Human instincts reaction in a kidnapping?

Just curious. I've been watching the shows on the two little girls missing in Iowa ( ages 8 &10).

If you are with someone and that person is being kidnapped, would you run the other direction or stay and try to help them?

I think instincts would tell you to help the other person, but in reality you should run. You could identify the kidnapper or the vehicle and actually be some help.

I talked to my adult daughter about this and she didn't know what she would do either. I told her you wouldn't really know unless you were in that situation.

I know you should run, but I'm not sure I could. What are your thoughts?
