Parents in Maine reportedly kidnapped their 19 year old adult daughter, bound and gagged her; in a kidnapping attempt aimed at forcing her into a late term abortion. This is really, really going to piss off the pro-choice and pro-life advocates. This is NO-choice and “baby murder” rolled all into one. How many people can you possibly offend at once??
My guess is that these parent’s won’t be getting many holiday cards this year.
From Reuters:
BOSTON (Reuters) - Police charged a Maine couple on Monday of kidnapping their pregnant 19-year-old daughter, who was bound with rope and duct tape and bundled into her parents’ car to force her to have an emergency abortion.
Nicholas Kampf, 54, and his wife, Lola, 53, were arrested on Friday in a New Hampshire parking lot after their daughter Katelyn escaped by persuading her parents to untie her so she could use a Kmart bathroom.
A court affidavit said her parents chased her out into the yard after an altercation, grabbed and tied her hands and feet together. Her father then gagged her and carried her to their Lexus and they drove toward New Hampshire.
“The case facts are somewhat bizarre,” aid Mark Dion of Maine’s Cumberland County Police Department, which is involved in the investigation. “It is a bit of a shock.”
He said the Kampfs, who were arraigned in New Hampshire’s Salem District Court on Monday on kidnapping charges and held on bail of $100,000 each, appeared to have been angry that their daughter was pregnant by a man who is now in jail.
UPDATE: Jay over at Parents Behaving Badly found another disturbing nugget that wasn’t in the original story. Apparently the mother “was pretty irate at the fact that the child’s father was black, and she had made a number of disparaging remarks about that”, which may have been their motivation for the kidnapping. What a couple of fine individuals.

Pro-choice or Anti-choice feelings aside, I just have to wonder how they can get away with it, given that she is a legal adult. The daughter ought to press charges.

Hi there, found you through Nilbo.
This is insane! Not only offensive to both pro-life and choice, but now also racists.
Its just horrible that some can be very closed-minded and so judgmental to the point of committing a felony. Just sad.

I’m just amazed by how unsurprised I am at hearing about this. Parents like these have probably been running their daughter’s life (and ruining it) for her whole life. Now that’s she’s an adult, they can’t bear the idea that she would choose to do something so unlike their own choices. I can sort of understand how ONE parent would just flip out and do something so stupid, but to have two idiots working together is a bit amazing.
I would love to see what their neighbors and friends at the club think of them now (over what they might have thought once their daughter gave birth?). Karma really catches up with you, doesn’t it?
