A chilling story that could occur anywhere, in any country, and a sad reminder of how very low the lowest among us have become.
I'm posting this in the hope that it might encourage extra vigilance among moms and dads alike.

Kidnapping of children by strangers, even attempts, should carry the death penalty. It’s what my wife would give them if anyone ever tried to grab my kids.

I wonder if “deadly force” would be lawful in warding off a kidnapping attempt? Seems logical to me.

could happen anywhere, but if they tried it in a lot of states in the USA, the abductors would end up with various caliber holes in them...
in the UK, the mother that punched the abductor in the face could end up in PRISON.
To: Stoat
The ordeal finally ended when the woman ran off after the mother punched her in the face. Surprising that they haven't charged the mother with assault.

The other day I overheard some nasty mother comment to her friend that I was spoiling my baby (who is almost 16 months) for wearing her in a sling while we were out shopping.
1 - I’m definitely not spoiling her. She is beyond independent for her age. 2 - Even if I was, at least I know she is safe and close to my heart.

That might be too much even for them.

Surprising that they haven't charged the mother with assault. Not so surprising, as the "victim" would have to come forward....wouldn't she? And I don't think that is likely to happen.

“Nasty” is right. What is wrong with people?
You know your daughter is safe, and as you say close to your heart..........

What a pretty Thank You.
This is a story that could have turned very ugly, with a horribly different ending, I’m so happy it is what it is.

Pay no attention to idiots.
You should have seen the flak my wife and I got with our older girl when she was a toddler. She would dash off the second she got loose. The only way we could hang onto her was to attach a leash to a harness.
Really upset some people, who apparently wouldn’t have minded if she’d dashed into the parking lot and been run over.
After about a year the discipline finally got through and we could ditch the leash.

“I wonder if “deadly force” would be lawful in warding off a kidnapping attempt? Seems logical to me.”
My wife had the same question. I told her that under these circumstances, we’ll worry about that after the autopsy.
