If there was no order preventing her from doing so, there can be no kidnapping -- in America anyone can claim anything -- that does not mean that the person making the claim will get any relief from a court although it can put the person thru all sorts of expense.

If you knowingly take a child out of the states jurisdiction without the other parents consent, then I do believe that a kidnapping charge can be brought. There are exceptions, and running/hiding from an abusive spouse is one of them, so in the above case, she is ok. But in general it is not.
