Imformation on kidnapping and abductions.
Approximately 85-90 percent of the 876,213 persons reported missing to America’s law enforcement agencies in 2001 were people under 18 years old. That means that 2,100 times per day parents or primary care givers felt the disappearance was serious enough to call law enforcement.
There are three distinct types of kidnapping:
• Family kidnappings are committed by parents and occur more frequently with children under 6 years old. It most often starts at home.
• Acquaintance kidnapping happens when someone is taken by someone they know, but that person is not a family member.
• Stranger kidnappings victimize more females than males. They often occur at outdoor locations and affect teenagers and school-age children. They’re the most likely of all kidnappings to involve guns.
