Abductions are a terrifying ordeal and every parent’s worst nightmare. What can you do as a parent to help? If you want your children to be less helpless, start by educating them as soon as possible. Children are highly impressionable, so you must emphasize the importance of the steps children should take if approached by a stranger. Young children don’t know any better, and a child who grows up in a loving household may think that you can trust all adults. However, the world can be a dangerous place and you definitely know not all adults can be trusted.

What are Abductions?

Abductions are when a person tries to forcibly remove you from where you were, to be taken along with them. Common abduction tropes include the “man in the white van” and are more likely to happen than you may think.

The Reality of Child and Adult Abductions

According to the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrown away Children (NISMART), 41% of abductions happen during the summer term break. You might want to think twice before leaving your kid unchaperoned in a park or the pool where who knows what a stranger can do to them.

Some tips that have been given parents include keeping their child busy with a social schedule regulated by them: one where they make sure they know where their child is at all times and who they’re with. Parents are also encouraged to build trust with neighbors (but be cautious as well, as sometimes danger can be closer than you think) and ask them to keep an eye out for their child. Parents should tell their children that they themselves are trustworthy adults, and that their child can come to them if and whenever an adult has made them uncomfortable or made them feel unsafe.

How can Abduction Defense Techniques help?

Abduction defense techniques are highly useful as they teach kids how to deal with situations that arise, and the techniques are specific to their age group. Some introductory self-defense classes teach children verbal skills and body language to help discourage potential attackers, though sometimes this is not enough as they are so much stronger. Corporate Krav Maga equips children with the physical skills that are necessary for the child to be able to protect themselves.
