when a person is kidnapped, what is he called--victim, etc?

Answer 1

if kidnapped I beleive the proper term is hostage

Answer 2

Its after the attack that they called victim

so this man kidnaps a women treatens her, keeping her in his house , thats kidnapping for no reason

if he lets her go , or she escapes and tells the police , or the police know and are looking , the police would be looking for they victim , and they will say that she was a victim of a kidnapping,

If he was holding the women for a demand of sum of money or something else, then she a hostage , hostages are only taken in for in a demand that they should get what they are asking and will release the hostage , but if no they will kill the hostage , and again
if a hostage is realese from being hostage , then again they were a victim of a hostage situation.

so its after a attack , or within the situation that they are the victim.

hoped this helped

Answer 3

I'm with Eric on this one. Definately the Abductee. The victim is the one being screwed over for the money. Only later does the abductee beaome a victim - when his family finally decides he wasn't worth the ransom.

Answer 4

The Kidnapped .

Answer 5

"Victim" is an appropriate term. Usually you see it with the modifier: "Kidnapping victim"

Answer 6

Abductee or hostage would be the best bet, tho not the best situation to be in unless of course you planned it yourself and r getting the ransom in which case u become the spendee!!
