    He quit his job and began stalking her ever since she told him no. He tried abducting her 3 TIMES. The justice system needs to be stricter for repeated offenders like this. What if he succeeded in taking her?
  • @sakurafalls2468
    Bro actually thought he could kidnap a screaming teenager in an apartment building full of people 💀
  • @TurtleC0mic
    He had the audacity to plead not guilty? Unbelievable lock him up for life.
  • @mikeef747
    The way she was cautious until she turned the corner and saw her daughter be dragged, then sprinted without hesitation or fear for herself was heroic & inspiring. If we had more parents like her, society would be a better place!

    It's 2024. Stalking needs to be taken seriously. Why tf does someone have to die before the predator is punished for their creepy behavior? Thank God momma was there to help ❤
  • @willspann9894
    I wonder how his lawyer plans to defend him....considering he's on video assaulting the daughter?
  • @GunAinmNoAodann
    "It's my baby. You can't take her." That's all you need to know in one statement.
  • @maribelru2011
    When will old men understand teenagers don’t want you.
  • Example of why neighbours (sometimes) should NOT mind their own business. Great job!
  • @josephlink4173
    A mother protecting her child, and men stepping up to defend their community. Great job everyone.
  • She had every right to save her daughter from the dangers of kidnapping. Kudos to the most bravest mom I’ve ever seen. An absolute hero.
  • @MakaykayLAMB
    IT WAS HER FORMER CO-WORKER OMFG. that’s 10 times more terrifying. I’m so glad she’s okay.
  • @AA-qt1hi
    So basically he's been stalking her. How horrifying! Thankfully mom and daughter are recovering and together. Also thanks to the neighbors!
  • “She’s my baby, no, you can’t take her”… Thank God mama is so fit! Jumped straight into warrior mode, like a boss.
  • I cried immediately after she said "that's my baby" . I don't even have children but my heart is heavy!! Thank you God for saving that young woman 😭💕🙌🏾

    So proud of the neighbors helping. Good job, New York.
