rescue 'thrillers' where child is kidnapped ?

[Randall_Oelerich]

Can anybody help me brainstorm a list of thrillers where a child is adducted / goes missing, the goal of the parent(s) then being to find/rescue the child? Not kidnapping (not ransom), [doh! i used kidnapping in my posting subject, but i just mean kidnapping but not for ransom] but rather stories where the antagonist abducts a child for whatever evil purpose other than ransom. I suppose I could include kidnappings for ransom, but would prefer not. I want to analyze scripts/films of this nature to help me write my current thriller story that revolves around a 10-12 year old daughter being abducted by a serial killer, the mother then needing to find and rescue the daughter (more to the story than that of course, but that gives the central question-- Will mom find and rescue her daughter?). ~randall
