The case of Josef and Shelby Nicole Cannon:

Shelby Nicole Cannon Was abducted and went missing for ten years.  Her father, actor and co-author of the
Synclair-Cannon Child Abduction Prevention Act, searched for years to locate his daughter.  Once Josef located his daughter, like others, he felt all would soon be over and his daughter returned.  In a turn to the worst, Ireland blocked his request to have her returned.


A great article:

Ireland’s argument was a loophole in the international treaty on parental child abduction, the Hague Convention.  This loophole allowed an abducting parent to challenge based upon if the child had become accustom to their home.

As strange as it might be, Shelby’s mother was able to keep her daughter that she successfully convinced was not named Shelby Cannon, but the name and birthday from a child she stole off of a grave maker.  Ireland, in fear of having Shelby’s mother face felony charges for her criminal actions, has protected her every since being uncovered as a wanted fugitive for Child Stealing. 

    

Mr. Cannon has not sat idly by waiting for his daughter to be returned.  Since his daughter was abducted he has been a tireless warrior for all parents searching for their stolen children.  Joseph co-wrote the Synclair-Cannon Child Abduction Prevention Act and has created and narrated educational films covering child stealing and identity theft. 

Josef Cannon co-authored the "Synclair-Cannon Child Abduction Prevention Act", which was passed into Law in October of 2002. It was Mr. Brosnan's appearance at the anniversary of the law and meeting with Mr. Cannon, that led to a woman on vacation in Scotland reading the article written about them and recognizing a picture of little Shelby Nicole Cannon as that of a child in her son's class back in Liverpool, England.
