Well Done to all the police officers involved. I think that for every 'bad' cop there are many, many more who sincerely want to help the community. We may not like it when we get pulled over for speeding, but the police are always there if we need them for cases such as this.
ali xena the remedy for not getting pulled over is simple and very very very easy to do just don't speed remedy for almost any ticket is to not do whatever the person did wrong very simple yet people blame police when they get a ticket it was not police fault the person speed or ran a red light or run a stop sign or did not signal or the newest one it is not police fault people drive distracted. police did not do it it was the drivers fault but they are still upset with police
canadiancatgreen yes, well, thank you for the lecture. I actually said "We may not like it when we get pulled over for speeding......" I did not say anything about having ANY bad feelings towards the police officer, just that we don't like it if we get pulled over for speeding and cop a fine. Do you think that people should enjoy getting pulled over and getting a ticket for a traffic infringement?? Believe it or not, some people are actually mature enough to acknowledge they have broken a road rule and been fairly caught and fined. But we don't like it when it happens, but we hold no malice towards the police officer concerned. By the way, a few "bad" cops do exist, you can not deny that, but my point was that they are in the minority.
ali xena I know sorry I was not trying to lecture you It was to others. pepole complain about getting caught at something the very well knew was wrong. I agree po0olice did great here sorry for confusion and any upset I might of caused
7:30 I felt it in his voice and I noticed it in his posture and facial reaction. My son died too I can’t imagine the fear and emotions he was experiencing. 🙏🏾
Prison inmates, especially inmates doing time for murder do not have much empathy for pedophiles. They are often killed in prison or beaten regularly while the cheeks of the prison guards turn the other way.
Judges are bound by the state laws regarding that particular crime(s), and to a certain extent by precedent. It's a problem with the law that often leads to soft sentences.
This episode was a scary situation. Parents Teach your children never talk or go anywhere with a stranger even if they offer them candy it's very dangerous. I'm so glad it was a happy ending and he got to see his daughter again. Hug and Love your children everyday and night
@@Dobviewschildren are the most vulnerable to strangers I became teary eyed when shannon was abducted I was worried she was in danger but in the end she was recovered safe and reunited with her father 17 years are y kidding me he should have gotten the life sentence in prison period
Deputy Sheriff Prospero did a brilliant job by trying to think how the kidnapper might about where to take the child. based on his experience as an officer. all of the officers altogether did a magnificent job by setting up a perimeter and getting that bad guy caught!
In the early 1960s when I was their age it was no problem, nor was it a problem to walk a ways from home or ride the city bus alone. Those days are long gone for good now.
Muffs 55mercury I was born in 1954 & as a child we went everywhere, walking alone or with a friend. Even trick or treating. I walked to my grandma’s house for lunch everyday in the first grade. Had to walk through a remote area.
@@SKC193 I was born the same year as you. In the 1960s went to a centrally located parochial school six miles from home and rode the city bus myself to and from home. There was never a problem. Sometime walk or bike to the local school a few blocks away to shoot basketballs. Again no problems even in remote areas. By about 12 I was able to stay out after dark. My parents knew where I was so no big deal.
Rocky Melendez I would have to agree with you, how come on some episodes there's always someone watching that classic Christmas movie, "It's a Wonderful Life?", also that 6-year-old little girl should consider herself lucky, because God only knows what might've happen, I think that Parents should sit down with their children, and address the Stranger Danger to them, Parents should let their children know that a Stranger shouldn't ask for help, shouldn't have their picture taken without their parent's permission, should never go anywhere with a stranger without their Parents permission, should never, EVVER, take nothing as Presents from a Stranger, like a puppy, a kitten, a new toy, a DVD, a candy bar, or as The Rock would say "It doesn't matter what kind of Present", and Parent's should let their children know all the tricks and all the lures that a Stranger would use against them, also Parents should have their Children walk with other children to the school bus stop, also if a Parent is running a late of picking up their child from school, they should call the school to let them know that they're going to be late, or they'll have a Friend or a Relative pick him or her up, or if he or she would wait for them at the Principal's office, Also Parents should keep on eye on what their children is doing, that goes for Neighbor's too, also Parents and Children should have a secret code or a password, if a Stranger doesn't know it, then they would get away fast and tell a trusted adult or a policeman.
