The father of a teenage girl who deputies say was kidnapped on Christmas Day found her using his phone’s parental controls, according to authorities in Texas.
A 15-year-old girl was reported kidnapped from the Houston suburb of Porter on Thursday after her parents said she took her dog out for a walk but did not return, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Authorities said the girl’s father tracked her phone using parental controls, which led him to a secluded, partially wooded area in Harris County, roughly two miles from Porter.
Her father located her and her dog inside a maroon-colored pickup truck with a partially nude 23-year-old man, the sheriff’s office said. The father helped his daughter escape from the truck and contacted law enforcement, the sheriff’s office added.
Authorities did not name the father or his teenage daughter.
The man, Giovanni Rosales Espinoza, was taken into custody without incident and charged with aggravated kidnapping and indecency with a child, the sheriff’s office said, alleging he threatened the girl with a knife and abducted her off the street. He remains in the Montgomery County Jail at this time with no bond, according to authorities.

Giovanni Rosales Espinoza. Sounds Amish.
...and his funeral is due Monday...
Wow, good work by the dad!
As a dad I would have responded with a 12ga.
This is why you open carry in TX. Don’t call the cops, shoot him and make justice real. Enough of the judicial system.
I’m surprised the kidnapper is so young; usually it’s some repulsive 50ish cretin. Oh, well, I guess everyone has to start somewhere. Disgusting.
Diversity is our strength.
Surely they can find a judge to get this guy out on no cash bail until the charges can be dropped because he didn't think he was doing anything wrong.
Wow, perfect location. Talk about a missed opportunity for the father......
What happened to fido?
Texas is not California. Or Maryland.
His remains are at the Montgomery county morgue.
There fixed it
I am surprised that the father did not shoot him. Now a Soros DA can drop charges and release him to refine his tradecraft.
Something fishy about this one. What kind of dog. Most kidnappers wouldn’t take the dog, and any respectfully sized dog would have made it unlikely the kidnapper would have chosen this victim. This sounds like an online hookup where walking the dog was the way to get out of the house and meet up.
yep. Makes no sense to kidnap the dog too.
