Idaho Mother and Son Arrested for Kidnapping Teen for Out-of-State Abortion

A mother and son from Idaho have been charged with second-degree kidnapping for allegedly taking an underage girl across state lines to Oregon for an abortion without her parents' knowledge. The girl had been living with the Swainstons and was in a consensual sexual relationship with the son since she was 15. She became pregnant, but the son threatened to end the relationship if she gave birth. The mother arranged for the abortion, and cellphone data confirmed their trip to Oregon. The Swainstons have not been charged under Idaho's "abortion trafficking" statute, but their case is being seen as a test case for the controversial law. The son is also facing rape and child exploitation charges, while the mother is facing drug charges.
