Dad said he was going to the store and asked to take me along.
Mom and dad divorced.
They were still amicable.
He said he was going to the store and asked to take me along.
We lived in North Alabama, 15 miles south of TN.
He took me to South Alabama to Atmore, where he had some cousins.
Planned on keeping me.
I was around 4.
I told him I missed my mama.
He called her, let me talk to her and brought me home.

My father introduced his girlfriend to us by saying, This is your new mother.
Youll never see your other mother again.
We were living in Isphahan, Iran, in 1960.
My mom went on a long vacation in France that summer.
(He was scary.
We didnt ask.)
Youll never see your other mother again.
We then went to Majorca where Pat had a vacation house and met her three kids.
Meanwhile my mom had got back to Isphahan to no one.
She searched the house and found some discarded brochures for boarding schools in Europe.
She wrote to churches in several countries and asked them to ask at local schools if we were there.
I guess we were kidnapped for about four or five months.
My parents divorced, and Pat lost interest when she had the money.

My mothers parents are evil.
Just bags of skin filled with the toenail clippings of a human soul.
So my mother put me in the care of her parents.

My father took me on Halloween when I was 5.
My father took me on Halloween when I was 5.
He hurt me really bad one day and school got involved.
I was given to his mother who promptly moved him in where it continued.
I had to run away back to my original state to be with my mom.

Mom took me in defiance, then changed her mind and left me at a YMCA.
My mom was pissed my dad was getting custody in the divorce.
I guess she took me in defiance, then changed her mind and left me at a YMCA.
Never saw her again.
Its cool though, I think abandonment issues are gonna be all the rage in a few years.

My biological father kidnapped us from Iowa and took us to New Mexico.
So I was like 3, my sister was 4 and my brother was an infant.
Mom got on a bus and came to get us.
From my memory the whole thing seems like just a span of days, not months.
I never talked to him and he died when I was 16.
Of course, I dont associate with that side of the family at all either.

We were taken to some old castle and an indoor play gym called monkey something or other.
They apparently both had been drinking the whole day and were driving around drunk with us.
and took us back to my grans and there were police everywhere.

My mother and my aunt kidnapped me when I was 11.
I really dont know if I should tell it but I have to get it off my chest.
My mother and my aunt kidnapped me when I was 11.
Mom was kinda in a hurry.
My aunt let Something slip about a new flat, I didnt suspect anything until then.
Then I see the things my mom packed up.
Aunt tries to play it cool and tells me we visit my grandparents.
My aunt puts me in her car, locks the door and drives.
For hours I was in a shock.
I am so stunned I dont know what is happening.
Everyone tells me I will have a better life now.
I just want to see my pets, my sister and be at my home.
I didnt hear anything from my father and sister in months.
My mother doesnt let me leave the house unsupervised.
I get to walk to my grandparents with her, nothing more.
Beg my father to let me stay.
He says I cant.
I saw my father and sister twice.
My cat ran away and died.
Worst months in my younger days were yet to come, though.
I know its not a typical kidnapping, it was my family after all.
But looking back I consider it that, despite the fact it was my mother.
A petty act of selfishness and definitely not something an adult and a parent should do.
To clarify: my parents got divorced months after this incident.
Not before she took me with her.
Also unknown to me, she had stripped my dad off all his money including the house.
It was sold a few weeks later.
That is why he said I couldnt stay.

Good ole Pops answers and basically says, Fuck you.
Youll never see her again, and Ill make damn sure of it.
Youll never fucking see her again.
In a pitch-dark alley way at midnight.
A straight up beat down by a tiny pregnant woman to a damn Sasquatch of a man.
Its the most badass thing Ive ever heard of, personally.
Eventually, prior-mentioned alcoholic aunt answered and gave up my whereabouts, and my mom got me back.
Luckily or unluckilyI havent quite figured it out yet- my father died this past May.
Suicide by hanging in front of his drug buddies house in the middle of the night.
Unluckily because my younger brother took it really hard and blamed himself.
Mom never told him the worst of our dads actions, and he was our dads favorite.
Sorry for the wall of text.
I never have been the best at condensed writing.
I was returned safely after three or four days.

My family didnt even know I was gone and I was still asleep.

My teen mom came home one day to realize my biological father had taken me.
My teen mom came home one day to realize my biological father had taken me.
Apparently, she didnt know where I was for 3 months.
Thats all I know of the story.
I wasnt even 1 year old then so I have no recollection.
This story was also brought up randomly one day and I was like Oh…okay… Lol.
For some reason Ive never had the curiosity to ask more details.
Feels like a topic that should be left alone.

