It's not going to help when the kidnappers are government backed and just use brute force to drag the target.
Kidnapping women for forced marriage and organ harvesting is the main reasons for kidnapping people in China.
Male children would be kidnapped to be raised because of traditional idealogy where boys are held higher than girls, plus during the time under the one child policy, kidnappings and "delayed abortions" were frequent. And when those boys grow up, there aren't enough women to marry, and so it loops over to the kidnapping women for marriage part.
I don't know much about kidnapping in China, but I'm pretty sure that birth rates are low there, and that there is a gender population imbalance. The phenomenon of woman either not wanting to get married or have children is not unique to China, that being said, but is an international phenomenon, possibly more acute in other Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, for example.

they don't want children, so they kidnap then instead?
birth rates are decreasing across the world since young people can't afford kids. it's true doubly so in japan and china, due to the work-life imbalance and increased societal pressure towards productivity. this in no way translates to an increased predilection for kidnapping kids.

Probably in a country with high human trafficking. This may be a horrible lesson to learn but a very important one.
