Get a certified copy of the custody order and then file a report with the district attorney's office in Sacamento county, or county in which she was residing at the time she took your child. The district attorney's office should search for her and can obtain a warrant for her arrest.

The other option is to hire an attorney and a private investigate to attempt to locate her and to file a Order to Show cause for contempt.
