abductions
Taking people away
Abductions are acts of taking someone away by force or deception, typically against their will.
The term applies both to criminal kidnappings and to claimed extraterrestrial encounters where people report being taken aboard spacecraft.
In legal contexts, abduction often specifically refers to taking a child or dependent person.
The abductions were linked to a human trafficking ring.
