In 1716 one 9yo leapt at the chance to be kidnapped by pirates (LaTms via Morn)

=A Pirate's Life for a Wee Lad By Thomas H. Maugh II, Times Staff Writer
...King's fragmentary story is found in a deposition filed with the governor of Antigua on Nov. 30, 1716 by Abijah Savage, commander of the Antiguan sloop Bonetta. As was the usual practice, Savage reported to the governor the details of a pirate attack on his ship. On Nov. 9, the Bonetta was attacked by Bellamy's ship and held for 15 days. The pirates took all of their valuables, including "a Negro Man and an Indian Boy belonging to Mr. Benjamin Wicker" before releasing them. Savage wrote that one John King, who was sailing with his mother as a passenger from Jamaica to Antigua, "deserted his sloop, and went with the Pirates and was so far from being forced or compelled thereto by them as the deponent could perceive or learn that he declared he would Kill himself if he was Restrained, and even threatned his Mother who was then on Board as a Passenger with the Deponent."
