Book Description

Publication Date: February 15, 2007

THE STOLEN CHILDREN. When he married in 1971, Glen C. Schulz never dreamed it wouldn t last. Nevertheless, 10 years later, he found himself embroiled in a bitter and acrimonious custody battle. Glen was falsely accused of sexually abusing his children and his visitation rights were taken away without so much as a hearing. When it became apparent that the legal system was not on his side, he was forced to take the law into his own hands. He fled with his two children and eventually settled in Houston, Texas. On the run from the FBI and the police, Glen and his children were forced to go underground and assume false identities. Friends, teachers and family rallied around them, hiding the children when Glen was arrested and when their mother tried to steal them back. Unlawful Flight is a true story of suspense, the power of love and one father s brave stand to keep his children safe.

Fathers rights advocate Glen C. Schulz speaks out about the detrimental effects of protracted custody disputes on children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful testimony of one man's dedication to his children, April 13, 2007

This review is from: Unlawful Flight: A Parental Kidnapping (Paperback)

Unlawful Flight: A Parental Kidnapping is the true-life memoir of father's rights advocate Glen C. Shulz, whose acrimonious divorce culminated in a false accusation of sexually abusing his two children. Stripped of his visitation rights without so much as a hearing, and desperate to be with his children despite a legal system heavily biased against him, he fled with both children to Houston, Texas. On the run from the FBI and the police, he and his children assumed false identities and received help from friends, family, and teachers, who hid the children when Glen was arrested and when their mother tried to steal them back. Eventually, after multiple arrests, Glen succeeded in denying overwhelming odds and earning full custody of his children. A heart-wrenching story of family strife, yet also of love and ultimately of reconciliation. A final afterword from Glen's daughter rounds out the compelling tale: "There has never been a day in my whole life when I regretted what my father has done... I did eventually forge a relationship with my mother; I got to know her for eight years before her untimely death. In the end there were no harsh words spoken, just a family that had finally come full circle." A powerful testimony of one man's dedication to his children, and the trying family times that tested and tempered his faith in God.

I had the honor and privilege of reading this book before it was published and I can honestly say it is without a doubt a page turner. I could not put it down. I laughed and cried and felt the pain,through the author's descriptive words, what all of them had to go through. This man is the most amazing person I ever met. His children have great lives and future, because of what he did and was willing to give up. This is one selfless man. Please read the book and you'll know what I mean.

It is a father's responsibility to support and protect his children. It is the most human thing any man does. It chills my soul to hear about dads who are in no way a part of their children's lives; but it warmed my heart to read through the pages of this book and learn of a man who was willing to sacrifice everything for the love of his son and daughter.

The story was recommended to me by my brother Kevin and his wife Chris. Kevin was mentioned many times in the story. I never knew he and Chris were ever involved in helping to protect this family. I am proud that they, along with the many others mentioned in the story did what their heart told them was the right thing to do.
