Kidnapped
My fellow friends,
Being a hostage is not a good experience for a young kids. But unfortunately, I happen to witness one of my younger sister's classmate being kidnapped and it was terrifying. His name is Amri and he is ten years old. He was the victim of a kidnapping series and he was still a primary school student.
The incident happened on a fine Monday morning. A man who had history of mental illness and was previously a criminal broke into the school compound. Armed with a switchblade, he scared everybody in the school and took Amri as his hostage.
The kidnapper took the ten years old student as his hostage for four hour. Amri's hand and leg were tied up and he cannot do anything because the kidnapper stood beside him all the time.
Soon, the policeman arrived and tried to negotiate with the kidnapper. However, the stubborn kidnapper refused to release Amri.
On the other hand, the kidnapper make sure Amri was in good condition. He also allowed Amri's mother to hear Amri's voice on the phone. The police recorded the conversation as the kidnapper was talking through the phone. The kidnapper try to demand for his release by calling Amri's mother again or he will hurt Amri but the policeman refuse to fulfill his demand.
The kidnapper lost his temper and started to hurt Amri. His aroused temper led him to slash Amri's right chest and he was badly injured. Seeing that, the kidnapper panicked and lost his concentration. The quick move of the policeman managed to save Amri. The kidnapper tried to escape but was arrested.
At the end of the day, the policeman told him that he was a brave boy. Even though he did not suffer from any mental trauma after the incident, he was sent for counseling session to motivate

    On March 1st 1932, 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh III was kidnapped. He was the con of the internationally known pilot, Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh and his wife Ana discovered the ransom note in their son’s room. The note demanded $50,000 for the return of the child. The kidnapper was very clever, using a ladder to sneak up to the child’s room and snatch him. He had left clues, however they were all false. Everyone wanted to help find the missing baby, even though locked up, Al Capone had offered his help. A few days later, another note showed up; this time demanding $70,000. This time the kidnapper seemed serious, giving a time and place to drop off the money. They told the Lindbergh’s that their child was on a boat called the Nelly off the coast of Massachusetts, but after long hours of searching nothing was found, no boat and no child. Shortly after, baby Charles Lindbergh III’s body was found not far from the Lindbergh’s mansion. The family was so heartbroken that they moved away after donating their mansion to charity. “The kidnapping looked like it would go unsolved until September 1934, when a marked bill from the ransom turned up. The gas station attendant who had accepted the bill wrote down the license plate number because he was suspicious of the driver. It was tracked back to a German immigrant and carpenter, Bruno Hauptmann.” When the detectives searched Hauptmann house, they found a large portion Lindbergh’s ransom money. He tried denying it but there was plenty of evidence proving he was the kidnapper. Besides the money, the handwriting on the ransom not seemed to closely resemble Hauptmann’s. Although the prosecution’s case was weak, there was still enough evidence to convict Hauptmann. He was then electrocuted the following year. “In the aftermath of the crime--the most notorious of the 1930s--kidnapping was made a federal…

    Amir’s father, Baba, sees the cowardice that Amir possesses and the constant need he has for his father’s approval. As the story progresses, Amir witnesses an act of evil in the aftermath of the kite running festival. He sees Hassan, his only friend, being raped by Assef, the town bully. Overwhelmed with horror and fear, Amir flees the scene, leaving his faithful friend behind. As a young boy, he seeks redemption for having abandoned his friend by seeking out physical pain as punishment. Amir narrates, “I hit him with another pomegranate, in the shoulder this time...‘Hit me back, goddamn you!’ I wished he would. I wished he'd give me the punishment I craved, so maybe I'd finally sleep at night. Maybe then things could return to how they used to be between us”(Hosseini, pg 92). Amir longs for forgiveness and to share the bond they once had. This incident serves as a lesson to Amir that redemption requires much more than encouraging Hassan to throw a pomegranate at his chest. While Hassan is a loyal friend, who might have recognized Amir’s attempt at redemption, Hassan refuses to participate. This failure at redemption leads to Amir distancing himself from Hassan, and the two continue to grow farther apart. The theme of redemption re-appears when Amir receives a phone call from his old friend, Rahim Khan. As Rahim finishes his conversation with Amir, he says, “Come. There is a way to be good again” (Hosseini, pg ). Without the prodding from Rahim, Amir may have never overcome the regret of his cowardly mistake. Even though he has grown and matured into adulthood, he realizes that his past is still a heavy burden. It is not until Amir returns to Afghanistan that he succeeds in finally securing atonement. After hearing the news of Hassan’s death and the fate of…

    How reliable do you think autobiographies are? This is a very controversial question that can be argued on both sides. But for this essay, we are going to leave it up to your opinion but I’m going to give you mine. In the autobiography ‘Kidnapped’ written by Olaudah Equiano, is one of the first tirmes we hear about the journey of a slave from a firsthand point of view. The thing is, can we trust an official document like the Constitution to be true facts just as much as Equiano’s autobiography of the declaration of sentiments to be the most reliable way to report history.…

    Even though it is common, PTSD is usually the result of multiple incidents of physical abuse that victims endure while being held captive. It can then be understood as an emotional response to physically driven actions. Furthermore, symptoms of PTSD, such as shock and anxiety, can be classified into a broader definition of genuine psychopathology. In order for this condition to be present in a kidnapping victim, there needs to be an “enduring personality change after a catastrophic experience” and “a mistrustful attitude, social withdrawal and estrangement, feelings of emptiness or hopelessness, and a chronic feeling of being ‘on edge’…for at least two years” (David A. Alexander and Susan Klein). With reference to the Chowchilla incident in San Francisco in 1976, where twenty-six children were abducted, every child showed indications of PTSD and even mentally deteriorated further over time. This example sheds light on the harmful effects kidnapping can have on young children, potentially more so than adults. Other psychological reactions to being kidnapped are psychological infantilism and frozen fright, where the victim exhibits shock, fear, and a regressive type of behavior becoming attached to the kidnapper for their…

    At the age of twelve, Amir committed the act which would dominate his thoughts for the rest of his life. His childhood friend and servant, Hassan, was raped by the neighborhood bully, and Amir watched in horror. Afraid of the same fate, Amir made no attempt to help his friend or to make his presence known. Instead, he hoped that Hassan had not noticed him watching. This is not uncommon for children. Not all children can be expected to face their fears or to try to be heroes. Children often try to pretend things away, as well. Guilt-ridden, Amir avoided Hassan, but the more he did so, the more guilt he felt for abandoning his friend in his time of need. Deciding that he could no longer stand Hassan's presence, Amir framed Hassan for stealing objects from the house. He had second thoughts and planned on confessing until his father forgave Hassan. Amir had always been jealous of his father's love for Hassan, so when his father readily forgave Hassan for, according to his father, one of the ultimate crimes, Amir…
