Sometimes kidnappers will approach kids alone and say, “I’m a friend of your parents” or “I’m your mother’s cousin.” Through social media, kidnappers can learn a lot about people, and may even be able to use the right names like, “I’m your mom’s cousin Susan.” Perhaps the child has heard of Susan and trusts this adult.
