Police said the family a father, his daughter and two other children was kidnapped in Gaston County around 5 p.m. Friday and escaped 12 hours later at a Kangaroo gas station on the outskirts of Gaffney, S.C.
The family has not been identified by authorities, and police haven't said where or how they were abducted. Officers also haven't said what happened during the 12 hours the family was held hostage.
