Child abduction

Child abduction is the abduction or kidnapping of a young child (or baby) by an older person.

Removal by stranger

Women who kidnap babies to bring up as their own are typically unable to have children of their own. The crime is often premeditated, with the woman often simulating pregnacy to reduce suspicion when a baby suddenly appears in the household.
