This may came to you as a huge shock. I recently can across a video on how easy it is to kidnap a child and decided to investigate more facts and reasons. Most of all I am looking for tips on how to save ourselves from this kind of torment.
Heres the video
On average according to National centre of missing and exploited children (from the cities U.S Department of Juice report) around 800,000 kids are abducted per year. This is more than 2000 a day; more than 83 an hour; and more than 1 a minute. They have found that 203,000 are by their own family members and 58,200 by non-family members. Others are runaways and ones pushed out of their homes. Regardless of the numbers very few cases get the recognition it needs to get. From the cases that do received recognition 57% of these kids are found and returned to their families. From the ones that are not given the same less than 15% will ever see their families again. The question the arises; Why don’t all abduction cases get the same recognition? Most are because of a “don’t care” attitude.
The alarming fact is that is statistic is for the USA only.
WHY DO KIDS GET ABDUCTED
Family disputes
This being the least inhuman category (or is it).
• 53% of children abducted by their fathers
• 25% of children by their mothers
• 22% by the rest of their families
In most cases the children are returned. This fact is a deception; in reality this problem leaves the child more mental issues. Adding to this; it is quite possible that the lawful removal of the child could be to his or her detriment.Kidnapping for Ransom
In this type of case the main reason is for financial gain. Many incidences the victims family that are well-off financial and/or influential famillies. The kidnappers are mostly unlawful organisations (gangs etc.) rather the individuals.
If the victims or the families of the victims are undocumented aliens or are involved in criminal activity, then the likelihood is that they will not inform the authorities of the abductions. Ransoms are paid quietly and the victims are returned. Or they are not paid and the kidnappers murder there.Sexual abductions
This type of abduction is the most inhuman kind. The victims will most likely never return to their Families and most are transported outside of the home countries. As a parent it would be impossible to come to terms with. For the victim a live long punishment. The Almighty save us all .Body parts
This kind of abduction is carried out for only financial gain. In many cases affluent people are involved. The victim will never return.
Prevention
Here is an article from DR Gial Gross. I can’t over emphasise the importance to all parents to read
I believe it is important to teach children how to avoid being seized, how to resist a potential captor and how to escape. Kids are vulnerable and trusting, and it is our job as parents to remind them of basic safety rules, including:
