Jolie 'hysterical' over kidnap fears

Angelina Jolie is worried about the possibility of her children being kidnapped, reports say.

The actress, who gave birth to twins Vivienne and Knox with partner Brad Pitt in July, has spent most of her time indoors for the last two months.

She is rumoured to be refusing to leave the French château the family has rented for the summer over fears for the safety of her six children.

"If one of them is unaccounted for for more than 30 seconds, she gets hysterical," the Sydney Morning Herald quotes a friend as saying.
