Attempted kidnapping in Mishawaka

[Hoosierdood]

Two girls playing in the yard in broad daylight at 10:30 am. Guy in a truck pulls up and tries to kidnap them. Girl screams, and dad comes running to chase the guy off. This hits close to home since I have young kids who play in the yard while I'm inside (even though I ALWAYS know where my kids are at).

I’m tempted to sit on my porch and protect the neighbor kids, because this is happening too often.

My kids are only allowed to play in our yard, and the parking lot across the street. Neighbor kids are running around all the time, and use our yard as a common meeting place. I know for a fact that half their parents have no clue where they are at. the oldest kid cant be more than 9 years old. I would rather be over protective than lose one of mine.

When mine was little I never let go of her hand and my head was on a swivel. As she got much older I told her to go for the eyes and throat. Bastard can't run, if he can't see or breath.

Those malls in Mishawaka and down on Ireland Road were not a place for kids to run loose.

Is it time for neighborhood patrols with an AR yet?

**** man, it sure seems like it...Even though the only child "abductions" I can recall from my town are from parent's(usually Dads) that take their kid because their ex-spouse won't let him/her see them.

I really just can't fathom what someone has to go through or what kind of chemical imbalance someone has to have to look at a child and think "oh yeah, I want to take that kid's innocence and/or kill them." Completely FUBAR.
