The subject of the article refers to parental kidnappings and abductions as a phenomenon which constitutes a family efficiency crisis. The chosen subject implies the necessity to analyse the described problem from two perspectives: violation of a legal norm and disturbance in functioning of a family seen as an educational environment. The second aspect is followed by a need to indicate the possibilities of overcoming the crisis, ways of help, persons and organizations capable of providing such help, as well as the chances of eliminating the effects of the difficult situation for the future. As a special form of reparative actions taken in the described situation, the family mediation was indicated, which may constitute a way to a profound analysis and understanding of the conflict by the parties – the fact that may influence the efficacy of preventing repetitiveness of the phenomenon.
