[Coraline (2009 animated film)] How did The Beldam/"Other Mother" kidnap Coraline's parents? Also, if she can kidnap people in the real world so easily, then why not just kidnap Coraline directly?

If she just kidnapped Coraline directly the house would probably be assumed haunted and no more families with children would come. She only kidnapped Coraline's parent's when she became desperate. If the kids come because of their own choice they will be assumed to run away since it happened during the night. It's also possible that she follows some spirit/demon rules where she can only get eyes if the other party consents.
