Cults, Deprogrammers, And The Necessity Defense, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note considers the applicability of the necessity defense in criminal prosecutions of parents and deprogrammers. Part I explores the conflicting policies that underlie the traditional necessity defense, and suggests that courts replace their unitary approach to necessity with a "choice of evils" defense - for actors reasonably attempting to avoid a greater evil - and a "compulsion" defense - for actors reacting understandably to the pressure of circumstances. Part II applies these defenses to deprogramming cases, and concludes that rarely may they be advanced successfully.

Interstate Enforcement Of Child Protection Orders, Donald N. Duquette
Interstate Enforcement Of Child Protection Orders, Donald N. Duquette
Book Chapters
Child protection orders issued by local courts are sometimes violated. As long as the children and the other parties involved remain within the court's jurisdiction, enforcement problems, although they exist, are less complicated than the problems presented when the child is out of the court's jurisdiction. A child may be removed from the jurisdiction during visitation, contrary to the court's order. A child, visiting in another jurisdiction, may not be returned as ordered by the court. A child placed out of the jurisdiction by the court may now be in jeopardy because of an unauthorized removal from placement or other …
