Reply to comment by tonyblow2345 in If I wanna travel within the states what do I need to bring as ID for my kids? by redditb4awhile

Yeah I’m honestly shook. I thought I would have to at least bring their birth certificate. So basically someone can kidnap a kid and just freely travel with them??

I mean I guess if it was a problem, stricter rules would be in place? Kidnappings are usually done by family members and I bet the rest of the family knows immediately who did it if it happens. Doesn’t seem too difficult to track people down anymore with Amber alerts and all that. I feel like they’d immediately put out an alert to airlines, car rental places, etc and if the suspected kidnapper tried to book travel or check in at the airport, it would send up a red flag. Why did I just put so much thought into this??

Kidnapping of a toddler is pretty damn rare.
