Is there a court order giving her guardianship? If there is, you must go to that court and ask for the guardianship to be terminated. If there is no court order, file a kidnapping report. If the police do not want to be involved, then you must immediately file a complaint where she lives asking the court to order her to return your child to you.

You should consult with a family law attorney in your area right away as to all of your options. It is unclear from you post how custody was denied to you. Generally, when one natural guardian/biological parent denies, the child remains with the surviving parent unless that surviving parent was found to be a danger to the child, etc.

You could report it to the FBI. You should also file for emergency custody. Once you get the Order you need to enroll it in the State where she fled. Once that State's court enrolls the order you can enforce it, with the help of the local police, and get your child back.
