Answer

Yes, they are basically synonyms. But I think I would prefer "kidnap" when kids are involved, and "abducted" when aliens are involved. "Abducted" just sounds so extra-terrestrial. If neither kids nor aliens are involved, I could use kidnapped or abducted. If kids were kidnapped by aliens, I would say they were abducted.

Answer

They are both very similar:

kidnap: to steal, carry off, or abduct by force or fraud, usually for use as a hostage or to extract ransom

abduct: to carry off or lead away (a person) illegally and in secret or by force, esp. to kidnap

Answer

it has the same meaning.

Take away to an undisclosed location against their will and usually in order to extract a ransom

cowboy...

Answer

they are synonyms
