Well, there is always someone who is single and cannot get a girlfriend/boyfriend. Or they cannot get a baby. They find out about children and think they are horrible brats/ cute little things. They travel to a village/city (they end up staying in a village) and try to trick a child into getting into there van. I know this much because I am 9 myself and there are kidnappers out in my village. They tried to get my friends.
extreme jealousy, pervertedness, etc.

Why do people want to kidnap?
Asked by Wiki User
To kidnap means to abduct, steal, or take someone, often by physical force or coercion. People kidnap to exert power and control over another person, to take what they want, even though a human cannot and should never be 'owned'. Kidnappers have all sorts of "reasons" for abduction or kidnapping--but all their reasons are illegal and criminal.
How do get abducted in real life?
Asked by Wiki User
You can get kidnapped really easily. If any stranger calls you ,don't go to them! if any body in a car is like "Hey you know where East gate mall is?" NEVER EVER go to them ! I'm talkin about any address they ask you cause they can carry you and throw you in their car or van whatevr vehicle!!! If a kidnapper drops somethin and tells you to pick it up DON'T cause when you duck down to pick the "whatever" up they can carry you and put you in a bag and throw you in their vehicle and tie you in there and sell you. If some stranger grabs you scream FIRE! this one really works : If some guy is about to grab you Kick their Dick seriously I mean it and run away and if you have your cell what do you do??? Call 911 or run in to a store or somethin and ask for help. Remember if any stranger is calling you just yell Sorry I gotta go my dads callin me or my moms callin me and run away. never ever take shortcuts because you get easily kidnapped and one last thing never walk alone always have a group to walk with so yah pretty much that's it

What shouldn't a person do during a hostage rescue attempt?
Asked by Wiki User
If you are a rescuer, don't discount the captives. Don't put killing or apprehending the captors before the victims. Of course, there are times when you may be ordered to make killing the captors the primary objective, such in a case of terrorism or a politically-motivated abduction.
If you are a victim or a rescuer, you don't want to insult the hostage takers. Name-calling may be tolerated in the movies, but in real life, that could push them to do something really bad.
If you are being rescued, you don't want to make any sudden moves or get in the way of the rescuers. It is possible for you to be misidentified as a captor.
What is the factors of kidnapping?
Asked by Wiki User
Kidnapping is generally defined as the abduction of another person with intent to:
- Hold him for ransom or reward; or
- Use him as a shield or hostage; or
- Accomplish or aid the commission of any felony or flight therefrom; or
- Inflict physical injury upon him, or to violate or abuse him sexually; or
- Terrorize him or a third person; or
- Interfere with the performance of any governmental or political function.
Abduction may be made by secreting or holding a person in a place where he is not likely to be found, or using or threatening to use deadly physical force. Unlawful imprisonment is similar to kidnapping, but involves the restraint of movement of a person, as opposed to an abduction.
Laws vary by state - consult the law in your state to determine the required elements of the offense applicable to your jurisdiction.
If a 16-year-old and a 19-year-old run away in the state of Tennessee can the 19-year-old be charged with kidnapping?
Asked by Wiki User
It could happen. That is difficult, you can be brought back to your parents at any time, as you are considered a child being only 16, the police could pick you up and take you back home and yes they could charge him with Harboring a Runaway Child (Penal Code) at their and your parents discretion, but I am not sure about kidnapping. I would say wait until you turn 18, as then no one can stop you being with him! Also if he loves you he wont mind waiting a couple of years, show your maturity now, and when you turn 18 your parents may be happier to actually help you two move in together!! * The 19-year old is an adult and could be charged with several criminal offenses pertaining to N.C. "crimes against underage persons" statutes. However, kidnapping would not apply such charges relate to the forceful, unlawful removing and/or detainment of a person or persons against their will.

If a unmarried mother takes a child away from his father is this considered kidnapping?
Asked by Wiki User
No, because the dad is in charge of the safety of the child too.
Saving your childNot really. That is protecting your child from danger. But you would still need a court order to keep the child or atleast the mother's permission.Can a mother be charged with parental kidnapping if she takes her child out of state and she was never married to the father?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, if:
- The father retains sole physical custody of the child, the mother has visitation rights and took the child out-of-state during a time she did NOT have visitation with the child; OR
- The father retains sole physical custody of the child, the mother has absolutely no parental rights to the child and took the child out-of-state at any time.
No, if:
- There is a custody arrangement in place, whether as a written or oral agreement between the her and the father, or as an Order for Child Custody, and the mother retains primary or joint (equally shared) physical custody of the child; OR
- There is no custody arrangement in place between her and the father, and there is no Order for Child Custody in place, but she retains primary or sole physical custody of the child and/or the father never bothered to petition for custody; OR
- There is a custody agreement in place between her and the father, or there is an Order for Child Custody, and the father retains primary or sole physical custody of the child, IF the mother has visitation rights and chose to take the child out-of-state while she had visitation with the child;
- Just about any other scenario, other than the two described above under "yes," not otherwise described here.
To sum this up, no, the mother probably cannot be charged with parental kidnapping simply for taking her child out of state. The mother has a legal right to travel wherever she chooses with her child unless a court tells her otherwise. In fact, the mother may move out-of-state with the child permanently if she so chooses, and there is nothing the father can do.
The fact that the mother and the father were never married is completely irrelevant. The only difference between unmarried parents and divorced parents, is that divorced parents usually submit a custody plan to (or, more often, one parent receives an Order for Primary Physical Custody from) the family court, which explicitly outlines which parent has custody and which has visitation. If the parents never married, and the child lives with the mother, she is the custodial parent (which means she has primary physical custody of the child) and she can take the child wherever she pleases, whenever she wishes. The father has no legal claim to or right to control how the mother cares for the child while she retains custody, and the mother is certainly not required to seek permission or even notify the father of her intent to leave the state with her child so long as she retains custody,

How to prevent kidnapping?
Asked by Wiki User
Know exactly where your children are at all times.or if you're a kid stay by a trusted adult...
Also make sure you trust your children before letting them off the street, or out of your sight. Also, make sure they carry a functioning mobile phone with credit, just in case anything does happen.
Give your child a curfew, and punish them if they exceed it. This way that will learn it's importance.
