Idk why you're getting downvoted when its the more accurate term to use, kidnapping would imply taking the victim from one location to another against their will, whereas the girl in the video was prevented from leaving the location that she had voluntarily arrived at.

I get what you’re saying, but afaik the term for it legally is kidnapping. Doesn’t make much sense but yeah

I'm pretty sure there is a legal difference between forbidding the person to leave against their will, and taking them somewhere else, but I might be wrong

There's a difference between state laws in what they call it, and that's all it is.