Rocky Melendez they blew me so much. I mean I like money but really. I know they were little but they didn't teach their kids anything back then but look when crossing streets. Besides I would take the money, go back in the house and say...DADDY LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!
Jfjkncnincc vjhncsshk and we can take it from here on out I think take a shower lol and I will be blessed with baby and I'm not sure what time I'll get it in a few weeks to get the money to you on
He's one of the coolest people I've ever seen on the Rescue 911 clips. Like the way he talks and how he just destroyed the suspect's getaway with what looks like an effortless takedown. I know he said his heart was pounding, but he just seemed so chill while still being super effective, you know?
@@staceyking7911 Hi. I agree. I had that Camillion song as a ring tone on my phone in 2006... have you heard it? Cops are coming up fast behind him racial profiling him...lol It's incredible song...I can't remember the name of it now...but i will...I just thought of it...It's called "Riding Dirty"
Father mention earlier that about cases of missing children that never been found or later turn up dead . What if that man in the video was behind some of those cases ? What if he also a child killer that never got convicted ? Had that girl not been rescued , mostly likely, she'll would had been killed and prehaps never found. Thank God she was saved or else.
The police deserve a lot of credit your service is deeply appreciated thanks take care way to go rescue 911 your show rocks keep up the good work ! Joe
The father really had terrible things happen to him in that he lost his son sometime earlier and nearly lost a daughter to a pedophile. It's just in the nature of a child to be friendly to strangers until they know better. We were taught in pre-school (circa 1959 for me) to NEVER accept a ride or candy, gum, etc from a stranger. Shannon's sister is a hero here in witnessing this and giving some details. The girls are approaching their 40s now and I hope life has been good to them.
Even worse is the one thing that saved one of his girls, childhood obesity is probably going to kill her later on in life. The pedophile took the cutest one... Hahaha hahahaaaaaaa ha
They are kids! We teach kids not to talk to strangers. But if you ask a child what a stranger is they tell you it's someone in a trench coat! To a child, if a person talks to them and seems friendly? Then that is not a stranger. They have proven over and over again that kids who were taught not to talk to strangers will still go off with strangers! So it doesn't work.
Nancy Farkas Not always the case, I think. I once saw a next-door neighbor kid with a guitar so I thought I'd talk to him about it; I said something and he just walked inside slowly without speaking a word.
@abc123 I find that hard to believe. Regardless I have watched numerous dateline specials and more where the kids were taught about strangers and STILL went off with them,gave out their personal info and even let them in the home with no other adults around. And these were kids old enough to know better. If you think stranger danger works you are a fool!
This hits too close to home. My 2 yr old uncle died in a house fire and I was almost kidnapped 4 yrs ago walking home from work. So glad they found her in time.
This why you keep a eye on your kids at all times the dispatcher and police did a excellent job catching the robber even on rescue 911your show rocks thanks job well done you should be proud ! Joe
The problem is... no matter how much you are told to not go to lonely places, not talk to strangers, when your young, you think "that only happens to other people...." you have this false sense of safety and feel like you're exempt from things like that... til something like that actually happens to you, then life is NEVER the same again.
i seen a little girl walkin home from the elementary school today. its like wth were are the parents or at least a teacher or supervisor. made me sick to think some parents will let there kid just wander home by themselves. if that were my kid there would be no way i would ever let him or her walk home alone. and this little girl couldnt have been more then 6 or 7. and there are some wierd people in this town
In the '70s, we all pretty much walked home alone or w/friends or siblings of around the same age. No one thought twice about it. I had two instances (the last when I was 16 and standing at a busy bus stop) where an adult tried to get me to get in the car. My mom educated me at a young age and thank goodness nothing happened.
Awesome episode... :) Plus, I like McGruff the Crime Dog, too. “Take a Bite Out of Crime.” For me, that’s a really awesome phrase to memorize right there as well. :)
During the summer of 2013 I was almost kidnapped right in front of my house. That was the most scariest times of my life. I was lucky enough that the guy let me go. The scary part was that he worked at the school I was attending ( I think). After that happened there were multiple days when I couldn’t sleep or anything. I also had to get counseling for a while because of this.
