14-Year-Old Girl Manages to Escape Kidnapper

2008_12_kind.jpgThe police released a video of a man who kidnapped a girl from her Washington Heights apartment building and took her to a motel in the Bronx. The Daily News reports that, fortunately, the "quick-thinking 14-year-old girl escaped the clutches of a pervert after he left her alone in the parking lot of a Bronx motel while he went inside to book a room." Cops say she was dragged from the lobby of her apartment (the girls adds that she tried to "catch people's eyes, but every person I walked by was listening to music") into a livery cab and taken to the River Road Motor Inn in Woodlawn. When in the parking lot, the girl had called to the cab driver for help (he did call 911) and ran into a room being cleaned by maids, who then "closed the door and called 911." More details about the suspect here.

Are we, like, mass-producing animals these days? Imagine the thoughts in this bastard's head: "This is cool, I've got this girl, she's like a girlfriend sort of, no, this is acceptable behavior, no, this doesn't make me equal to a dog or a rodent, it's all good." Hunt him down and lock him away. Forever. Please.

don't lock him up, it's not worth the money. find him, cut off his head.

A creep like this will never be rehabilitated or a productive member of society. He's just a dirtbag through and through.

Physical castration would be a good option here...

She ran away when he left her alone in the parking lot while he went inside to get a room? Uh, yeah, I guess that was kind of maybe sort of quick thinking on her park, like kind of perhaps. Good thing she didn't stand there and wait for him to come back.

Not having got what he wanted from this one, there's a good chance that this pervert is already on the prowl for his next young victim.
