I read in the newspaper that a 17-year-old girl was kidnapped in Namsos about two weeks ago. The police are reporting that an unknown man dragged her into a car. 22 hours later she was found in Oslo. The person who found her thought she was related to drug dealing, but that was clearly not the case.
During the kidnap she wore something that covered her eyes, and she did not talk to her kidnapper. That led to her being unable to recognize either the man, or the car she was forced into. Therefore, the police have no further leads that can help them track the one who committed this crime. It is not yet known if she was sexual abused.
The police are reporting that the girl was exposed to a very traumatic situation. She is now joining a helping centre to deal with her feelings. The young girl was brutally treated and she was in a bad condition when she was found. Though, she is slowly recovering from the accident. She is at the moment back at school.
Kidnapping is a crime that is very difficult to control. People around the world are being exposed to this unfortunate crime every day. Luckily for this young girl, the ending was brighter than for many other victims.
Do you have any suggestions of how to avoid kidnapping?
What can we do individually, and what can authorities do?

It is almost impossible to avoid kidnapping because it is the individuals who perform these actions, but there are certain precautions you can relate to:
1.NEVER go alone at night
2.Always have your cell phone available
3.Do not have too much bags in your hands. Keep them free so you can fight back
You are quite right there. Your point of view makes good sense and I agree with the fact that it is impossible to avoid this kind of crime.
It is up to individuals to prepare themselves for unexpected surprises such as kidnapping.
I believe that it is impossible to stop kidnapping, because kidnapping can happen anywhere and anytime. So I do not think that is possible too completely stop kidnapping, but I think we all can prepare us better. We may be more careful with which people we spend our time with and which people we can trust.
I believe kidnapping is a normal thing in these days, and it is not a thing who just stops. As Andreas L said, you should never go alone at night and always have the phone available.
I think it's impossible to prevent kidnapping.
i think its impossible to avoid kidnapping, because nobody knows what tyhe kidnappers think, but if people dont walk alone at nigth time its possible to avoid it
A lot of the comments to this blog, says that it is impossible to stop kidnapping. In one way, I can understand this. In another way,
it is wrong to say so. We must never give up the fight against criminal people. What kind of society would we have if not?
But of course, for an individual it is hard to fight a person who is stronger than you. Maybe you could scream or do anything to
get other peoples attention.
A tip to prevent kidnapping, is that you must be careful and always be with friends in the evenings.
Kidnappers takes women who are walking alone or is a very easy to get in the car. If you see something weird, help
them or call someone, you can maybe prevent a kidnapping.
The world has faced many kidnappings and many have survived, and many have unfortunately died. Most of the kidnappings happen very quickly, and it can also take minutes before family notice that their nearest has disappeared.
To delete kidnappers they need to get stricter laws for their action.
To avoid kidnapping in public/large population places everyone need to have contact whole the time, not get their nearest out of sight. Hold hands or something like that.
In this days, more people get kidnapp'd. I think it is dificult to stop kidnapping, but i think it's a good idea to not go alone in the evening and nights. And as Tom said, have the mobile phone avaiable.
