What would you do one day if your child was abducted? Has this ever happend to you? How do you think you recover from the loss.

I do not think this is something that can be known or even properly speculated upon unless it has actually happened... such is the depth of the bond between child and parent. It would be devestating for sure. I do not think one would ever fully recover though they may learn to function and cope with the reality of their loss... and the fears for their child's spiritual and physical well being. my friend's aunt (in either hungary or romania) during the bolshevist movement had her 6 year old child taken from her by the marauding army - as did everyone else in that village and elsewhere - these children were taken to be programed or reprogrammed to the abductors agenda. the villagers never did see their young children again and I am sure that several prayed their child be killed than live the reality that was to be their future and fate.

Thankfully, this has never happened to me. I honestly don't know what I'd do, as the pain and loss, would be intolerable. I'd never get over it, but sadly, life would just move on. I sincerely hope that you have never experienced this.

Thankfully this has never happened to me but I have had a couple of scares as my son has autism and is good at hiding!!!! I know that I would definitely never recover from it!! I have read and watched "Deep end of the Ocean" and it would be the worst separation ever!!!!! I am sure that I would likely blame myself for it for the rest of my life! ~Heavens~

I would be sick with grief...I would just die inside, knowing that I didn't protect my little one..It would be torture to know that my little one is being hurt, and I am not there to help...I just don't know that I could ever recover...

Personally, I don't know that I would ever be able to recover from the loss. I'm sure that the feelings of guilt alone, are enough to suffocate a person. This is why I am so vigilant about watching my children. I was actually physically attacked by a vagrant once, when two of my children were with me. He was arrested. At the trial, he announced to his lawyer that he "just wanted to play with the kids". Turned out that he was a convicted child molestor in Florida. And upon being released from jail, he moved here to Los Angeles. Luckily, he will be locked up for some time.

wow! i would totally be devastated. i dont have a kid yet and the thought of my child being abducted would break me into pieces. i saw how hard it has been for my mom when we lost my younger sister when she was still 3years old. it was devastating for us. especially for her. i never knew how my mom recovered. but she just woke up one morning and saw myself not crying over my sister.
