A Florida man is under arrest in the Panhandle charged with attempting to kidnap an 11-year-old girl and the entire incident was caught on video.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, 30-year-old Jared Stanga is accused of snatching the girl Tuesday, while she was waiting alone at her school bus stop.

“It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what his intentions were, but they were not good, so a life was saved,” said Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons.
When officials found Stanga about eight hours later, he had the same blue slime on his arm and clothes that the girl was playing with while she was at the bus stop.
“You saw the blue goo the slime that’s on the suspect that the victim had. You’re not kidding anyone, and we know you’re an animal, and we also know you’re under arrest,” said Sheriff Simmons.
She told authorities he had also approached her weeks ago at the same location and made her feel uncomfortable. She reported the incident to her school. The superintendent of the school district said the girl reported the first situation to a teacher. The principal alerted the child’s parents and her mother walked her to the bus every day after that.
Tuesday was the first day the girl went by herself.

>>>My question is why was someone videoing the girl in the first place<<<
Looks like a Security Camera Video, not someone with an iPhone.
Sounds like past time for the young woman to get *real* martial arts and gun training. Oddly enough, training of that sort changes your “aura” (as good a term as any in this case), so that low lifes, thugs, bullies and serious attacker take just one glance and say to themselves, “No, not that one”, even if they don’t know why.
Highly recommended.
Am I the only one with any creativity for long term deterrence? We should put him in a studding stable in a compromising position, inject the horses with via*ra, and livestream it with a caption saying this is what happens to those who molest kids.
I agree.
Naw, that’s wasting a good broom pusher. Do a needle with adrenalin, a bit of alcohol and sterile water, up through the sinus into the brain. He will still be trainable but not much else. 6 CC’s should do it.
“Perhaps the cameraman was unarmed and scared. Normal reaction.We can’t expect everyone to be heroic”
I understand your comment. Just me, though. I would instinctively have run to the girl’s side. Even at my 5’, 110 lb stature, I wouldn’t be able to film such.
Well golly gee, why’d I not think of that.
She didn’t exactly fight him off. She ran 3 steps, he caught her, he fell carrying her and ran off himself.
But Thank the Lord she if safe.
Bravo! When it comes to creative solutions, you win. I like the way you think!
Slime has been a fairly popular children ‘toy’ for as long as I’ve been alive.

That would be three sentences, one unrelated to the article.

It was a surveillance camera.
As I was informed.
Unfortunately, that wouldn’t “deter” some folks.
proofreading is a good thing

See what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.

Use piranhas.
Good point. Hadn’t thought of that.
