I recently let my 12 yr old daughter go on vacation w my mother for a month to MA. When they returned, I met them at airport took my daughter to Excalibur for 2 nights. When we came home, my daughter asked if she could go visit Nana (we live right next to each other).
    Are "Nana" and "my mother" the same person, or are you talking about two different grandmothers (e.g., "Nana" is the mother of your child's other parent)?

    She ended up spending the night and has not returned home since.
    And this was how long ago?

    Is there any particular reason you didn't walk next door and tell your daughter to get her butt home?

    There is a NRS that states concealment of a minor is a felony. The definition of Concealment is clear.
    If you're talking about NRS 200.359, it only applies to parents of the child or persons who have "a limited right of custody to a child by operation of law or pursuant to an order, judgment or decree of any court." I assume "Nana" is not your child's other parent, and you did not mention "Nana" having any right to custody. I disagree that the definition of "conceals" is clear, but that's a moot point. What you're describing could, theoretically, be kidnapping.

    The police not only refused to force my mother to return my child. They never heard of this law. They claimed it was civil matter. They said to wait till court date see what judge says about guardianship. No police report was filed since no crime had been committed. WHAT CAN I DO?
    I'm sure you can do a great many things, including exactly what the police told you to do: wait until the court date to see what the judge says about the guardianship. It's baffling to me that you didn't take any action the day after your daughter spent the night when she didn't return home. Given that you waited to contact the police until "Nana" filed a guardianship petition, the refusal of the police to take any action makes perfect sense. If you haven't already consulted with a local attorney, you would be well-advised to do so.

    P.S. Has your child started school or will she soon be starting? Any reason you can't pick her up after school and bring her home?
