so kidnapping is a good option.
the kid is probably better off too, with all the "child care" and merperson farming going on

Who wouldn't want to be taken by the silly communist goblin overlords?

I've gotten to where I just have a room with a bunch of beds, create a room from each bed so that they all overlap, and then assign children to the rooms. That way they tend to all stay together in one place and not get kidnapped.

Children respect burrows. I always keep them inside to prevent kidnappings. Make sure to unburrow them if they get a strange mood.

Children only respect burrows when they aren't doing what they please.  And children do what they please.

When a child is born in, or immigrates to, my fortress I add them to the burrow that covers just the fortress itself (living and working areas) but not outside areas such as pastures and refuse pile.  Once the child is old enough to be not carried around by the mother they sometimes respect the burrow but will randomly decide to follow a parental unit (or other dwarf) into the field for wood gathering, hunting, or sock recovery.  This, of course, occasionally leads to getting caged in a bag (which makes them unhappy at being confined, by the way).  I try to recover them, but if they get dwarfnapped then, well, time to move on ... lots of other childrens.

even though its.. cheating I use dwarf ther to allow kids to take jobs but only minor ones miming/ woodcitting/furnace I am not a child slaver R-right

I do similar, but rather than the ones you mention, I have them do plant gathering/processing, milking, milling, etc. plus hauling items and refuse.

it happens in every fort i make! waves upon waves of dwarfspawn who eat and drink all the booze and then get kidnapped by some retarded gobling because they went outside to drink...

Let all Dwarves harvest.

Instant +50 farmers.
