3-Year-Old Kidnapped in Broad Daylight From Grandma

Several bystanders near a Bronx gas station are being hailed as heroes after they helped thwart an attempted kidnapping of a 3-year-old girl. Surveillance video shows the stranger coming toward the grandmother, who was walking home with the little girl and her young twin brothers from a nearby park. Suddenly, the man violently snatched the girl and ran in the other direction. The grandmother gave chase, and so did good Samaritans who heard her screams.

[@CEO_Phenomenon]

Seeing her slowly run after the kidnapper is so heartbreaking. She probably hasn't ran in years. God bless that grandma for chasing after the kidnapper, even if her body wasn't meant for running, and I hope the kid is now living happy.

I wasn't necessarily saying that either, though, I was just saying that she should have had a stroller. Admittedly, my emotions were a little heightened because right before this video, I watched the one where 3 kids go missing, and 2 of them die, due to their parents not taking their responsibility for their children's safety seriously enough. Both children that died were toddlers who had parents that were walking far ahead of them, and suddenly realized that they were no longer behind them. It was incredibly upsetting.
