The importance of alerting children to the danger of kidnapping.
Although in this case the incident did not happen any further and the minor counted on his father’s quick reaction so that he would not be taken away, it is important to make the children aware of the dangers and guide them on what they can do.
And in 2018, the case of a girl in Phoenix, Arizona, who avoided being kidnapped thanks to the guidance of her parents, was announced.
According to reports, the minor was walking through a park when a white van approached them. The driver assured her that her brother had suffered a serious accident and that she had to accompany him. But the girl told her that to do it she needed to give him the code word that she had agreed upon with her parents. Since the man did not know the answer, he fled the scene. With that small action the little girl saved her life.
