Kidnapping

Child Abduction• About half of the kidnapped children in the U.S are 4 to 11 years old. 74% of them are girls.
• The FBI receives more than 2,000 missing child reports every day. That means 2,000 yesterday, 2,000 today and 2,000 tomorrow.
• According to the Vanished Children's Alliance, every 40 seconds a child disappears or is kidnapped in the United States.
(National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2005)

Child Abduction by a stranger Child Abduction by a stranger usually ends
badly. Most of the kids aren’t prepared for the reality of "stranger danger" and, therefore, tend to trust unknown adults.
• Each year, approximately 58,000 missing children are abducted by non-family members. Typically, strangers who kidnap children commit their crimes with the intent to harm their young victims.
• In nearly 80 percent of non family child abduction cases, the victim is sexually assaulted or physically abused by the perpetrator.
(children, 2006)

Facts about child abduction
• In around 75% of all murder-abductions, the child is believed to be dead within 3-6 hours of the abduction.
• They estimate around 20 failed attempts for every successful abduction.
• Seven in ten children will walk away with a stranger despite being warned, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
(Studies,1997)

Why do we care?
• It terrorizes society• Takes away your freedom• Kidnapping is a ripple effect on emotions with the
family onto friends then into society• Having someone you know being kidnapped can
ruin your life.• Kidnapping can cost a large amount of money for
search & rescue, private individuals trying to help, tax payers and court.
