I don't find the 14 year old's use of the term "kidnapping" to be unusual at all-- for kids, it's something they've all been warned about. The father, however, did not need to use that term, in fact, probably avoided its use as to not frighten the other children prematurely. As in this example, Father: Go up to the store and see if your sister is up there! Son: Dad, has she been kidnapped? Father: I didn't say that! Just go check to see if she's over there! Son at store: Have you seen Isa this morning? She's not home and we think she might be kidnapped!
