Domestic Child Abduction At A Glance

Child abduction in the United States is a crime that has implications that extend beyond the initial fear and worry when a child is found missing. Children who are abducted and removed from their familiar environments are never the same again, as the experience often scars them both emotionally and psychologically. The seriousness of this crime was realized as a result of a number of high profile cases occurring in the late 70s and early 80s.
