Lol, someone came through and down voted instead of actually providing a source.
What is this kidnapping story?
It’s not a story but a bunch of women who claim that someone tried to kidnap them in broad daylight in a busy parking lot. Or tried to grab their kids. It’s always “someone” and never an actual description of a person. All the details are extremely vague. “Oh there was a van following me to my car!” “This guy was following me and he was wearing glasses so I couldn’t see his face!” It’s always these middle class white women too, which human traffickers don’t go after. They’ll take pictures of random vehicles and come up with fake ass stories about how the vehicle was following them, acting weird, blah blah. Oh and they never call the police. They just write long ass posts on social media about what almost happened to them.
Here’s an article on the topic. Idk who the author is, but the article is pretty accurate about what’s going on.
