Kidnapping in Pakistan has become an easy offense. Abductors due to negligence of parents and security lapse in metropolitan cities even easily manage to kidnap for ransom, for sexual abuse and due to vengeance and animosity.

Many bodies were found in garbage dumps and grounds last year after many kidnappings happened. They usually kidnap children from streets, shops and parks and after taking them away, they call the parents for a large sum of money in return of their child with blackmailing them for not reporting it to the police. The security of every Pakistani is promised so the security and law enforcements should be taken into accountability. Not only police should be active and alert, parents and people in general should pay heed to the people around and immediately report any suspicious and vile activity in their surroundings.
