CBS Cares is running several public service announcements concerning child abductions. This one provides some tips for WHAT IF AN ABDUCTOR APPROACHES MY CHILD?
“If someone tries to abduct your child, your child should resist every step of the way.”-Supervisory Special Agent Mick Fennerty of the FBI's Crimes Against Children Unit
GENERAL INFORMATION
"...It could happen in the time it takes to snap your fingers: Your child could disappear. In 1999, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency (OJJDP) reported that there were 58,200 non-family abductions. Fifty percent of children kidnapped in non-family abductions were taken from the street, in a vehicle, or from a park or wooded area. Many didn't know what to do. It happens too often and you can prevent it from happening to your child if you take the time to talk to them. In an interview with CBS Cares, Agent Fennerty of the FBI who specializes in investigating crimes against children, including child abduction cases, conveyed that it is never too early to start training your child to protect themselves from being abducted. Learn what your child should do in a dangerous situation, so you can teach them what to do to avoid being snatched and what to do if snatched! Know what they can do to save themselves. .."
