Plain and simple. Kidnapping is taking a person as prisoner against his or her will. Also, persuading a child to go with you, away from its parents without permission, I would also, think this is kidnapping a child away from its parents.
Stealing a dog, cat or some other Pet, is also kidnapping.
A lot of people and children are kidnapped everyday. When someone gets kidnapped, the person who is the kidnapper, is responsible for the life of the subject that they kidnapped.
The kidnapper often does not want this responsibility and ends up killing the victim that was kidnapped.

Kidnapping, a word derived from kid = 'child' and nap (nab) = 'snatch', recorded since 1673, originally meant stealing children for use as servants or laborers in the American colonies. It has come to mean any illegal capture or detention of persons against their will, regardless of age, as for ransom; since 1768 the term abduction was also used in this sense. Another case is when two countries are at war: enemy soldiers may be captured in another country and detained as prisoners of war under the law of the capturer's state, and suspected war criminals and those suspected of genocide or crimes against humanity may be arrested.
