Talk:Kidnapping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is absolutely nothing in the definition of "abduction" that refers to the sex of the victim, it's merely a synonym for kidnapping. 3. (Law) The wrongful, and usually the forcible, carrying off of a human being; as, the abduction of a child, the abduction of an heiress.

[edit] Sudan?
"... presently in some parts of the world, (such as southern Sudan) kidnapping ..." Is this a provable fact? Slavery in Sudan does say that this is disputed. And the 'such as southern Sudan' does not enhance the explanation really.
I am the one who added the last comment. I have subsequently deleted the disputed fact. If you have any comment, please do. --Karouri 18:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] False imprisonment
The article says that false imprisonment is a common law offense [sic] in English law.
Is false imprisonment an offence, or merely an actionable wrong (tort)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.52.124 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Black Ops Mission to recover the president's daughter?
The United States Government does not spend $70 Billion on black ops missions to recover the president's daughter. This is unverified and completely false. Pbdsc (talk) 14:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
