Ye, I've read the same thing. Now you'll understand why my wife made the accusations against me:

DEFENCES UNDER SECTIONS 282(1) AND 283(1):

1.It is not a defence to any charge under ss. 280-283 that the young person consented to or suggested any conduct of the accused (s. 286).

2.It is a defence if the alleged abductor establishes that the taking, etc., of the child was done with the consent of the parent, guardian or other person having the lawful possession, care or charge of the child.

3.It is a defence:
1.if the child was taken, etc., to protect the child from danger of imminent harm, or

2.if the alleged abductor was fleeing from imminent harm and taking the child as well. For example, protecting a child from child abuse would provide a defence; as would an escape from a situation of spousal assault and the removal of the child at the same time (see s. 285).