Almost happened to me when I was about 10-11. Very slovenly and umkempt guy kept yelling and flagging me down so I took off as fast as I could peddle my bicycle. Fortunately the traffic kept him from crossing the street and possibly chasing me. That was about 55 years ago and is still a chilling memory to this day. I hope your mind is at ease, Amy. Hugssss.
@@FN_FAL_4_ever I think that's the one she was referring to. Any pedophile should have the key tossed away. Shannon was lucky her dad and sister spotted the car to give lawmen description of it.
NICE WORK! GREAT GOING! I hope you received a hero's reward -- at the least, a pay raise or hearty bonus! And, I absolutely loved the ending of this video w the classroom instruction. Makes me so happy to see policework of this caliber.
ok I watched 1 min of this, already spotted all the red flags. First of all, kids should never talk to a stranger behind a fence, that's sketchy enough as it is, secondly, the counting money thing is very similar to the other tricks that kidnappers use on kids " Like I've got kittens in my car?,or " Can you help me find my puppy? but they are kids, they can be tricked. Parents need to teach their kids that if anyone attempts to talk to them, and try to lure them into their car, say NO!, and run to the safest place, return home if possible or get to a neighbour's house, any closed area, as soon as possible.
+Helena huang Well, that's good to know, Also I think that Parents and Children should have a Secret word or Password, because If a Stranger doesn't know the Secret word or Password, Then Children Should Run Away Fast and Tell a Trusted Adult or a Police Officer, And Children should learn to Fight Back, Like If a Stranger Tries to grab Him or Her, Then He or She would use their elbows, fists, legs, Or if they had a Backpack full of Schoolbooks They should use that as a weapon, Like throwing it in front of a Stranger's Face, Then That should give a Child a Chance to reach a safe place and tell a trusted adult or a Police Officer, also Children should walk with other Children because there's Safety in numbers, If a Stranger tries to get them, Won't be able to get them with all of those people there, Also Children should never, ever take nothing as Presents, Like a New Toy, or a New DVD, or a New Video Game, or a Puppy, a Kitten, or a Candy Bar, from a Stranger, Children should Not have Their Picture Taken without Their Parents Permission, Or Should Never Go Anywhere with a Stranger, Or should never, Ever Keep Secrets, also Parents should Pay attention about what their children are doing, if it's playing in the front yard of the house, or in a playground, or a park, or a carnival, or on the internet, at all times, Also Children shouldn't play anywhere with an obstructed view, Also if Children are lost in a store, like WAL-MART or K-MART or TARGET, They should either look for an employee with a uniform or a nametag and tell he or she that they're lost, or go to the courtesy desk at the front of the store. Also Children should know that a Stranger shouldn't be asking for help, like finding their lost puppy or kitten, Children should run and tell a trusted adult, also When Children are Home Alone, They should remember to have all the Doors and Windows Locked at All Times, If a Stranger comes to The House, Then Children should quickly grab the telephone, go to the safest place in the house, like a bedroom, bathroom, closed the door, lock it, put something at the back of the door, and call 911.
Cjinvgh and I will of course be there at the same time and place and I'll get you doing today and how you feel about me and I will be there in the morning to make surely I will be there for the
Stories like this should be a lesson to be learned for everyone, it doesn't matter where you are where you live or where you go, crimes like this one here can happen any where at any time as well. The lesson to be learned is to stay safe as well as staying away from people you don't know.
This situation really reached to my heart especially when the man said that he lost his son in a house fire. It appeared even more painful when this guy in the lime green car snatched the young girl. I think that it is good that the suspect got arrested and sent to prison. I hope that the suspect got the maximum punishment.
Chin and I will be there for the call today and how to get a hold of your mom and dad in a few minutes and I will be there for the call today and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow thenI will be there for the call today and tomorrow and will be there in a few days and I will be there in a few 😊👋 yourself and your family are well and happy New year to you with all my heart and soul into the world to me and
This is why every generation needs to remind children "Don't Talk to Strangers and Don't go with them!" No Good Person would ask a child to go with them.
I walked home all the time by myself in high school and junior high. We lived right down the street, i just had to call my mom before I left school to let her know I was heading out. Though if I hung out longer than 30 minutes she'd call the school and have me paged. I learned quickly to let her know when I was going to be longer than a certain time. The biggest problem for me in high school was bomb scares. When I was a Junior and a Senior we got a ton of them and the first one where they locked us in the gym for four hours while inspecting the rest of the school they refused to let me even call my parents to let me go home or let them now what was going on.
