That was my favorite takeaway from the article, that there is not the irrational paranoia of child kidnapping that exists here in the US.
I mean what would someone do with a stolen child anyway? Unless you are rich there is little odds of ransom, and the risk/reward of selling or keeping the child for your own seems high. If people really wanted to steal babies, they would do so at gunpoint as well, which I've never heard of happening.
- pyre 14y agoThere are instances of people stealing babies out of maternity wards. Sometimes this people just want to steal the baby just to raise it as their own. They want a child, and the easiest way seems to be stealing someone else's for whatever reason (e.g. maybe they are infertile).

- khebbie 14y agoHi from Denmark here - the neigbour country to sweden. Where we do the excact same thing... Anyway there was a danish woman who moved to USA once and left her kid outside a cafe while she was inside. I think she was arrested or something. It made a great deal of fuss in Denmark, since no one steals kids here (of course thats an understatement - probaly it has happend)
