The abduction of a child is a tragedy. No one can fully understand or appreciate what a parent goes through at such a time, unless they have faced a similar tragedy. Every parent responds differently. Each parent copes with this nightmare in the best way he or she knows how.

The U.S. has taken an active role in wars from Libya to the Central African Republic, sent special ops forces into countries from Somalia to South Sudan, conducted airstrikes and abduction missions, even put boots on the ground in countries where it pledged it would not.

People that have had genuine abduction experiences that I've met that seem very genuine to me, but they're just confused about why it happened. I've met a lot of people like which I regard as being very genuine... but there's a lot of crazy people out there.

Abduction in legal use always refers to a criminal act, often associated with kidnapping.

Crime Related

Abduction usually involves secrecy, stress on stealth or surprise in the act.

Covert Action

The term implies use of force or threats, not a voluntary act by the victim.

Force or Threat

In medical context, abduction means moving a limb or other part away from the body.

Physical Movement

Don't confuse medical 'abduction' with its emotional sense; it strictly describes physical action.