Went to meet my dad one day.
Was taken to the airport to look at planes.
A couple of hours later we had landed in my dads local airport.

Was there a few days and then sent (unattended) back home.
Had she known we were still at our airport, she would have been there in 45 mins.
We were with him for about 4 days and then sent back.

Mom went several months without knowing where we were or talking to us.
We lived in Ohio with our mom and were visiting our dad in Florida for the summer.
I was maybe 3 and my brother was 7 or so.
Nobody in his family would tell her where we were, either.
She went several months without knowing where we were or talking to us.
The 70s/early 80s were a weird time I guess, because nothing ever happened to him over it.
Like, not even in kindergarten yet.
I accidentally locked myself in the bathroom on that flight and scared myself shitless.
Hes a narcissistic assbag.

My brother and I were kidnapped from school.
I was 9 years old when my brother and I were kidnapped from school.
We were taken by our dad who is a meth addict and who we had a restraining order against.
He used to be a motivational speaker and was deeply respected in this community.
A serious thing that they chose to disregard.
I was just getting out of school when I saw him.
He was twitching his eyes through the crowd of kids and parents and teachers looking for us.
He looked manic with his eyes wide and messy hair.
I ran as fast as I could past him and into a crowd of kids.
I tried to duck and make myself small.
The bus driver called our names and said our dad was here.
We paid no attention.
Finally my brother relented and tried to coax me out of my seat and just accept defeat.
He left and then after arguing with the bus driver in a losing battle I got off the bus.
Anyway, this time was the most vivid and most recent.
That night he drove us around for hours.
He was rambling to himself and I kept telling him that he had to take us home.
Finally we ended up in the woods.
Once we were there there was an old van that he said was his.
Then from there he drove us around until the morning.
He is a terrifying man.
Drugs have made him into a reckless and crazy person who has tormented our lives.
I was like yeah I guess he did but it was just apart of life at that point.
Anyway, there it is.
There is a lot more to it than that but I didnt want to make it too long.
Feel free to ask questions.

My dad picked me up from school when I was in kindergarten…
It was during my mom and dads divorce.
I was like five so I dont remember much.
My dad picked me up from school when I was in kindergarten and we rushed back to the house.
He mentioned something about getting me a new one.
I remember the house being empty almost.
Then we get to his parents house thats like 15 or so minutes out of town by the base.
The screen was like those holographic 3D cards and theyd be pissed about me touching it.
I also remember eating Apple Jacks, and readingThe Velveteen Rabbit.
The paper was folded and at the folds it could be torn.
Then I remember playing this Ghostbusters game on this old ass computer thing on the floor.
It was green and the screen was black.
I dont remember going home, the rest of the thing, or anything.
He only did it to use me as a way to get all of her shit in the divorce.
You want your daughter, give me everything but the house.
That was only the beginning of the shit storm, so its probably good I blocked it out.
It got real ugly later on.
As in lots of police involvement and court.
Hes dead, though, so thats good.

My sister and I were kidnapped as babies in the mid 60s.
My sister and I were kidnapped as babies in the mid 60s.
I didnt see our dad until his mothers wake/funeral in 1992.
Pissed off and hurt doesnt even come close to how I felt learning all this shite.
And it was good that my grandmother was already dead.

My father kidnapped me for a few days when I was like two.
I dont remember most of it.
I do remember that he was why Ive always lived with my mother.
I finally talked to him 24 years later and he was a jackass.
Spent the whole time blaming everything on my family.
I realized I was better off without him.
Hes dead now and Im not.
Guess that means I made out better.

My dad kidnapped me and my brothers when we were little.
My dad kidnapped me and my brothers when we were little.
He was abusive and we werent supposed to see him for some time.
One day he showed up at my moms house and took us all.
My mom called the police he eventually got caught and we were taken back home.
Being 5 years old and someone who struggles with anxiety, this was a pretty terrifying experience.
I remember my dad was yelling at us and telling us that we arent going back home.