Thank God the six year old acted so quickly, some would have just waited expecting him to come back and bring them for ice cream like he said, and then the moment would have been lost for the Father to see the car to be able to describe it accurately.
There are a lot of haters out there who dislike the police officers, but there are always there when you need them, you have to be appreciated, anything could of happened
My son will just run up to anyone and I hate it!!! It scares the cramp out of me. I am always telling him that he can't just run up to a stranger like that and that not all strangers are bad but some are. He is 3 and a half but I always keep him in his stroller or in the shopping cart even though he is old enough to walk right next to be. But intel he can learn not to run up to everyone he sees I will continue to do this
This is Why Children Should Never, Ever Talk to Strangers, Also If Stranger should approach them, Children should know to go to a safe spot, where there's lots of Trusted Adults, Children should Also asked their Parents If It's OK for them to go to their Friends House or Their Parents Should get to know their children's friend's parents, also Children should learn to Fight Back, By using their feet, fist, etc. etc, also Screaming out the word "FIRE!!!", or "THAT'S NOT MY MOM or DAD!!!!".
It’s been 28 years since this happened so Shannon is 34 and Rachel 33 now. I suppose they’re both married with children. The real hero of this story is Rachel because she ran to get Richard when she saw Shannon get kidnapped. It makes you wonder if she will get her own ‘It's a Wonderful Life’ someday, just to see what would happen if she had not have been there to help Shannon when she needed her. I’m sure Shannon can never thank Rachel enough for her help. She’s forever in her debt. I’m sure that Rachel and Shannon tell this story to their kids and make sure they don’t do the same thing.
Child predation was high in the 90's I was almost a victim if my Brother and my friend didn't juke the van following us 8 and 9 year olds through an alley we knew well.
My son is way way waaay to friendly with people. Way to friendly. He is the kid that will walk up to a stranger and get into the car. He is way to trusting and that scares me. He is not shy at all.
This is way you should never, ever leave your children outside unsupervised, Because you never know who's out-there in this world, there's people that can take a child and put him or her up for an illeagle adoption, there's a lot of underground adoption agency's in this world, God only knows how many of them there are, and Children should know if they see a Stranger coming toward them, They'll run away and tell a trusted adult.
Cjinvgh and we can go from there and we can talk about it tomorrow morning if you can get a r ey and a half of a few things to do that but I will be there at the same time as the one you want to be
How long was she missing? He had the chance to molest her??? That's fucking heart breaking. I have a 10 year old daughter a 3 almost 4 year old son and I'm pregnant now. This is why I can't trust anyone.
The dad is so lucky to get his daughter back. If the police did not catch that predator, I do not even want to think what could happens to that little girl. So glad they find them and catch him. This happens in the 80's.
Well it is possible that the predator would have then raped the little girl which is a horrible thing for anyone to go through. Thankfully the predator was caught by the police before he could do it to her or anyone else.
Did anyone else notice that the Father was watching "Its a wonderful life" on T.V. 2:43 - 2:45 you can hear George Bailey. Yep Dad every once in awhle It's a wonderful life. Keep your daughters close and safe.

Hey this was like the early 90s that much money back then was probably like 40 or 50 bucks in 2017 money.

No, even $20 in 1991 is only $36.xx now, late 2018. It's still a lot to a kid.

They do until other inmates get a hold of them and cause them to be released to the funeral home

This why you keep a eye on your kids at all times the dispatcher and police did a excellent job catching the robber even on rescue 911your show rocks thanks job well done you should be proud ! Joe
Thank God for good cops!
The problem is... no matter how much you are told to not go to lonely places, not talk to strangers, when your young, you think "that only happens to other people...." you have this false sense of safety and feel like you're exempt from things like that... til something like that actually happens to you, then life is NEVER the same again.
That officer is amazing man
God bless you all officers
i seen a little girl walkin home from the elementary school today. its like wth were are the parents or at least a teacher or supervisor. made me sick to think some parents will let there kid just wander home by themselves. if that were my kid there would be no way i would ever let him or her walk home alone. and this little girl couldnt have been more then 6 or 7. and there are some wierd people in this town
In the '70s, we all pretty much walked home alone or w/friends or siblings of around the same age. No one thought twice about it. I had two instances (the last when I was 16 and standing at a busy bus stop) where an adult tried to get me to get in the car. My mom educated me at a young age and thank goodness nothing happened.
back when it was safe to
ddivincenzo1 In the 1950s my Mom (No older than 8 years old then) walked all over town without an adult. It was a whole other world.
