Kidnapping is defined as knowingly restraining someone with a specific intent to do something. This may be to collect a ransom, use a person as a hostage, or have someone do involuntary work. Other intentions may be to injure a person or to interfere with the operation of an airplane, bus, train, or other form of transportation.
Kidnapping is the moving of another person a substantial distance against their will. A principle defense to a kidnapping charge is consent or at least a good faith belief that the other person consented. The person being moved may however withdraw his or her consent at any time. At that point it is kidnapping to continue to hold the person. A sentence for kidnapping is up to 8 years in prison. If the victim is abused or injured the penalties are higher.
Kidnapping is a very serious crime in both the eyes of the Massachusetts and federal governments. Kidnapping, may be charged both federally or locally. It is defined as whoever, without lawful authority, forcibly or secretly confines, or imprisons another person, or forcibly carries someone out of state (or across state lines for federal charges) against their will. The sentence in Massachusetts for a first offense of kidnapping is up to ten years in state prison. The penalties are increased for second, subsequent kidnapping offenses and are enhanced if weapons are involved, injuries sustained and/or given the nature of offense or age/vulnerability of the victim. The crime of parental kidnapping allows for a sentence of up to five years in state prison, up conviction in Massachusetts.
These simple tips can be helpful in all locations, but disturbingly, many countries pose far more serious risks and for this reason Pilgrims Group and other firms offer more intensive training regarding how to avoid kidnapping. Methods include not always taking the same route, understanding local trouble spots, dressing so as not to stand out in a crowd, always knowing who your driver is, who you are meeting and what they look like, and staying aware of the exact location of offices.
Also, many women and girls in parking lots and malls all over the country are getting out of or into their cars looking at their smart phones, all the while a kidnapper is plotting his moves to grap the women or girl, never to be seen by her friends or family again. The video below shows how bad this situation is now a days.

Let’s say that you and a friend stopped to get gas. You waited in the car while he went inside to pay. He returned to the car with a bag full of money and the clerk from the gas station. He had robbed the store and was kidnapping the clerk so the clerk wouldn’t be able to report the crime.
Often times people don’t realize how a small altercation with one’s spouse or a family member can quickly spiral out of control. Once the other person decides they don’t want to go somewhere, if they are forced to go into a vehicle or if they are taken to another location against their will, then it can become a case of kidnapping; this can even happen with somebody’s own friends. Kidnapping doesn’t always have to be the same as it is in the movies where a young child or someone’s wife is kidnapped for ransom; it can simply involve taking your own child away from their custodial parent or even locking someone in a room against their will.
Methods include not always taking the same route, understanding local trouble spots, dressing so as not to stand out in a crowd, always knowing who your driver is, who you are meeting and what they look like, and staying aware of the exact location of offices.
