On the basis of a survey of a non-representative national sample of 371 parents who sought help from missing children's organizations, this article provides a profile of families in which children were abducted by one of the parents. Abductors were described as less educated and less likely to be employed than searching parents. In this survey, three-fourths of abducted children were younger than seven years of age; most abductions involved a single child. Although the abducting parents tended to be male (55 percent, n = 205), the proportion of female abductors was higher than in previous research. Mothers whose children were kidnapped by the father described more violence in their marriages, more fault-related reasons for divorce, and more force used in the abduction than did fathers whose children were kidnapped by the mother. The different family and social experiences of these men and women are discussed, and implications for social work practice are explored.
基于对371名向失踪儿童组织寻求帮助的家长组成的非代表性全国样本的调查，本文描绘了孩子被父母一方拐走的家庭概况。与寻找孩子的家长相比，拐骗者受教育程度较低，就业可能性也较小。在这项调查中，四分之三被拐儿童年龄小于7岁；大多数拐骗事件涉及单个儿童。尽管拐骗孩子的家长往往是男性（55%，n = 205），但女性拐骗者的比例高于以往研究。孩子被父亲拐走的母亲描述其婚姻中有更多暴力行为、更多与过错相关的离婚原因以及拐骗过程中使用了更多武力，这一情况比孩子被母亲拐走的父亲更为明显。本文讨论了这些男女不同的家庭和社会经历，并探讨了其对社会工作实践的启示。