Awesome episode... :) Plus, I like McGruff the Crime Dog, too.
“Take a Bite Out of Crime.” For me, that’s a really awesome phrase to memorize right there as well. :)
Police Officer who rescued great job👍
Great thinking on the part of the cop that caught him!
During the summer of 2013 I was almost kidnapped right in front of my house. That was the most scariest times of my life. I was lucky enough that the guy let me go. The scary part was that he worked at the school I was attending ( I think). After that happened there were multiple days when I couldn’t sleep or anything. I also had to get counseling for a while because of this.
Almost happened to me when I was about 10-11. Very slovenly and umkempt guy kept yelling and flagging me down so I took off as fast as I could peddle my bicycle. Fortunately the traffic kept him from crossing the street and possibly chasing me. That was about 55 years ago and is still a chilling memory to this day. I hope your mind is at ease, Amy. Hugssss.
The other guy that did this on 911 got life.
Are you talking about the one in east Texas?
@@FN_FAL_4_ever I think that's the one she was referring to. Any pedophile should have the key tossed away. Shannon was lucky her dad and sister spotted the car to give lawmen description of it.
NICE WORK! GREAT GOING! I hope you received a hero's reward -- at the least, a pay raise or hearty bonus! And, I absolutely loved the ending of this video w the classroom instruction. Makes me so happy to see policework of this caliber.
ok I watched 1 min of this, already spotted all the red flags. First of all, kids should never talk to a stranger behind a fence, that's sketchy enough as it is, secondly, the counting money thing is very similar to the other tricks that kidnappers use on kids " Like I've got kittens in my car?,or " Can you help me find my puppy? but they are kids, they can be tricked. Parents need to teach their kids that if anyone attempts to talk to them, and try to lure them into their car, say NO!, and run to the safest place, return home if possible or get to a neighbour's house, any closed area, as soon as possible.
+Helena huang Well, that's good to know, Also I think that Parents and Children should have a Secret word or Password, because If a Stranger doesn't know the Secret word or Password, Then Children Should Run Away Fast and Tell a Trusted Adult or a Police Officer, And Children should learn to Fight Back, Like If a Stranger Tries to grab Him or Her, Then He or She would use their elbows, fists, legs, Or if they had a Backpack full of Schoolbooks They should use that as a weapon, Like throwing it in front of a Stranger's Face, Then That should give a Child a Chance to reach a safe place and tell a trusted adult or a Police Officer, also Children should walk with other Children because there's Safety in numbers, If a Stranger tries to get them, Won't be able to get them with all of those people there, Also Children should never, ever take nothing as Presents, Like a New Toy, or a New DVD, or a New Video Game, or a Puppy, a Kitten, or a Candy Bar, from a Stranger, Children should Not have Their Picture Taken without Their Parents Permission, Or Should Never Go Anywhere with a Stranger, Or should never, Ever Keep Secrets, also Parents should Pay attention about what their children are doing, if it's playing in the front yard of the house, or in a playground, or a park, or a carnival, or on the internet, at all times, Also Children shouldn't play anywhere with an obstructed view, Also if Children are lost in a store, like WAL-MART or K-MART or TARGET, They should either look for an employee with a uniform or a nametag and tell he or she that they're lost, or go to the courtesy desk at the front of the store. Also Children should know that a Stranger shouldn't be asking for help, like finding their lost puppy or kitten, Children should run and tell a trusted adult, also When Children are Home Alone, They should remember to have all the Doors and Windows Locked at All Times, If a Stranger comes to The House, Then Children should quickly grab the telephone, go to the safest place in the house, like a bedroom, bathroom, closed the door, lock it, put something at the back of the door, and call 911.
I agree with you 100%
If they told me they had trouble counting money i would be like "oh really why dont you ask someone else to help you then walk away
Become a Block Parent.
Cjinvgh and I will of course be there at the same time and place and I'll get you doing today and how you feel about me and I will be there in the morning to make surely I will be there for the
Learning CPR is a good thing to Saving lives
The kids now learned their lessons:NEVER EVER trust a stranger!
