Student
Abductions
Each week across
the United States, there is an attempt or an actual
abduction of a student in the primary and secondary grades
while at or traveling to/from school.
School security extends beyond the grounds of the schools as
it relates to awareness. Parents, Teachers, Staff and
Students must have information about prevention strategies.
Awareness is the least expensive and most effective method
of security training that can be implemented. Clear
visitor policies must be established and strictly adhered to
for maximum effectiveness. While
shootings garner the most publicity, abductions and
attempted abduction are clearly more
prevalent. The below are based on news accounts and is
not intended to be a comprehensive study or report.
