Explanation
Those under 18 should be subjected to legal curfews as well as restricted driving privileges

Conclusions

It is necessary to take care of this group through a curfew

For instance, girls are easier to abduct since they are generally physically weaker than boys
They are the main targets because kidnappers can easily handle them
Under 18’s are easy targets for kidnappers
They are main targets since they can easily be handled