Never go anywhere with strangers.
+Andrea Patane Agreed.
TommyPickles Fan1992 Safety first as always. Please read about on www.kidshealth.org and it'll tell you all about being street smart.
Can we have the call and I will let you know when I get home from work until you get out of work on the phone and I will call
This episode brings tears to my eyes everytime
7:04 that man is smart
VERY smart! Like "U can run, but U can't hide".
That police officer is a genius
Way to go PoPO!!! Probably saved her life! :)
Stories like this should be a lesson to be learned for everyone, it doesn't matter where you are where you live or where you go, crimes like this one here can happen any where at any time as well. The lesson to be learned is to stay safe as well as staying away from people you don't know.
That cops the real Hero who was able to figure out where the kidnapper was. Truly took that pos down.
captain kirk plus police show equals one of the best combinations in the 90's
Thank God nothing happened to her I am so Happy she had a smart little Sister who went and got help.
He said don’t worry I’ll be back for you later lmao
Nice mustache officer, he has great style of dressing. I am glad everyone is okay. :)
That moustache is highly important, it contains a mini radar system, thermal optics, bush for concealment, laser, camera, etc. Every good cop has one.
This situation really reached to my heart especially when the man said that he lost his son in a house fire. It appeared even more painful when this guy in the lime green car snatched the young girl. I think that it is good that the suspect got arrested and sent to prison. I hope that the suspect got the maximum punishment.
You mean life imprisonment right? In that case I hope that he got the maximum prison sentence as then he would get the comeuppance that he deserves.
17 yrs not enough. Hope he liked meeting Bubba! Black men smoking weed get that sentence
Just realized... The Philly Engine at the beginning is probably one of the spare trucks they're still using now
Those things do last darn near forever.
There's a few videos on TH-cam of those old rigs in service, running as reserve engines/trucks.
Those are some of the best fire engines in the world
Thank God for good police work!!
Crime was at an all time high back in 1991.
Jeff Bell , I would have to agree with you.
It does seem that crimes against children were much more prevalent. A scary time to be a child indeed!
No kidding! Think how many kids were abducted or even kidnapped in my own state. We didn't even have an Amber alert back then.
Jeff Bell ikr
Chin and I will be there for the call today and how to get a hold of your mom and dad in a few minutes and I will be there for the call today and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow thenI will be there for the call today and tomorrow and will be there in a few days and I will be there in a few 😊👋 yourself and your family are well and happy New year to you with all my heart and soul into the world to me and
This is why every generation needs to remind children "Don't Talk to Strangers and Don't go with them!"
No Good Person would ask a child to go with them.
He was only given 17 years? There are people in prison for longer than that for having an ounce of weed! What a country!
+tvcharleytown Probably because he was only charged with kidnapping with intent to defile
I walked home all the time by myself in high school and junior high. We lived right down the street, i just had to call my mom before I left school to let her know I was heading out. Though if I hung out longer than 30 minutes she'd call the school and have me paged. I learned quickly to let her know when I was going to be longer than a certain time.
The biggest problem for me in high school was bomb scares. When I was a Junior and a Senior we got a ton of them and the first one where they locked us in the gym for four hours while inspecting the rest of the school they refused to let me even call my parents to let me go home or let them now what was going on.
So you were traumatized. It might be good for you to talk to a good PTSD therapist.
This is why they always tell you schools when you're young, "NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS!"
We all love stories with a happy ending!!!!!!!!
That cop was great. Tremendous instincts.
That’s why little kids shouldn’t talk to strangers
Thank God the six year old acted so quickly, some would have just waited expecting him to come back and bring them for ice cream like he said, and then the moment would have been lost for the Father to see the car to be able to describe it accurately.
Kids need to learn not to talk and trust to strangers or it's danger to them literally. Stranger is danger
It's a miracle this little girl was saved by these sheriff's deputies!!!
