Although many associate kidnapping with ransom, wherein the perpetrator demands a certain amount of money for the return of the victim, most kidnapping cases in the U.S. do not involve monetary demands. In fact, a number of these cases involve the non-custodial parent or other relative of a child taking him or her from the custodial parent or guardian.
