SPEARS, Justice.

This is a child abduction case. Ronan Silcott sued his son's maternal grandfather, Bobby Oglesby, alleging that Oglesby kidnapped Silcott's child. The jury found monetary damages for Silcott and the trial court rendered judgment on the verdict. The court of appeals reversed holding that a parent does not have a common law cause of action if someone abducts his child in violation of a custody order. 709 S.W.2d 45
