Lost Innocence - True Cases of Stolen Children - Alex Pined
Introduction
There are thousands of cases of missing people every day across the world, though not all of them receive any media attention. Some though grab the headlines, and people suddenly become aware of a child who has disappeared. From the famous case of Madeline McCann who disappeared from Portugal and has never been found, despite extensive police investigations, to Etan Patz, the missing boy who was first put on a milk carton.
In many of the cases of disappearing children, the kidnapper is often found to be a parent; often a disgruntled parent undergoing a difficult divorce or frustrated by lack of custody. In these cases the child is often found and returned safely to their home.
In other cases the child is less fortunate and is killed by their abductor. Again many times it is a parent, or even a known pedophile. Sometimes the remains are found, but in many cases only fragments of clothing or other clues are discovered; the whereabouts of the body remaining a mystery.
A child disappearance is perhaps the most disturbing type of disappearance because children are seen as an innocent and unable to care for, or look after themselves. The horror the abducted child may experience goes without saying, and anyone who is a parent can’t help but be disturbed by these disappearances.
When you realize just how many children go missing each year in the USA alone, you will be shocked. In 1999 over 800,000 children under the age of 18 were reported missing, with 200,000 of them abducted by members of their own family! In 2013, there were 462,567 entries into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center for missing children under the age of 18.
When you realize that many of these children disappeared from their beds at night, from the mall or while walking home, you suddenly realize how important it is to look after your children and make sure you know where they are. Even letting your child run ahead on the street out of your view gives a potential abductor enough time to kidnap your child!
As you read this book you will learn the stores of many children who have disappeared. Some were found again, others were never seen again, while some still remain missing. Some children were subjected to unspeakable horrors during their disappearance, and you will be disturbed by the ease with which many of these children vanished.
The Beaumont Children
The Beaumont children lived in Adelaide, Australia in the 1960’s. The three children (Jane – 9, Arnna – 7 and Grant – 4) lived in Harding Street, which was just a few minutes away from Glenelg, a popular tourist beach full of hotels, restaurants and attractions. Their disappearance shook Australia and changed the habits of a generation in supervising their children.
Like many other local residents, the children loved Glenelg and spent a lot of time there. Many local children took the bus from the Harding Street area to the beach resort.
On January 26, 1966 the three children left their home at 10am, as they had done many times before, to catch the
