Why is preventing kidnapping important?

Answer 1

The impact of family abduction can be devastating and long lasting for both the children involved and their family members left behind. Historically, the response of the professional community has been more reactive than pro-active or preventive. In recent years, however, the issue of missing and abducted children has captured the nation's attention through the media's depiction of high profile child abduction cases. Public concern has resulted in the development of numerous prevention education programs focusing on "stranger danger," or the prevention of an abduction by someone unknown to the victim child and/or family. Although no one can dispute the Horror and significance of a child abducted by a stranger, this is the least likely type of abduction to occur. A child is more likely to be abducted by someone he or she knows and trusts. The abductor is most likely to be a parent, family member or an individual once involved in a romantic relationship with the parent.

Although not every family abduction is preventable, steps can be taken to help reduce the possibility. This paper will include some practical preventive approaches for professionals, parents, and guardians.
