E.g. I don't want to be able to be told that someone's kidnapped my daughter, because then they have no incentive to do so (TDT aside)

Unless they just want your daughter, instead of wanting whatever behavior they could use her to coerce you into. So really what you don't want is a way to receive ransom demands.
