Child abduction is the abduction or kidnapping of a child (or baby) by an older person. Several distinct forms of child abduction exist:
While cases have been reported from antiquity, this phenomenon has recently taken on greater awareness as a result of movies and television series (example: Without a Trace) depictions of the premise of people who remove children from strangers to bring up as their own often after the death of their own child. Abductions by strangersPerhaps the most feared (although not the most common) kind of abduction is removal by a stranger. The stereotypical version of stranger abduction is the classic form of "kidnapping," exemplified by the Lindbergh kidnapping, in which the child is detained, transported some distance, held for ransom or with intent to keep the child permanently. These instances are, however, rare.. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Hi, I thought this was a good way to let all parents know of a recent abduction attempt - I only have a few details on it, if anyone can add to it please do. In a Tesco store (I think it was in Wales although cant be 100% sure) a mother was shopping and had her daughter in the trolley seat. the mother turned round to get something off the shelf and when she turned round her daughter was gone. as quick as that. The quick thinking mother ran directly to the front of the store instead of wasting time running up and down aisles, and made security pull the shutters down. Then a compete search of the store was conducted. Chillingly, in the toilets, was a man and lady, along with this lady's daughter, having already cut her long hair off, they … [cont.] Asked by Lisa E - Tue Jun 12 04:35:06 2007 - - 32 Answers - 0 Comments A. I recollect this story and full credit to the mother - not the action that the majority of parents would take. I think I would have searched the store first before getting a third party involved.

Q. Instead of trying to out do each other, or in some cases doing nothing at all, I think it would be a good thing if all the main newspapers in the Uk got together and donated, on a regular basis, to a fund which could then be used to fund publicity, rewards etc with regard to the abduction of children. The fund could be administered and managed by an independent organisation such as Childline and reguarly and again independently audited. I realise there will be issues and problems to iron out but nothing which is not easily resolved. what do you think ? The idea is sound. It could work if there was the will to make it happen. If you are right in what you say then it is a tragic loss of a golden opportunity. It is a fecked up world we live… [cont.] Asked by Saturn 5 - Wed Feb 27 05:05:24 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's not a bad idea. In response to 'it's a fecked up world we live in' well yes and no. The papers, the media generally, and the politicians all have a vested interest in making it seem so. It's a wide-held belief that things are getting worse - more violence, abductions, robberies. IT AIN'T SO! What IS on the rise is the FEAR of crime, thanks to those mentioned earlier. Isolated cases are given huge coverage. In addition as adults we are aware of crime in a way we weren't as children. So we look back on youth as a time of security and peace. The murders etc happened even more back then, but we were busy being kids doing kids stuff not fretting over the Daily Mail. Just ask yourself, do you really think it was safer to walk around… [cont.] Answered by Marten H - Wed Feb 27 05:52:32 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Child Abduction"
