Did anybody try to kidnap you

[paradoxical 1,735]

I picked up a safe side anti-kidnapping thing from the library (for my kids to listen to) and was wondering how often adults actually try to kidnap kids.

 

I don't remember any occurrences in my life.

 

I'm not going to stop teaching stranger safety even if the poll ends up with 0 attempts.

Yes, when I was about 6 years old.

 

I used to throw the football around by myself in the yard, and one day a man came up to the fence and asked to play catch with me. I started throwing the ball back and forth, and the guy said he wanted to show me a different ball in his car. Being an oblivious little kid, I agreed. As I was about to exit the fence, my step-dad came outside and the guy immediately fled.

 

Turns out, the guy was a convicted sex offender and was later arrested again. If my step-dad hadn't have randomly stepped outside, I might not be here today.

No, that never happened to me. But, I do hear about these things quite a lot in the news.

Wow, dude, I'm sorry to hear that. There are some messed up motherf****ers in this world

When I was a kid I was a boss. No one tried to kidnap me because then they would meet my two strong fists.

 

And now, i'm still as boss.

[Freewave 1,145]

Nope never happened. I actually used to take 2 public bus lines with a transfer to go to school by myself. Not sure I'd do the same thing in this day and age but I'm not sure if it's more dangerous now or if we're more hyper aware of the worst of what can happen. 

[The Dark Lord 332]

Yes I was.Later, the an who kidnapped me brought me back to my house, called the police, put the handcuffs o himself, and said, I quote, "Please get me away from that thing." He was terribly rude now that I think about it.

[Deae Rising Shine~ 55,438]

Not that I know or remember. It's hard when sitting most of the day home But also sooner, nope.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

Nope! I've never been kidnapped or even had someone try to kidnap me. I guess I should be thankful, but really, that stuff doesn't happen too often.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

no because when I was a child I looked like I would stab the next thing I saw move I wore all black with a black hoodie and I would always have the hood covering my eyes but my OC has been abducted before does that count

The only option for them is to take me down 

[Jeric 46,851]

Looking at some of the comments in the thread.

No. Same with my two daughters (THANK GOD). This is one of my greatest fears, unfounded as it may seem ... child abduction does happen. It is frequently a family member (ex in a custody batter for example).

[Movealge 104]

Nope, No-one has attempted to kidnap me before and I hope it stays that way! I stay inside my house a lot of the time so chances of someone trying to kidnap me are pretty low.

[Envy 6,162]

I *might* have had a close call, although I can't say that for certain.

 

I just remember sometime when I was really young I was out in the front yard playing by myself and I remember this goldish car drove up and stopped. Inside was what I remember to be a bald-headed man who stopped and (I think, although it may be a fabrication in my mind) stared at me with a creepy grin.

 

I ran back to the house really quick, thankfully. My mom was scared to death when I told her... Back then I don't remember understanding the seriousness of the situation since I was so young. In fact, if he was really there to kidnap me it could have just as easily happened because I don't even remember what exactly it was I thought that made me run inside. o.O

[Gravelord Neat-O 305]

yeah, my dad tried kidnapping me from my mom. This was when my mom and dad were going through a divorce.......

 

 

uh oh, i've said too much about my personal life, time to skidaddle.

 

no, but seriously, my dad tried kidnapping me.

[Invincible 2,091]

There was a creepy guy who tried to kidnap me and my friends when we were about 12 or 13 i think, but we gave him the slip. We could see him following us as we walked along the streets, but being so small and such, we took him to an alley we knew of which had a crack in a wall through which we could fit to the other side and escaped.

[Khaoios 1,970]

No, that never happened to me. But, I do hear about these things quite a lot in the news.

 

Exactly this........yet, if god forbid someone did...........they'd pretty much come face to face with a 12 gauge. 

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Fortunatly no one has ever tried to kidnap me (it may have had something to do with my size as a child, as i was both rather tall for my age and incredibly overweight), but I have responded to attempted kidnaping calls, and they are never a good thing to deal with.

[DubWolf 17,263]

Nope. *knocks on wood* Unfortunately, there have been several people (journalists) who have been taken hostage in Syria and around, and well, they've apparently been killed on tape .

[Moss 95]

Maybe,I can't remember.My various attempts to kidnap world leaders have been thwarted thus far though

[Nulln 755]

yeah, probably more than once.  i just remember one time.  i was at a mall with my fake aunt.  and then she went into a store or i wandered off or something.  some old man tried to get me to come with him, but then my fake aunt found me and said that i wasn't lost and then drug me away.  lol

 

i saved my little sister when her dad tried to kidnap her when she was a baby.  he grabbed her and was trying to open the front door, but i blocked it until someone could get her out of his arms.
