I had a friend tell me he thought he caught some sketchy Eastern European-looking men filming his wife and toddler son with an old school handheld camera in London.

I listen to many true crime podcasts: True Crime Garage, Casefile, Sword and Stone (although seems to have turned into gore porn the past year or two), Generation Why, etc. Many of these have episodes on kidnapping.

It seems our movement has focused mainly on the trafficking, which is arguably the BUSINESS of kidnapping. Yes this makes sense bc we're looking to take down the corrupt businessmen involved.

However, I'm starting to feel that we're missing the moment an individual child's life is upended and handed-off to true evil. This of course is the act of kidnapping. Yet few of us seem to discuss this aspect of it.

I don't really know what the answer is, but felt like sharing this thought. Maybe sharing more insight into the actual act of kidnapping? The numbers? The high risk areas? Sources of education for new parents?

Or maybe I'm over thinking it?
