Police Credit ‘Hero’ Bus Driver With Recovery Of 3-Year-Old Kidnapped Milpitas Boy; Suspect Arrested
A three-year-old boy kidnapped from a library in Milpitas Friday was located in Fremont, with the help of a bus driver who police are calling a hero.
The man found with him was arrested and it’s believed the boy was not harmed.
The Milpitas Police Department said the boy was at the library with his mother when he wandered off sometime after 10:30 a.m. Lt. Raj Maharaj said the mother only turned her back for a moment and the boy wandered off.
Witnesses said that the boy was seen being led away by a man in his 20s wearing a hoodie who appeared to be homeless. Other witnesses said the two got on a bus.
Police alerted the VTA and began a search – soon after, they received word from a bus driver who believed the suspect and the boy were on his bus headed to the Fremont BART station. Fremont Police officers were waiting when the bus arrived.
“And as the suspect, holding the child in his arms, walks off the bus the Fremont police takes the suspect into custody and recovers the child,” said Milpitas Police Chief Steve Pangelinan.
The suspect was identified as 23-year-old Alfonso David Edington of Pittsburg.
A police officer had to pry the boy away from Edington during a brief struggled with officers, according to Milpitas Police. The child was reunited with his parents at the Milpitas Police Department, police said.
“The bus driver is a hero. An absolute hero,” said Pangelinan. “And I credit the Valley Transit Authority for receiving information from us and quickly disseminating that to their drivers in the field.”
The parents are supposed to be ‘Christian’ for the kids to attend an RC school.
I know there is explosive growth of those who claim to be Christian in Africa, but is it truly ‘Christianity’? An old acquaintance who has done missionary work in Africa, made the comment once, that African Christian faith is a mile wide and an inch deep.
We know. We always know.
Thats the same way cats act.
For us, it started with Pierre Trudeau’s ‘B&B’. No, not ‘bed and breakfast’ but ‘bilingualism and biculturalism’. All of a sudden in the 1960s, every front line government position in Calgary, at the time a city of 250,000, with less than 1% French speaking, was required to be ‘bilingual’, speaking both French and English. As part of ‘B&B’, EVERY product label has to be in both French and English. Government jobs became ‘bilingual’, meaning that if you were English and fluently French, you MIGHT get a job if you voted for the right party, but if you were French, and could put more than two English words together, you were hired.
That led to a ‘multicultural Canada where straight, white, male, conservative Christians must go to the back of the line. Under Stephen Harper, things are on a more even keel, though fixing 35 years of Liberal sabotage is, of neccessity, a difficult, time consuming and slow process to correct.
