| | removal/abduction of child/minor | Explanation:
it seems from the limited context that one parent has refused the other their rights of access and has effectively abducted the child or removed from jurisdiction, see this thread

AT;s suggestion of "removal of child from parental authority" is probably safest bet here. It is a question of one parent denying access to the other. See this link and extract from it
www.schwarzfamilylaw.com/custody.html - Canada
Joint custody has nothing to do with where the child resides. ... If one parent is denying access, the other parent's best option is to assemble incontrovertible ...
When court ordered access does not take place because of the actions of one parent or the other, the party responsible can expect to be brought back to court. The child has a right to see the access parent. On the other hand, if access is persistently missed by the non-custodial parent, the court may order the access be suspended rather than expose the child to future disappointments.
If one parent is denying access, the other parent’s best option is to assemble incontrovertible evidence that the access has been denied. The most common excuses for not making the child available for access are as follows:

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 removing a child from parental authority
Explanation:
Probably best to stick close to the French here.
The prinicple behind "autorité parentale" is that matters relating to the education and upbringing of a child in common are the responsability of both parents, irrespective of the fact that they may be separated or divorced.
http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichCode.do;jsessionid=5F429...
"Article 372 En savoir plus sur cet article...
Modifié par LOI n°2011-1862 du 13 décembre 2011 - art. 21
Les père et mère exercent en commun l'autorité parentale.
Toutefois, lorsque la filiation est établie à l'égard de l'un d'entre eux plus d'un an après la naissance d'un enfant dont la filiation est déjà établie à l'égard de l'autre, celui-ci reste seul investi de l'exercice de l'autorité parentale. Il en est de même lorsque la filiation est judiciairement déclarée à l'égard du second parent de l'enfant.
L'autorité parentale pourra néanmoins être exercée en commun en cas de déclaration conjointe des père et mère adressée au greffier en chef du tribunal de grande instance ou sur décision du juge aux affaires familiales."
In other words, if a parent fails to return a child after having exercised his/her right to have the child with him/her for the weekend for example, then not only is the defaulting parent exposing him or herself to the risk of being accused of having failed to return the child at the time determined by the judgment, but also to the risk of being accused of having removed the child from parental authority, (or, from another point of view, of having deprived the parent from his right to exercise parental authority).
"autorité parental" is defined by law. See above.
"droit d'hébergement et de visite" are aslo defined by law.
Technically speaking most judgments provide something along the lines of if the parent fail to return the child within an hour of the time stipulated, then he/she shall be considered as being in default.
I reckon this is another of those where English might read a bit strangely but that seeking a US/UK parallel term and using that is to be avoided.

A classic situation I have seen in a number of past translations is where a parent wishes to spend more time with his/her child and deliberately overruns the visit time - sometime repeatedly and sometimes for a long time. The defaulting parent can find themselves with this sort of charge being brought against them.
No mention is made of taking the child out of the jurisdiction. Indeed, children sometimes move out of one jurisdiction into another in order to visit the other parent. It is important not to read what has not been mentionned. Ditto abduction.

Hope no ofence caused with this posting. I hesitated between posting a fresh answer and a reference post. The fact is that in a refernece post, there is less space. I ought to have made clear that this was knowingly a tuning of Gallay's answer. That said, abduction cannot be read into the term "soustraction" etc... although of course if the parent fails to return the child and then runs away with the child, it becomes abduction and the first line charge will read abduction, ahead of will failure to reutrn the child at the right time/Failure to respect the judgment/failure to submit the child to parental authority etc!
I worked on this case in the past : http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/kidnap-hearing-draws-bl...

I worked at the end of this case when the father had repeated the abduction in spite of having already been charged. I think he ended up in prison in the UK. C'est le genre de cas qui marque...
