A: The actual law regarding the parent-child bond can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. In general, the law recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong bond between parents and their children. If your oldest child is missing and in the custody of ICW (Indian Child Welfare), it is advisable to seek legal advice from a family law attorney or a lawyer specializing in child custody matters. They can review your specific situation, assess the applicable laws in your jurisdiction, and guide you on the appropriate steps to take to locate and potentially regain custody of your child. It may also be beneficial to contact local law enforcement and file a missing person report if you have not already done so.
