I'll admit I watch far too much Law and Order, but the first step after abducting a child? Toss their cell phone. Into the some other kid's backpack, or another parent's car, or a trash can at the greyhound station.

Throw the police and parents off the scent while little Jane gets hurt. Oh, she's still at school. Actually, she was abducted hours ago, and the trail is now complete cold.
