A Mother’s Fight After Parental Child Abduction

In this heart-breaking episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with DAYLIN LIMONTE, a devoted mother whose life was forever changed when her son, Caleb, was taken by his father and never returned. What began as a routine weekend visitation turned into a years-long cross-border fight that tested every limit of her faith, strength, and endurance.

With honesty and grace, Daylin opens up about the pain of loss, the struggle for justice, and the challenges of navigating two legal systems that often fail to protect victims of parental abduction. Through her courage and unwavering hope, this episode sheds light on the harsh realities of family separation and the enduring power of a mother’s love.

Behind every missing child is a parent who hasn’t stopped looking. Behind every court case is a family trying to heal. And behind every story like Daylin’s is a call to action to make sure no parent ever has to search for their child alone.
