Science fiction fans, help me out with the title and author to this story! About aliens abducting children?
The story came out in Analog or Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine maybe in the 1980's and involved testing centers established by these aliens that faster-than-light travel. They would test all human children and if the kids were able to teleport then they'd take the children. Humans resisted at first but the aliens were brutal. I recall they killed everyone in Wichita, Kansas to make an example of what happens to anyone that resists them. So there were testing centers all over the world and human children were tested, a small percentage were abducted, then one child teleported back to Earth after being abducted but the aliens took her back to their planet. It enraged the humans who decided that no child goes to the alien planet twice. They posted solders at every testing center. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?

Answer 1 :
Kind of reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. However, I have three places you can check to find out. 1) alibris.com just ask this question on that site. 2) ask the librarian at loc.gov which is the website for the Library of Congress. 3) Go to Baen's Books on the web. Sign in. When they email an okay and you sign in for real, you can ask others in the chat rooms or ask the authors of other books and editors of Sci-Fi magazines this question. Then after you find your answer and would like to do more you can read and download free e-books. Have fun and enjoy!

Actually, there's an episode of Outer Limits (I believe it was a two-parter) that's very very similar. It's called The Inheritors, and starred Robert Duvall
