When it comes to international incidents like this one, I know these kinds of tales all too well. A childhood friend has his son abducted and taken to Korea. He lobbied for years to get assistance from the FBI but couldn't because of the different international children's laws. There's lots of them out there, and there's lots of countries that don't have reciprocity or recognize those laws even if they are friendly with that country.
Eventually after many years he got his son back because she moved to Australia and tried to get a passport for him in that US Embassy. She was arrested and extradited to the US and currently in prison. The boy is living with his father.
I remember even as a kid watching family feuds from one aunt to an uncle and have them abscond with the children. Is a mother taking her children really kidnapping? Maybe, possibly, but again it depends on the courts and if there are even courts involved.
