Adult Woman Kidnapped by Parents

from Breitbart

A Maine couple upset that their 19-year-old daughter was pregnant tied her up, loaded her in their car and began driving to New York to force her to get an abortion. The daughter, Katelyn Kampf, escaped Friday at a shopping center and called police, who arrested her parents. They were jailed on a kidnapping charge and were being held on $100,000 bail each.

Investigators said rope, duct tape, scissors and a .22-caliber rifle were found in the Kampfs' Lexus and the father had a loaded .22- caliber magazine clip in his pants pocket. The Kampfs were upset that their daughter was pregnant by a man who is now in jail. She escaped from her parents after persuading them to untie her so she could use a KMart bathroom. After her father went into the men's room, she used a cell phone to call for help, then ran to a nearby Staples store.
