Kidnapping is the taking away of a person against their will. It’s usually done for ransom or as a part of another crime. In addition, it’s often committed in connection with a child custody dispute.
According to Black's Law Dictionary, the crime of kidnapping is labeled ABDUCTION when the victim is an adult female. Currently, the kidnapping or abduction of a child is often called child stealing, particularly when NOT done to collect a ransom… but rather with the intention of keeping the child permanently. (Also known as "child napping").
Legally speaking, child abduction can refer to children being taken away without their parents' consent but WITH the consent of the child.
“Bride kidnapping” is a term relating to any bride physically 'abducted' against the will of her PARENTS, even if she is willing to marry the 'abductor'. This is seen amongst certain nomadic peoples of Central Asia.
In my observation, a more probable threat for an Executive Protection is tiger kidnapping.
“Tiger kidnapping” is the taking of an innocent hostage to make some else (a loved one or an associate of the kidnapped person) do something, e.g. a wife is taken hostage to force the bank manager to open the safe.
For this reason, it’s important to ensure your contract specifically states who you will & will not protect. If your client wants their family protected as part of your scope of responsibilities… higher fees should be charged.
