I think it's a good thing that kidnapping of competent adults is illegal.
But if I were to meet the family of a cult member, if that person were
about to be married to somebody they don't know, if they were about to be
castrated or sterilized, if they were about to be moved to another country
against their will, and if this family decided that they needed to do
something to keep that family member safe, then I would not be one to
condemn that family. Of course it's illegal, and should be, but sometimes
it's important enough to protect your family, regardless of the legal
consequences.

I know some folks who disagree with me 100%. But we seem to get along fine
even with our differences on this issue.
