Q:  Is my child likely to be abducted by a stranger?

A:  According to a 2002 report from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 115 children tragically experienced “stereotypical kidnappings”, defined as abductions perpetrated by a stranger or slight acquaintance and involving a child who was transported 50 or more miles, detained overnight, held for ransom or with the intent to keep the child permanently or, killed. In 44% of the “stereotypical kidnappings” the child was killed or never found. This equates to 51 children or approximately one child per state, per year. These “stereotypical kidnappings”, are the group of very unfortunate incidents that the media uses to create an unnecessary fear in parents, caregivers, and children.  If one analyses other risk areas that contribute to child injury or fatality, the risk of a “stereotypical kidnapping” is not very high.
