Also given that this was most likely an opportunity grab, I doubt anything such as chloroform was used to subdue a small 9 yo, many kids have been abducted by force the sheer gravity of what's happening, fear, shock and the uncertainty surrounding what is actually happening is often enough
Offenders will often lie to the victim, telling them that if they're quiet and do what they tell the victim they'll be fine .
ESPECIALLY, and I cant stress this ENOUGH, if the child has not been taught how to react to someone trying to take them. TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO REACT !!!!!!!!
Even though in Ambers case, she was simply overpowered , there are things you can teach your kids to help them escape or prevent them from being removed
If I could impart one single piece of advice here, from one parent to others...98% of all abduction cases, involved the use of a vehicle , teach your kids to NEVER approach a vehicle , and to try to get out of them at all costs and to never stop trying to escape it if put into one !
