Title: Tonight I'm the Luckiest man alive!!!
Post by mynm156 on Oct 5th, 2006, 1:34am
A day like any other.  My two girls go outside our little double wide trailer to play in the common area with the other children just like they always do.  However, this time there was someone else.  Someone you only hear about on TV.  They kind of person that OTHER people have enter into thier lives.  This man armed with a COOKIE tried to abduct my 4 year old daughter.  Only by divine intervention am I hear now telling you that my baby is home safe in her bed.  I just spent the last several hours with the Police and THEY HAVE BEEN AMAZING!!  They are out here in force looking for this guy!  My friends my Brothers and sisters be careful watch your babies this could happen to anyone at anytime!!  

Thanks for keeping your babies safe and thanks for always being there!!

Your Brother in pain

Howard

Howard...I cannot even imagine the horror.

  "our pain" is nothing compared to what a parent must feel when something like this happens.

  Thank you God for the divine intervention.

They'll find him, Howard.  Nothing focuses their efforts quite so fully as something like this.

I'm horrified that this happened to you and your family--but thankful that the result was good, and your daughter is safe.

Tell us about it when you have the time to do so.

Best wishes to you and yours,

George

 Howard, I am at a loss as to what to say except Thank You God for looking after this little Angel. I cannot even imagine the horror you must have felt.

 Why can't I ever be in the right place at the right time? I would gladly take double Clusters just to lay my hands on one of these predators!!! I pray they get him soon. Please keep us informed.

 I am horrified and very happy for you at the same time Bro.

OMG! That is every parent's (and grand parent's) nightmare.  I'm so very happy that your baby is home safe and sound.  

I hope they catch the scumbag and put him in the general population and "accidentally" let slip what he is in for.  Child molesters (they called them "Chicken Hawks" when I worked as a prison guard back in the 80's) don't have much of a life expectancy in the general population.

All my best for you and your family.

Mike

Howard I'm so glad you're all safe together. It IS every parents worst fear and I've gone cold here thinking about it.
Give yourself a big hug from me, if you're feeling how I'm feeling then you're tearful and a hug works wonders for that  [smiley=hug.gif]
Stay vigilant and I hope they catch the scumbag
lots of love

Howard,
Your daughter must be a pretty brave smart little girl! Usually comes from parents who care enough to teach their kids how to be safe. Right on.  Parents: if ya have little ones-teach them them to scream as loud as they can-"You're not my daddy" teach em to get away and run really fast, and teach them that its okay to kick, bite scratch or do anything else to hurt someone who is trying to take them.
We live in dangerous times.  Howard, I thank God your daughter is safe.

Howard, your story is remarkable.  What a trying experience for you to face.  Thank you for sharing this as a reminder to those of us who have vulnerable children.  Even the teens are at risk for evil folks with "cookies".  So thank you again for the reminder.

Howard.....how are your little girls feeling about what nearly happened?  This is a traumatic experience for all of your family.

You were blessed and we thank God for his intervention.

Thank you also for sharing this with us.  We will all be  more watchful....this is really scarey.

For those of us with kids that age, could you tell me what your kid did to keep from being abducted.  I try to teach my son to find someone they know if a stranger tries to talk to them, but I don't know if my son would remember.

Side Note;  I work with 3-5 year old kids and whenever they balk at going with me the first time, the parents always seem annoyed but I always congratulate them.  It's a sign of good parenting when your kids are weary of strangers, even if you tell them it's OK.

You are truely a blessed man, and I, for one, am glad you are.

Post by Mattrf on Oct 5th, 2006, 10:34am
I am so glad this worked out for the best, man talk about scary, I know my wife and I have both had nightmares about something like this happening to one of our girls.
I have always said there is nothing worth going to prison for except one thing, and that is protecting my girls, no one should ever harm innocent little children and those who do have a special room in hell just waiting for them.

So glad she is safe, give her a hug from all of us and tell her we are so glad she is safe.

Thanks everybody!  It has been a so surreal we were a heartbeat away from living the rest of our lives dead inside.  Even with this close call I still CAN NOT FATHOM the level of disaster we nearly desended into.  A witness (another little girl) says that the man had been hiding and jumped out from behind a block wall grabed my Auston from behind. Auston kicked him, pushed away his hands causing him to drop her and she ran!

Today we expect more police here to interview us and the neighbor girl again.  Thanks again all! More than you know!!

thank goodness your family is ok and safe.  It is a real shame, but Krista and I dont even let our daughter play in the front yard just for this reason.


Title: Re: Tonight I'm the Luckiest man alive!!!
Post by mynm156 on Oct 5th, 2006, 10:33pm
Yes it is very sad.  I sat there and watched them play outside today and will keep on it that way.  They were both so scared lastnight they didnt want to go out and play today and I cant let this A$$WHIPE leave them like this I am however, looking VERY Closely at every guy I see around here.  She said that he had a Tattoo of Scooby Doo on his shoulder Which REALLY impressed the Sheriff.

Anyway gang Thanks again

Howard

I can see where it would.  It's a very strong identifier, and will enable them to track him down much more easily.   It's remarkable that a small child would remember it.  They'll get him, Howard.  It's only a matter of time--and I don't think it will take very long.

Just an update after the event the following day i was to expect the Detectives of the Maricopa County Sheriffs Department to follow up.  I took that day off to be here.  no one showed or even called.  I called them and they explained that this was a prority yet there was an officer involved shooting that took up their efforts at the time.  I have called now several times and have been told that THEY WILL FOLLOW UP.  Yet not even a phone call.  I am not sure what to expect and dont get me wrong I am one of the LUCKY ones but this guy is still out there.  I now look at every man I see for the man that matches my daughter's discription.  If they are not comming then just tell me that and let that be that. Dont tell me its a prority then leave it.  

Sorry for the rant folks thanks for all the love.

Howard

Stay on their asses and don't let up! Ask them if they would like to find this guy now before he succeeds in adbucting some other child and only god knows what.
It's a sick world man. I pray God keep your family safe.

Peace,
Carl

Howard--
   Just wanted to tell you how happy I am for you and yours--thank God !! I had a similar scare last spring with my oldest kids on the way back from the park. One good tip is to teach kids to yell "FIRE" @ the top of their lungs if approached by someone--more people will respond to that than anything else.
    I don't know where you are, but in our county we can access the Registered Sex Offender's list on the Sherriff's website and look up offenders by county. Our site has pictures, release dates, registration dates, work and home addresses. It also lists any identifying marks and tatoos. It might be worth a look to see if any are near you. We all have the right to know whether one of these offenders is living near us.

Excellent idea Tata. I'd seach that data base far and wide hoping to find the one with a Scooby Doo tattoo and hoping it wasn't a new tattoo since he was last arrested.

Best of luck to you Howard!

True, The guy would be happy if I caught him, I'm not as sadistic as my husband., But he would never make it to trial.
