US kidnapping statistics have not been routinely kept, and is not one of the crimes included in the FBI’s national Uniform Crime Reporting database.
• There is approximately one child abduction murder for every 10,000 missing child reports.
• It is possible that the crime was committed by a family member. Finkelhor & Ormrod state that family kidnapping is committed primarily by parents, and has a 43% likelihood of being the female partner, much higher than in other kidnapping types.
• Family kidnapping happens equally to children of both sexes.
• 49% of juvenile kidnapping offences are family kidnappings, 27% acquaintance kidnappings and only 24% are stranger kidnappings.
• Acquaintance kidnapping involves a “comparatively high percentage of juvenile perpetrators, has the largest percentage of female and teenage victim, is more often associated with other crimes (especially sexual and physical assault), occurs at homes and residences and has the highest percentage of injured victims.”
• Stranger kidnapping “victimizes more females than males, occurs primarily at outdoor locations, victimizes both teenagers and school-age children, is associated with sexual assaults in the case of girl victims and robberies in the case of boy victims, and is the type of kidnapping most likely to involve the use of a firearm.”
It's smarter the have a Code Amber Alertag and not need it than to need it and not have one.

PARENTAL CHILD-SNATCHING IS EPIDEMIC
Parental kidnapping is the abduction and/or concealment of a child without the consent of the other parent. Over 200 cases of parental child abduction – child snatching, child stealing, and child abduction – occur each day in the United States.
When non-custodial parents resort to kidnapping, they believe they are acting in the best interests of their children. Although a minority of parental kidnappers may actually save their children by taking them out of the reach of the other parent, the motives of most parents who abduct their children are not for altruistic reasons.
Although the majority of parents who kidnap their children attempt to justify their behavior as the only way to ensure the best interests of the child, the child’s best interests are usually not considered.
Unlike other services, CodeAmber.com will post alerts for parentally kidnapped children and do its best to distribute the descriptions of the parties involved across the continental US and the provinces of Canada without the narrow requirements required to publish an Amber Alert.

New guidelines for N.J. Amber Alerts are less rigid after alleged East Orange baby abduction by father
The state's current rules discourage using the alerts, intended to notify the public about missing children, in domestic custody cases.
The changes come in the wake of a February incident during which a father allegedly abducted his 3-month-old daughter then threw her off the Driscoll Bridge into the Raritan River. No Amber Alert was ready to be issued until four hours after the abduction, when the father was already arrested.

Imminent meant now, not latter for little Zara.
A top New Jersey official ordered an inquiry into why no Amber Alert was issued in the alleged abduction of Zara, a three-month-old infant by her father, who told police he tossed her into the Raritan River.
Acting Attorney General Paula Dow has ordered the state police to review the timeline in the case and New Jersey's criteria for Amber Alerts, which authorities said are not typically issued in abductions involving family members. Authorities said initial information in the case did not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert. By the time more was known and an alert was to be issued.

Where Kidnappings Occur
A study conducted in 1999 by the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Throwaway Children or NISMART, found that in over 70% of stranger kidnapping victims were taken from outdoor areas like parks and playgrounds, and 7% were taken from public buildings like shopping malls.
Of these cases, approximately 90% are committed by males who are between 20-40 years old. In these cases, the child is returned alive less than 60% of the time. 4% are never found.
Most child abductions are perpetrated by family members. While the chances of a stranger abducting one’s child are slim, those who do get abducted by strangers are often sexually abused and killed. Many other children are detained or sexually assaulted by strangers, acquaintances or family members. Providing reasonable supervision to children and teaching kids to be safe without subjecting them to paralyzing fear is the most difficult task of parents.

Most child custody violators do not consider their actions illegal or morally wrong
Family abduction of children has become a serious concern in the
Abducting parents are likely to have very young children (the mean age is 2–3). Such children are easier to transport and conceal, are unlikely to verbally protest, and may be unable to tell others their name or other identifying information. Older children who are taken or retained in violation of custody orders are usually those who are particularly vulnerable to influence or have colluded with the abducting parent.
Most abducting parents (except those characterized as paranoid delusional) are likely to have the support of a social network—family, friends, cultural communities, cult-like groups, or an underground dissident movement—that provides not only practical assistance (money, food, lodging) but also emotional and moral support to validate the abducting parent’s extralegal actions.
