The Claim of Right – who can and can’t steal a child without being prosecuted
This is a defence against the stealing of a child. There are three different child stealing offences in Australia, with those relating to the mother, the father of an illegitimate child, or someone who claims the right to possess the child, and why they cannot be found guilty of stealing the child.

What this means is that some people simply cannot be prosecuted for stealing a child (from their lawful caregivers) due to their relationship or connection to the child.
