Child missing and abduction cases repeatedly rising all over the country and especially in Punjab and Sindh. But there is no solution with law enforcement agencies and police to fix the problem. Recently the Supreme Court (SC) expressed serious concern when it was informed of 30 child disappearances in 2018, particularly in Karachi. The SC three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar, was informed of this when it resumed hearing a constitutional petition, filed by the Roshni Research and Development Welfare (RRDW), against child disappearances. Many shreds of evidence show that these traffickers sell organs of these children like liver, lungs, and eyes. A piece of British news daily recently published a report about human organ transplantations, the report revealed that many Europeans are going for donations of humans organs, but they are not donated these organs are mostly illegally taking from Mafias and Humans tariffing through the exchange of money. Recently a police department has documented an analysis of child kidnapping/missing cases which shows that 44.1 percent of children left home due to their parents’ harsh behavior, 21.6 percent were lost and then found, 7.6 percent fled due to family disputes, 6.1 percent were abducted by one of the parents, 5.1 percent were recovered during the kidnapping attempt, 4.6 percent ran away due to maltreatment at madrasahs, 4.1 percent were abducted by their relatives, 2.3 percent were abducted for sexual abuse and 2.9 percent was due to miscellaneous factors. Children are among the most vulnerable in our society and have been used for everything from prostitution to working as child jockeys in the Gulf. Also, they are kidnapped for pedophilia, ransom, beggary, militancy, suicide bombing and even for extraction of vital organs On the other hand, the fear and increasing incidents of child abduction in Punjab, a safe haven for kidnappers, has also panicked the people and they have begun reacting violently after catching alleged kidnappers. It’s also a dangerous phenomenon with regard to social behavior. In most cases, the children have left their houses because of domestic violence or other personal reasons. But police have failed to recover them. The responsibility for this lies foremost with the police and state but their only policy for dealing with this horrifying trend is to bury head in the sand. Given this scenario, when I put up the questions before myself that can we ourselves stop this epidemic of child kidnapping? Can the vigilance, maturity and strategy prevent or at least curb the kidnapping of our children? I believe that much of the solution lies in our own hands indeed. Here are some strategies/suggestions for parents that can hopefully prevent the kidnappings of children and teens and lessen the trouble in case of any happening. Don’t send your child to open the door when someone knocks it. You should teach your child to ask first before opening the door. Don’t send your teen boy or girl at shop, playground and park alone. Accompany your children up to the school van and bring them back by yourself. Be sure about school van drivers. Get their details as well as information about their character and background. Parents should make secure the pick and drop of their kids from schools. Know the path your child takes to and from home to the school bus stop or the school. Tell your children to avoid short cuts through woods, alleys, parks, or other areas where they could be alone. Don’t leave your children alone or unattended outside your home. Supervise your kids in places like malls, movie theaters, parks and markets. Never leave kids alone in a car or stroller, even for a minute. Choose caregivers — babysitters, childcare providers, and nannies — carefully and check their references. Talk to your kids about strangers. Give them the basics of how to avoid strangers. Teach them not to accept candy or gifts from a stranger. Never go anywhere with a stranger, even if it sounds like fun. If you are confident enough about your kids, you can frankly teach them about how to escape a dangerous situation, run away and scream if someone follows or tries to force into a car. Tell them to scream as loud as they can and fight back with all their might. If your kids are old enough to stay home alone, make sure they keep the door locked and never tell anyone who knocks or calls they are home alone. Tell your kids to remember the phone number of parents, and if children feel concerned for their safety at school or outside somewhere, they should immediately tell their parents. Despite all the above precautions, if your child is abducted, keep in mind that the first few hours are the most critical in missing-child cases, it’s important to provide police with information about your child immediately, especially their photos.
