When does the FBI get involved in the kidnapping of a child...?

....or are they involved from the beginning?

The FBI gets involved if a crime occurs across state borders (otherwise it's the job of the local or state police), or if it's a crime they have automatic jurisdiction over.

In a kidnapping case, the FBI only gets involved if the child is taken out of state, but an alert normally goes out as soon as the police think a kidnapping has occured.

Usually because the kidnapper has crossed state lines. Local authorities don't have jurisdiction in other states but the FBI has jurisdiction across the entire country.

Once the local authorities have received enough evidence to believe it is a real kidnapping, they will call the FBI. Child does not have to be taken across state lines.
