Kidnapping Speeech
Today my daughter asked me if it was okay if she could go for a walk around the block, I was a little hesitant but I found no harm in it so I said yes. If I would’ve know what happened next my immediate response would’ve been NO. Someone took her; she hasn’t come home since that day. I can’t live myself knowing that I’m the one who allowed her to go, I don’t know where she is or if she’s even alive. You can’t imagine how that feels, you guys lose your phones or wallets and find them in the next couple of days, but I lost my daughter and I don’t know if I’m ever going to find her. Good morning, today I will be talking to you about child abductions. I will be telling you a real life story from three different perspectives, recent statistics about abductions for Canada and the United States, and the three different types of kidnaping.
Hi, my name is Shawn Hornbeck and I am an eleven year old boy from Richwoods, Missouri. I come from a loving home and family. On October 6th 2002 I decided to go for a bike ride, although at the time it seemed like a great idea, that day turned out to be the day my life was changed forever. I was abducted by a strange man I have never seen before, I was terrified. But the weeks after my abduction were even more painful, I was tied to a sofa bed and tape was put on my mouth and was only untied when he got home. A month after he took me, he told me he was going to take me back home, I was over joyed. We got into the car and headed in the direction of my home, but when he made a wrong turn I knew he had never intended on bringing me back. I pleaded for my life and told him I would do anything he wanted if he spared my life. He never killed me and ever since that day I was never tied up. He acted like a great father in public but no one knew what he did to me at home. Four years later he took me into his car and made me watch him abduct another boy named Ben.

    “It’s like a crater, a hole where something happened” (Donoghue 321). Yet, this crater is flooded with so much more than the dust that provides a thin sheet of remembrance between the event in time and reality. It symbolizes not only the loss of innocence, but also the stripping away of freedom, both intellectually and physiologically, leaving the victim with a deluge of emotional struggles as he or he begins their journey towards a sense of normalcy. Unfortunately, this brutal reality is apparent for every single kidnapping victim.…

    Human trafficking is a criminal act of abducting vulnerable people like children and even adults in demand for money or other huge prizes from the families of the victims. Some mechanisms and strategies have been put in place to reduce and curb this act that is endangering children and also some adults in the UK.

    In the town of South Lake Tahoe, children played safely outside, the sun always seemed to be shining, and laughter was a common sound. Everyone knew one another and crime ratings were close to zero. Due to the town’s “child-friendly” nature, the Dugard family called this place home (Hawkins). However, on June 10, 1991, a fiery nightmare exploded into reality for eleven year-old Jaycee Dugard. Walking towards the bus stop, Jaycee was dragged into a grey sedan (Hawkins). Jaycee’s stepfather Carl Probyn witnessed this gut-wrenching act from down the street and tried unsuccessfully to trail the car on a bike. (Tresniowski). Jaycee’s mother, Terry, lost control of her emotions after her daughter’s kidnapping (Tresniowski). The ordeal also eventually caused Terry and Carl to split (Hawkins). Before the divorce, they put forth tremendous efforts to find their missing daughter, such as producing more than 500,000 posters (Tresniowski). Thankfully, Miss Dugard was found alive in 2009 in the Bay Area (Hawkins); however, Jaycee’s abductors, Phillip and Nancy Garrido, can only be described as severely disturbed. During Jaycee’s captivity, she lived in the trash-infested, “hell-warren” backyard compound of the Garrido’s (Tresniowski). As well as a horrendous living environment, Jaycee gave birth to two daughters fathered by Phillip Garrido during her eighteen years of hell on Earth (Hawkins). The basic facts of this story are famous nation-wide; however, most individuals are clueless as to why Jaycee wasn’t rescued for so long and how she survived. Because of mistakes made by police and other officials and Garrido’s master criminal mind, Jaycee was not rescued for eighteen years, during which her methods of survival kept her alive.…
