Child Kidnapping and Abuse by Gang-criminals and the Legitimate Custody of Minor to Parents After Rescue and use of Geofencing to Arrest the Absconding Criminals

Abstract

This paper mainly focuses on the custody of a minor child, abducted and abused by the criminals from the place of parental residence. The cases regarding the kidnapping of minor young girls and teen aged women are increasing rapidly. The modus operandi of criminals vary from case to case. In some cases criminals torture the abducted minor, do rape and kill them; while in some other cases, to escape from law enforcement agencies, they arrange “forced-illegal-fake” marriages under threat to life. In most of the offence,s an organized, rich Gang of criminals is tangled and involved. The Gang members are given different responsibilities to perform and commit the crime by the leader of Gang. They have also the backing of most effective personalities, who safeguard them inthe  existing system and such personalities remain effective and hidden. Therefore, the victim and the family do not get justice from any corner. The Gang and the “effective personality” invest a huge amount of money in “red light areas” or the sale of limbs like kidney, heart or liver etc inland or abroad. However, the abductee undergoes a lot of torture and gang rape. Secondly, the authors focus and stress upon the need for strong legislation so that the criminals are punished, when their guilt is proved and also not bailed out in non-bailable offences. Thirdly and most importantly, the abductee must be handed over to the parents after recovery from the criminal Gang. This paper presents a case study of an abducted school-age baby who has not been handed over to the parents for the last six months. The faults of the legal system in Pakistan need to be over viewed, revamped and overhauled. The antagonistic behavior of Police and investigating officers is also required to be modified, which adversely affects the merits of the case in courts of law.
