‘Devastated’ family demands answers after one-year-old driven by armed agents from LA Home Depot parking lot
ICE is detaining a 13-year old boy from Everett, MA in a Winchester juvenile detention center 500 miles away after what The Boston Globe rep
They didn't tell his parents because they know that they're in the wrong.
This was the only article that I could find that didn't use the word "arrest." They didn't arrest the child. They kidnapped him.
Spirit Away
(A look into something a bit unique to Dwayne in the vampiric banes department. Vampires are fae-like, and that means old human desires like wanting children get a little fucked up when you become something that can't actually make a biological child, and also old magic. TW: implication of child kidnapping, somewhat unsettling focus on observing young children in public)

Dwayne likes children.
The pack knows it. Dwayne knows it. Knows it intimately.
On the Boardwalk in summer, when families bring their little ones with them past sunset, hands sticky with candy, hair under hats to protect them from a sun that's left the sky, little feet stumbling under their own exhaustion and overstimulated fun, Dwayne will sit and. Watch.
He hears their little heartbeats, their short breaths as they try to keep up with the adults around them. Sometimes, if they wander close by enough, he imagines he could reach out and touch.
He never does. But he could.
It's not because he wants to do something to harm them. The thought alone makes his stomach revolt and hands curl into claws. He's eaten those that do.
But there is something inside of him that wants. It wants to hold those little bodies close. It wants them in his arms. To have. To see sleeping peacefully and watch all night. To hear laughing and dry away tears. To feed, and run with, and show them things, and tell them things so that he himself might never forget because the memory is no longer his alone.
Dwayne knows at one point, he wanted to be a father. It had seemed like something of a still-distant goal at the time, but achievable.
The wrong place, the wrong time. Max took that away from him.
Now, the old, human desire mixes with something else, this inhuman mind and inhuman need taking that and building itself a new perspective, and a new want.
Humans had things they considered having ownership over.
But vampires had mine.
Dwayne knows that to him, if he would allow himself to give into the impulse, the child would be his.
Never to harm. Never to treat with anything but the most careful, warmest of love.
Dwayne likes children.
He must never be allowed near them.
Dadbastian! Not SebaCiel!
Tw: Talk of Kidnapping and a child in danger
Something I wanna read/see:
Something happens to Ciel, and Sebastian is utterly helpless. He needs to rely on others to save Ciel and he can do nothing but wait.
He’s not used to being useless and can’t hide his fear, because if he can’t do anything then no one can.
Plus the reunion at the end could be so cute! Sebastian is so thankful that Ciel’s back and Ciel is stunned, but doesn’t want to question it because he is just still so scared after what just happened, and he doesn’t normally get affection like that. So he just stays there silently trying to avoid tears and looking like a child.
My only issue is that I can’t think of a reason for it. Maybe Ciel is taken by other demons and brought down to hell? Not sure
700+ PALESTINIAN CHILDREN K*DNAPPED. AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THEY DO WITH H*STAGES
“So, what happens to her? I mean, after we leave?”
Missing & Abducted Children.
In the United States it is estimated that 460,000 children go missing every year. The National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children categorizes missing children’s cases under five separate umbrellas: Familial abductions; Stranger abduction; Ran/Thrown away; Lost, stranded, or injured; and Benign reasons (such as misunderstandings).
Familial abductions occur when someone other than a legal guardian takes a child from their custody and refuses to return them. Familial abductions are mostly done by a non-custodial parent, however any person in a child’s family who removes them without theirs or their guardian’s consent qualifies as a familial abductor.
Stranger abductions involve a child being transported 50ft or more from where they were taken, detained for more than hour, held for ransom, and/or with the intent to keep the child permanently; kidnappings involve a use of threat or force. These instances are rare, however they are considered much more dangerous than familial abductions.
Children who have run away from home leave the home of their caretakers without permission, but whose caretakers make consistent efforts to recover them and return them home. There are many risk factors involved for children who have or who attempt to run away from home. Many include abuse, continual conflict with guardians, mental illness (whether diagnosed, treated, or neither), gang activity, pregnancy, or desire to be with someone from outside the home. Children who have been thrown away from home are those who have been forcibly removed from their home by their caretakers, and whose caretakers have made no effort to recover them; or whose guardians abandon them and have made no effort to recover them. Many of the risk factors for children who run away overlap with those who are deserted.
In benign cases, of the estimated 2,000 children reported missing each day, 800 of these cases were misunderstandings (such as a false alarm).
Though both the thought and statistics can seem grim when talking about missing and abducted children, there is still hope. Thanks to global efforts and the determination law enforcement, parents/guardians, and loved ones, 99% of children who are missing are returned home alive.
