Maybe abductions isn't the best word... Kidnappings? Everyone I know has emphasized on some - or several - occasions not to give away info and be trusting because of a supposed risk of being kidnapped for ransom, risk of burglary, etc. Never happened anything to me or people I know, but many people I know have had family or personal friends killed or kidnapped apparently just because, or to ask ransom, and several of my neighbours have had their homes broken into.

Abduction is a fine word, I think the Alice commenter just didn’t understand

Abduction or kidnapping i guess you are talking about some places of México or Colombia, not the whole latin america.
