210: Abduction of young person under 16
or “Taking or keeping a child under 16 away from their parent or caregiver without permission is against the law.”
You could also call this:

“You can't be found guilty of taking a child if you honestly thought you had the right to have them.”

If you claim in good faith that you have the right to have a young person under 16 years old with you, you cannot be found guilty of offences under section 209 or section 210 just because you get possession of the young person. This means that if you truly believe you have the right to have the young person with you, you won’t be convicted of these crimes for having them in your care.
