Child Kidnaps a Child

Kurukuro warns the public to be aware of a new modus organized by a group of syndicates and children. Kidnapping syndicate recruits kids and teenagers as young as 7 years old as their accomplice in the group’s operation. Minors, mostly street children and recruited from slum areas, are tasked to befriend a target victim. Once the child suspect establishes familiarity with the target, he will invite the victim to go with him and lure away from the eyes of nannies/parents. Once left alone, the kidnappers will snatch the child victim.

Kurukuro reiterates that this new method of operation (MO) perpetrated by a few groups DOES NOT depict that there is a rising case of abduction with the new MO. The purpose of sharing (aside from informing) is for the public to be prudent in keeping the children safe and be aware of their surroundings. Just because the child has new playmates, it doesn’t mean that the parents will let their guard down.

Keeping you informed. Keeping you safe.
