About This Quote
When someone is kidnapped and their finger is taken as proof, the kidnappers will often send a piece of that person’s finger to their family member as a way of trying to prove that they are alive. The idea is that the family member will have to take a look at the piece of finger and can see whether or not their loved one is alive or not. However, the family member may be so shocked to see this piece of their loved one’s finger that they will want more proof. They will want to see it in person and will need more details about where the finger was found, for example.
Sometimes, a family member may even insist that a ransom be paid to get back the finger back. This is extremely upsetting and very hurtful to the kidnapping victim as well as their family because now they have been tricked into paying money from their own pocket.