Never believe in going to get money or ice cream from strangers
when this cop busts you for weed, he smokes it
That cop should have gotten all the best medals and honors ever
Poor Shannon....that’s just terrifying beyond belief....and the fact that Rachel saw it happen before her very eyes....some people are just monsters
I was a child there age when this episode aired. Now I have 2 daughters and this is shocking
Roy, let your little girls see this episode, and talk to them @ this subject
What happened to these days? Cops were good and the world wasn't so damn crazy. When a kidnapping was a rare crime. God I miss the good old days
There are a lot of haters out there who dislike the police officers, but there are always there when you need them, you have to be appreciated, anything could of happened
And this is why I bring my dog outside with me
Imagine if there was a pet dog @ nearby
Never leave your children unattended
You are a hero officer...God used you... I'm proud of you all
If he was aware of all the kidnappings in the area and no kids were found. As a father why would you let your kids play outside alone.
My son will just run up to anyone and I hate it!!! It scares the cramp out of me. I am always telling him that he can't just run up to a stranger like that and that not all strangers are bad but some are. He is 3 and a half but I always keep him in his stroller or in the shopping cart even though he is old enough to walk right next to be. But intel he can learn not to run up to everyone he sees I will continue to do this
Cop's a hero!!
They may have released him in 2008?? Thats 17 years from 1991. Idk if im right necessarily or not. But it is pretty accurate.
This is Why Children Should Never, Ever Talk to Strangers, Also If Stranger should approach them, Children should know to go to a safe spot, where there's lots of Trusted Adults, Children should Also asked their Parents If It's OK for them to go to their Friends House or Their Parents Should get to know their children's friend's parents, also Children should learn to Fight Back, By using their feet, fist, etc. etc, also Screaming out the word "FIRE!!!", or "THAT'S NOT MY MOM or DAD!!!!".
It’s been 28 years since this happened so Shannon is 34 and Rachel 33 now. I suppose they’re both married with children. The real hero of this story is Rachel because she ran to get Richard when she saw Shannon get kidnapped. It makes you wonder if she will get her own ‘It's a Wonderful Life’ someday, just to see what would happen if she had not have been there to help Shannon when she needed her. I’m sure Shannon can never thank Rachel enough for her help. She’s forever in her debt. I’m sure that Rachel and Shannon tell this story to their kids and make sure they don’t do the same thing.
This family's been through a lot. They lost one member tragically and now this.
Child predation was high in the 90's I was almost a victim if my Brother and my friend didn't juke the van following us 8 and 9 year olds through an alley we knew well.
I learned about STRANGER DANGER from Rescue 911, COPS, and Americas Most Wanted growing up.
Even as a woman I am wary of people I do not know!
My son is way way waaay to friendly with people. Way to friendly. He is the kid that will walk up to a stranger and get into the car. He is way to trusting and that scares me. He is not shy at all.
Great police work by Deputy Prospero, the other deputies, and the dispatcher.
This is way you should never, ever leave your children outside unsupervised, Because you never know who's out-there in this world, there's people that can take a child and put him or her up for an illeagle adoption, there's a lot of underground adoption agency's in this world, God only knows how many of them there are, and Children should know if they see a Stranger coming toward them, They'll run away and tell a trusted adult.
1991, the year I was born. Damn. -.-
I was born in 1987.
Cjinvgh and we can go from there and we can talk about it tomorrow morning if you can get a r ey and a half of a few things to do that but I will be there at the same time as the one you want to be
I would have grabbed that money and said thanks
Those parents have been through a lot apparently. First lost their son tragically, then this.
Me da un miedo terrible el ver cuando secuestran niños...
Siempre explicarles que no suban a automóviles con desconocidos...
How long was she missing? He had the chance to molest her??? That's fucking heart breaking. I have a 10 year old daughter a 3 almost 4 year old son and I'm pregnant now. This is why I can't trust anyone.
As soon as I typed this and hit send he said she was only missing for 30 minutes!!! Yet this man was able to molest this baby.. Sick bastard.
The dad is so lucky to get his daughter back. If the police did not catch that predator, I do not even want to think what could happens to that little girl. So glad they find them and catch him. This happens in the 80's.
Well it is possible that the predator would have then raped the little girl which is a horrible thing for anyone to go through. Thankfully the predator was caught by the police before he could do it to her or anyone else.
Life without the possibility of parole that's what he should of got!!!!!
I completely agree with you on that.
Did anyone else notice that the Father was watching "Its a wonderful life" on T.V. 2:43 - 2:45 you can hear George Bailey. Yep Dad every once in awhle It's a wonderful life. Keep your daughters close and safe.
