This depends on the circumstances. If they are unmarried, than he has no legal rights to the child under US law, so not doing so could be considered child abduction. Single mothers have Sole Custody and Control until there is a court order in place. He needs to move quickly to get an order into place. He could file for temporary custody while in possession of the child. Tell him to contact me immediately. See links below
