Child Abduction Awareness Is Every Caretakers Responsibility

By Nora Jennings


Numerous children have been kidnapped never to be found. No one can ignore the danger. Children are taken from playgrounds, parks and their own neighborhoods. It is good to pay attention to these reports because child abduction awareness can prevent some of these cases of children vanishing.

There was the case of a mom running in to pick up one item at a convenience store in the middle of the day. It was cold so she left her six-year old daughter in the warm car. Yes, she was gone for less than five minutes. It was long enough for an opportunistic pervert to open the car door and disappear with the little girl.

Parents routinely leave a child in the car while they run in to carry out a baby in his portable car seat. The car is in their own driveway, just feet away from the house. Still, it only takes a minute for an opportunistic pervert to take advantage of the situation.

It happens faster than imaginable. In more than one case a little girl starts home from school with friends. She disappears somewhere between school and her home.

Every day seems to dawn on a new kidnapping. Older children can be given instructions on how to obstruct one of these perverts. Do not walk close to a strangers car. Some predators ask for directions and pretend they cannot hear the answer. If the child moves close enough, the stranger can reach out and grab him or her.

Second, if a stranger grabs them, make as much noise as possible to attract attention. Scream, kick and do anything to get away. Third, never listen to what a stranger tells them. The kindest looking woman or man may be a kidnapper.

A clever predator is skilled at fooling children. He might say he is sad because his dog is lost. He may ask the children to help in the search. A person the child met while grocery shopping with mom can talk him in to accepting a ride.

Precautions are taken. Small children cannot be released from school unless the approved parent or caretaker picks them up. Bedroom windows are closed and locked at night.

Young girls abducted have been imprisoned for extended periods of time without discovery. They may have been chained inside a house. Some are threatened with a beating or other punishment if they attempt an escape.

Police should be called immediately upon witnessing an abduction. The witness should memorize as much of the license plate as possible. Try to recall any details about the abductor or his clothing.

The legal community bears a degree of responsibility in letting sexual predators out of prison to become repeat offenders. A psychiatrist may give testimony as to his rehabilitation. In truth, the rapist cannot be rehabilitated.

The reality is that any gambler can place odds on how soon he will abduct and rape another innocent child. Parents and other caretakers may take all precautions to no avail. How many more little ones must be abducted before the laws are revised to prevent the rights of the pervert to supercede the rights of the innocent.
