In defence of the UK, we report abductions of a child by the "non-custodial" parent as a "kidnapping", not as a family dispute. I'm assuming Canada and Belgium do the same... ... my captors have told me to say.

I bet that really screws up the data for the 'Countries with the most family disputes' quiz

you could have said that the data is available for only 38 countries... Fae china, japan, Us, Colombia, India, etc are not on the list...

1. You should notify players that is per however many people. Clearly new zealand cant have more total than germany, japan, or italy. 2. How does mexico not make the list.

As hairpile said I am sure that many of these nations are on the list because of non-custodial parent interactions as opposed to abductions for financial or terror (not necessarily political terror) purposes, which makes the data difficult to interpret, as well as the very limited dataset which skorpion08 picked up on.

agree with UK being accepted. Plus i think the source points out clearly enough that the figures are very dubious measurements of actual kidnapping levels. i especially liked (ok liked may not be the best word) the comment on the source page which draws attention to the fact legal terms in nation states makes a large difference, specifically the Canadaian law that "the abduction of a child by the "non-custodial" parent is reported as a kidnapping". Still, a very interesting quiz

Yeah I agree with eminem (never thought I'd say that).
