An 8-year-old girl called 911 from the backseat of her father's stolen car so authorities could rescue her and her little brother, according to a report by KFMB. The woman stole the car out of a parking lot while the kids were sitting in the backseat waiting for their father. The carjacker headed straight for the border but Homeland Security spotted the car at the last United States exit before she crossed into Mexico.

"Rodney Cole tells KNSD-TV that he left his children in the running car Monday afternoon so he could run into a store to buy his daughter some hair ties. A witness saw a woman jump into the car and drive off. The witness honked his horn to notify Cole, who ran after the car but lost it. Minutes later, his daughter Malayha called 911 from the back seat to say she and her 3-year-old brother had been kidnapped and she was seeing freeway signs that said Mexico. The car was stopped within the hour at the San Ysidro border checkpoint. The woman is in custody."

Just an illegal, stealing the cars that Americans won’t steal.

Never leave the car with keys in engine and children in car.
As Winston Churchill said;’ Nevah, Nevah, NEVAH!!”

“Never leave the car with keys in engine and children in car.”

I’d go further! Never leave your child or children in you car unattended unless one of them is a teenager.

[SmokingJoe]

Yup. Yet another “amigo” from Mexico, stealing the cars that Americans won’t steal.

And teach your kids personal defense tactics.

I wonder what would have happened to these kids, if the 8-year-old hadn’t had such brains and moxie.

[Mount Athos]

Seems like she wanted the kids, not just the car

[WayneS]

What a brave and smart kid. Her parents should be proud of her.

[Aliska]

Wow! Close call for those kids. The 8-year-old acted heroically and intelligently. Praise be to God!

[Peter Libra]

Never leave the car with keys in engine and children in car.

Ditto that.

Will people never learn? They must have heard a dozen horror stories about thieves and children in a vehicle. After all what effort does it take to slip the keys out of the ignition. Those kids might never have been seen again. Thank heavens for the bright little lady!

Cole can expect social service fascists on his backside for many years...That assumes that the SS even allows him to have the governments kids back into his care...

[moovova]

So now, the illegal woman will be returned to Mexico...in 20-25 years. Kidnapping, child endangerment, grand theft auto...

[LydiaLong]

Doing the kidnapping Americans won’t do.

[blueplum]

the hijacker thought she got a two-fer - a free car and two kids that could be sold and then used to cross back over the border as a ‘family’.

[BobL]

So THAT’S HOW IT ENDS. A bunch of thugs from Homeland Security prevent her from being exposed to the wonderfulness emanating from the Land of Dreamers.

SICKENING.

[Lurker]

Shoot her in the head. Leave her body to rot at the border.

I’m guessing that a lot of the time when cars are left running it’s because the owner is unsure if they’ll restart

[Tammy8]

Thugs from Homeland Security? What?

[Jane Long]

Amen.
