Caught on camera: man takes off with toddler, sister helps save him
Source: 6ABC
Deputies are hoping surveillance camera footage will help them catch up to a man who attempted to kidnap at 22-month-old child from a park in the state of Washington.
The father, Michael Wright, tells KXLY-TV he was at work Sunday when it happened. He says he left little Owen and his two siblings with their babysitter on Sunday. The three children were playing alone at a park when the suspect ripped Michael's son out of the stroller and took off down the street.
"I can't explain the feeling, the anxiety and everything that goes into finding out your child is missing or something has happened to them," Wright said.
Fortunately, witnesses say his brother and sister chased down the suspect.

(160,415 posts)The man was hustling right off down the street with his free baby. So creepy it's hard to believe it could happen.
Thank goodness for the courage of the brother and sister, and the good hearts of the two teenaged boys.
What a shock to everyone, even the readers of this article.

(17,469 posts)this type of thing is still relatively rare. If you ask people how bad crime is versus when they were kids, they will almost always tell you it is worse now, but in fact violent crime is at an all time low.
