abductions in 2010. My questions are:
* How many child abductions were there in your force area in
2010?;
* How many of those abductions were successful stranger
abductions (ie not familial)?
* How many of those successful stranger abductions were resolved
within 24 hours?
* How many successful stranger abductions were resolved after
that time period?
* How many successful stranger abductions were unresolved or
outstanding?
