Narcissistic child abductors. Narcissistic disorder is a personality disorder when a person is extremely preoccupied with his personal power, abilities, and conceit and unable to realize how that affects people around him and himself. They’re excessively self-centred and they have emphasized feelings of self-importance, strong need for affirmation and adoration and recognition as superior and special, but they lack in empathy and pity. They are easily hurt and they often feel abandoned, and because of that and their disability to relate to others they often trouble to maintain healthy relationships.

Narcissistic Child Abductors

Narcissistic child abductors are the worst. Parents with narcissistic personality disorder are very close to their children, they are overprotective and they are often anxious about their growing up and envious of the other parent and people who are close to the child. That is why people with this disorder are more likely to become child abductors. Their kidnapping of a child can be triggered by numerous things- realization that the child is growing up and therefore becoming more independent, fact that their child is becoming closer with another person than it is to him, loss of the child in custody trial.

Narcissists Will Not Accept They’re Not The Best For Their Children

In some extreme cases parents with narcissistic disorder forbid their children to go to school and leave the house and like that limit their contact to him or her. Consequences from these cases are more severe than from other cases of parental kidnapping, especially because people with this disorder are convinced that they don’t have a problem and refuse to undertake a therapy and like that salvage their relationships. People who eventually end up in therapies are actually their victims. People with NPD will not accept that they are not the best for their children, and for anyone else for that matter, won’t accept any kind of loss, and they have a need to control everything.

Profiling the Narcissist Abductor

Dealing with kidnappers with NPD requires special attention and law enforcements should be informed about the kidnapping immediately. It is important to provide them with information about relationships between child and the abductor and the abductor and the other parent, without withholding anything as a result of shame and embarrassment. Any keeping back of the information might result in wrongful profiling the abductor and so in prolonging the time the child spends kidnapped. They should also be briefed if there are any suspicions that that child has already been or might be taken to another country.

Narcissists Evil Intention

Both the other parent and the child must be conscious about abducting parent’s condition and they have to understand that his actions are consequences of an illness that has to be treated. They should be aware that they both were victims of a person with NPD and that that caused everything that happened, and not some kind of abducting parent’s evil intention. If it comes to abductor’s arrest, the child should not witness it. It is important for him to continue to consider him one of his parents and to leave some space for possible improvement of their relationship in the future.
