Seems like they are going to have difficulty proving any kind of crime as to which consent would be a defense.

I can't think there is going to be any claim of "consent" here either. Even if in theory, the first boy went with the suspect voluntarily, there was no lawful court order. In Kaleefornia, it would amount to child stealing, which is a felony, and there would be no issue of consent because absent a hearing or court order, the child at age 11 could not consent to live with a total stranger. The kidnapping of the second boy throws a lot of water on a hoped for defense of consent, because the incident is so new that there was insufficient time to brainwash the second boy. I'm speculating that the suspect will plead guilty and there simply won't be a trial.