My parents separated when I was 6.
My dad was an alcoholic who wasnt ever really right in the head always doing and saying crazy things.
He had weekend visitation.
A day goes by and we dont go to school.
My sister and I are sleeping in a room in this random house with the housemates younger daughter.
Two beds and a walk-in closet.
Theres a butter knife jammed between the door frame and the handle to the closet.
I dont ask why.
Later that day my dad says hes taking me and my sister to a farm to see bunny rabbits!
Im excited as I love animals, I grew up with pet rats and cats.
Im super excited thinking I just got a pet rabbit!
My dad then goes to the walk-in closet with his buddy who owns the house I suppose.
They wiggle the butter knife out and fire up the door.
I see a big branch and fake plants and AstroTurf on the ground.
I look inside and there is a python about five feet long curled up on the floor.
My dad takes the bunny and throws it in.
I then proceed to watch this giant snake eat my bunny.
It terrified me and confused me.
He said we had to buy it food thats why we went to the bunny farm.
I go to sleep that night terrified that snake is going to escape and eat me and my sister.
The next day we still didnt go to school.
My dad says Im helping him build a fence in the front yard.
Enthusiastically, I help him dig post holes and cut material.
My dad goes inside for whatever reason and leaves me and my sister in the front yard.
My mom and grandma are frantic crying and saying they cant believe they found us.
My mom and grandma called the police but nothing really came of it within the first couple days.
At least thats what she told me when I got older.

My Mam kinda kidnapped me and my brother when I was 6 or 7 and he was 3.
One day my Mam told us we were going to visit her Mam about a seven-hour drive away.
After a while my Mam came up and told us we were never going back home again.
But we continued living at my grandparents until my Mam rented a house close to them.
I dont think my brother even remembers most of it.

I was technically kidnapped by my father when I was 9.
I was technically kidnapped by my father when I was 9.
My parents were going through a nasty divorce.
Which sucked becuase he lived in the next county over.
In August, my dads father died.
The funeral home was basically in between the county lines.
My mom knew full well.
She called the cops and reported my brother and I as being kidnapped.
Got pulled over a couple minutes from the funeral home.
He got handcuffed and put in the back of the police car.
He begged the officer.
After a few minutes, the officer let him go.
He called the judge and talked to him.
The judge was furious with my mother when he found out she called the police to report a kidnapping.
Almost had her arrested for it.
Lots of lies and shit.
Lots of bad memories.

One day Mum returned home from work and we were gone.
Mum didnt trust him (wise woman), and hid my passport (not very well).
One day she returned home from work and we were gone.
Dad followed some time later, tail between his legs.
They divorced within a couple of years and hated each other forever more.
And we all lived happily ever after.
(Not really, Mum died of brain cancer 8 years ago and Dad remains a functional alcoholic).

Total time kidnapped was 4 months, out of which I went to school for two weeks.
Honestly, I didnt realize I had been kidnapped until years later when I was 25.
When I was 12, my parents were going through a nasty divorce.
After they settled down and my dad realized mom wasnt coming back, they did the whole custody thing.
A week at my dads, a week at my moms.
Well, every summer, we would go down to my grandparents farm in Florida.
Dad didnt want us to go that year, whatever.
So we pack up and go to my moms.
Spent the summer in Florida.
School time rolls around.
No one mentions us going back.
Grandparents enroll me in school.
Ok, thats kinda weird, whatever.
The adults must be having problems.
Spend more time at home than actually going to school because I started having issues with severe nosebleeds.
Grandparents pack us up one day and take us to a secluded cabin in the Tennessee mountains.
Was there for another month.
They eventually meet my mom at the TN/NC line and hand us over.
It turns out my mother had gone over to my dads house and the living conditions were disgusting.
Trash ankle-deep and maggots in the fridge kinda gross.
Total time kidnapped was 4 months, out of which I went to school for two weeks.
Got home and it was like nothing happened.
No one ever mentioned it.
It was just like a long vacation.

He picked us up from the house and told us we were going on a trip.
Parental kidnapping, sort of.
But my mother wasnt there?
We didnt think anything of it, though.
She divorced him shortly thereafter.

My alcoholic father tried to kidnap my baby brother and I one evening after a spat with my mom.
This happened when I was very little about 2-3 yrs old I wanna say.
My alcoholic father tried to kidnap my baby brother and I one evening after a spat with my mom.
In a drunken rage he quickly pushed my mom outta the way and grabbed both me and my brother.
He somehow managed to buckle my bro in and I was in the front seat without a belt.
While drinking recklessly thru the street he crashed the car.
When the ambulance came they found me stuck to the dashboard with my forehead.
I still have the scar to this day.
