Family kidnaps 6-year-old boy, keeps him for hours to teach a lesson about stranger danger: cops
Three family members and a family friend in Troy, Mo., allegedly planned the kidnapping of a 6-year-old boy who was 'too nice' and needed to learn about stranger danger. The adults lured him into a truck, threatened him with a gun, kept him captive in a basement and told him he'd get sold into sex slavery before finally revealing the stunt and then lecturing him.

Firoved, 23, waited for the boy to get off his school bus in Troy, then lured him into a pickup truck and told him hed never see his mommy again and was going to get nailed to the wall of a shed, KSDK reported.
Firoved brandished a handgun when the boy started crying and said hed get hurt if he didnt stop, police said. When the boy kept crying, Firoved allegedly bound his hands and feet and put a jacket over his head to blindfold him.
He led the blindfolded boy into his own basement, and then the boys 38-year-old aunt, Denise Kroutil, took off his pants, told him he was going to be sold into sex slavery and yelled at him for not resisting her.

(11,238 posts)The fact that he told school officials what happened gives me hope for him. That was brave and smart.

I have a four year old. We just found out that there is a sexual offender who lives in the building next to ours in Brooklyn. This wouldn't necessarily be a problem, but he was arrested for being in possession of and promoting child porn. And we all know that child molesters are never reformed.
So I am starting to discuss "stranger danger" with my four year old. I'm worried about telling her too much and scaring her, though I also want her to know that she should never go off alone with any adult (even ones she knows) without approval from mommy. I've approached this by telling her no big person will ask her to help them ("Find a lost pet or lost child" or offer her something in a home or away from mommy and daddy ("candy" "play with a pet" etc.). But she's four and what does she understand. I've also told her to scream LOUDLY "NOOOOOO" if anyone tries to take ask her anything. Don't worry about being rude. And finally, I've told her to look for mommies with children to help her if she ever gets lost. Don't go up to an adult who is alone. Find a mommy with children and ask for help.
But even this talk frightens her.
Can you imagine what that poor six year old child went through??????

A 30-year-old man was arrested after hitting his 9-year-old niece, who was found in a dumpster in Miami Beach, police said.
The girl was found Wednesday afternoon at 645 82nd St. in Miami Beach.
Police said Jesus Crys is the girl's uncle, but she refers to him as her father and has full custody.
Crys was inside of an apartment with the girl when an argument occurred. Police said he then took her outside, where he struck her several times in the head and asked her to get in the dumpster.
The girl was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center for medical treatment with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Jebus Crys is right!
