child abductions

1. There are 3 types of abductions

When a stranger takes a child away for criminal purposes (such as sexual assault or ransom – the latter would be classified as a kidnapping in South Africa);
When a child is stolen to be brought up by the abductor;
When a parent removes a child from the other parent's care.
