Kidnapping and Abduction

The document discusses kidnapping and abduction. Kidnapping involves forcibly taking someone against their will and holding them captive, usually for monetary ransom. Abduction involves deceiving or forcing someone away from home or relatives, often someone known to the abductor like in parental child disputes, without monetary motives. Both are illegal but charges differ depending on circumstances. Prevention tips are provided like knowing contact info, using safety strategies, avoiding secrets or situations that make one uncomfortable, and informing trusted adults of any concerns.

KIDNAPPING
- It is taking away of forcefully moving a person against
his/her will and holding him/her in unjust captivity.

The act is usually done for a motive like getting a

monetary reward or ransom or getting some sort of benefit
from the person or their family.
Kidnapping
The kidnapper is usually a family acquaintance who knows about the
family’s wealth and influence, or a stranger who targeted the victim based on
their outward appearance of wealth or information given to the kidnapper
from someone who knows the victim intimately, such as a household
employee or someone else who suspects that the victim has a lot of cash.
Kidnapping
There are some cases wherein kidnappers target their victims based on their
nationality, ethnicity, religion, social status or organizational affiliation (i.e.
employees of a specific company or a member of a political party might be
targeted).
The kidnappers could be an acquaintance or a stranger who has the information
about a person or family’s wealth and / or influences. Unfortunately, because the
primary aim of this type of kidnapping is to attract public attention, be visible or to
make a statement , the percentage of hostages that are killed can be quite high.
Another type of kidnapping based on gender, wherein the kidnapper is mentally
disturbed and has strange sexual thoughts or behavior, which he/she has directed
towards the victim.
ABDUCTION
- It is the use of deceit or force in order to take a person or a child away
from their home or relatives. In abduction, the victim usually knows or
has some sort of relation with the abductor. Most of the time, the abductor
is not holding the victim profit or any monetary gain.
Abduction usually happens to children with separated parents, wherein
the child will be tricked by one parent to come with him/her and take the
child away from the other parent who has sole custody of the child. This is
usually because of an emotional disorder created when the abductor feels
that the child’s welfare and best interests are at risk or the child will be gone
completely from his/ her life.
Abduction

Sometimes, abductions occur out of revenge.

People take hostages during periods of anger and deep loss,

like abducting the child of an ex-lover for revenge or to
blackmail the ex-lover to think again resuming their
relationship.

What is the Difference Between Abduction and Kidnapping?
(more info)

When a person is kidnapped, he or she has been taken against his or her will usually
through forcible means, by threats against him or her or in some way of deceit.
There is often an intent by the perpetrator that harm or injury may occur, but the
person may expect a lengthy detainment. Kidnapping is usually accompanied with a
ransom for money or other gains. However, a crime of abduction is considered to be
when a person has been taken away from his or her original location by persuading
him or her, by some act of fraud or with a forceful way that may include violence.
Both crimes are very similar, but charges are quite different when issued against the
accused. It is important to ensure the right charge has been issued to guarantee a
court case commences with less difficulty.
PREVENTION
1. Know your name, address, and phone number(s).

2. Learn how and when to call 911.

3. If you are scared of someone, RUN to safety.

4. It’s okay to be RUDE to a grown-up if you feel you are unsafe.

5. Learn the difference between an “OKAY” secret and a “NOT OKAY” secret and beware of an
adult that asks you to keep a secret from parents.

6. Don’t let anyone on the phone or at the door know that you are home alone.
7. If you ever get lost in a mall, ask the closest store clerk for help and then stay where you
are until you are found.

8. Avoid shortcuts when you are walking from one place to another.

9. If you are ever “scooped,” scream, kick, bite and FIGHT as hard as you can to get away!
NEVER trust what the “scooper” tells you.

10. Tell your parents or a trusted adult if someone is asking you to do something that makes
you feel uncomfortable. Listen to your “Uh Oh” voice.

11. Always ask your parents for permission before getting on the Internet.
