| The argument does not persuade. There is deprivation of liberty even if the victim went voluntarily with the accused where the voluntary action was induced by the accused's false inducement without which the victim would not have gone with him.[13] Here, Karwin, a 5-year old boy, was enticed by appellant to go with him to the mountain side on the pretext that appellant will give Karwin a toy, a promise that was never fulfilled. And when Karwin signified his desire to go home, appellant told him to stay put because he had to wait for the ransom. Again, we quote the boy's testimony in this regard: Q: Did you not tell Lito that you want to go home already? A: I told him. | |||||
