Yikes in broad daylight. I live 2 blocks from there in Gtown.

NOTHING about a child talking to a stranger.

Read the WTOP reporting.

Does she turn it down? You are correct, we need to pass laws to involuntarily treat and hospitalize people.

You see, there's this little thing called the Constitution that doesn't allow the government to simply round up and involuntarily hospitalize and treat undesirable people.

I don’t think that’s true.x

It's not true at all; PP has no idea what she is talking about.

Child sex trafficking is very lucrative. Beware. Rich neighborhoods have a false sense of security.

Because it allows the comfort of being able to tell yourself that it could never happen to you or your child. That is why DCUM always, always blames the victim.

What? I live in downtown Bethesda with my two kids. Can you tell me more?

I was driving. My daughter was in the back seat. It was a weekday, early evening and dark out. I was on Woodmont heading home, at the stop sign near BGR. A woman ran up behind an older man and 5 year old girl leaving Tasty Diner. (I later found out it was a grandfather / granddaughter.). The woman knocked him down from behind, knocked him down (later found out he had a broken something, nose?) she snatched the kid, ran into the consignment shop to hide. She was babbling to the salespeople that “the older man had inappropriate intentions towards the little girl, and she had to save her.” (Again, found out these details later.) I called 911. They were on the scene impressively fast! I told them I think they are in the consignment shop. About 45 minutes later, they came out with the woman (tall, thin, AA, 30’s, found out later thar she lived in Bethesda.) I stayed in the scene to give a statement. Just soooo glad it ended well!

These SAVE THE CHILDREN nutcases are going to be hitting more and more against non-traditional families.

For the moment I thought you meant SAVE THE CHiLDREN, you know, the rapey non-profit? Wouldn’t put it past them

Very. And prices vary by color.

Texas Penal Code Chapter 9.32 explicitly states than an actor (you ) may use deadly force to prevent imminent commission of a laundry list of violent crimes, among them the crime of “"aggravated kidnapping”, which is the Texas legal term for what you describe.

Texas sounds like a place where you can open fire on a person getting away with a crying kid (maybe their own!), kill both, and be called the hero.

I mean all the people who think they are sex trafficking vigilantes.

This is obviously a very serious and scary situation, and I am so glad it ended well for the family.

That said, is no one else struck by the fact that the guy is wearing Crocs? I mean, if I were going to try to run off with someone's 4yo in broad daylight, Crocs would not be my footwear of choice. Heck, I don't even try to wrangle my own 4yo in Crocs.

Okay, back to discussing the logistics of sex trafficking and disparaging the City Council.

Jesus, your brains have been rotted by "child sex trafficking" fear mongering/moral panic messaging. I would be willing to bet any amount of money that sex trafficking had nothing to do with this incident.
