    Where any petitioner in an Indian child custody proceeding before a 
State court has improperly removed the child from custody of the parent 
or Indian custodian or has improperly retained custody after a visit or 
other temporary relinquishment of custody, the court shall decline 
jurisdiction over such petition and shall forthwith return the child to 
his parent or Indian custodian unless returning the child to his parent

danger or threat of such danger.
