Kidnapping is a crime in Canada. Throughout its history, a number of incidents have taken place.
According to Canadian law enforcement agencies, about 50,492 missing children were reported to be missing in 2009.[1] From 2000-2001, of about 90 incidents reported, there were only two that were actually stranger abduction, and in all other cases, the reports were in error.[2]
However, parental child abduction seems to be bigger issue. 83 out of 100 kidnapped children are found to be victim of parental abduction.[3] In 2009, there were 237 reported parental abductions.[1]
