Thank you Jesus for the little lamb making it to safety. A family that can be Greatful for the life of their child.
General population PLEASE
I’m so glad that everywhere you go now there’s have a camera
He tried before and they sent her out alone again? Was it a trap?
What is Hunter Biden doing 🤔🤣
I’m going to find that guy and…
What a strong & brave girl to fend off that coward with a license plate number exposed!! God help her stabilize after that terror.
Did they get the guy?
Well the camera caught the plate!
Where did this hal
Thats a big 11 year old.Good for her. If I had a young child I would train and teach them how to use a small but surgically sharp blade from almost the moment they learned how to walk.
Hope they sort that bar steward out in jail….
Sick guy, get a life man… ,
THANK GOD SHE FOUGHT BACK HARD AND STRONG She deserves to go to DISNEY WORLD and gifts cards she is everyone HERO
Fake. Camera positioned a little too perfectly.
All I can say is we need “EYE for an Eye” laws in this country and crime will be suppressed instantly. Jail time nor psychiatry will rehabilitate that offender.
Trump supporter trying to pull a Matt Gaetz on an underaged girl.
I was fat at 11, i probably weighed 180lbs. I was too far to get kidnapped. Otherwise I might have been.
I hate predators. I promise and swear before God I will harm those that harm children at every opportunity.. So help me God..Amen
Terrifying! Imagine the trauma after this.
And to think, these pervs never get long jail sentences…
I hope that POS gets a HUGE cell mate !!
I’m glad they were able to catch him before he was able to consummate his lascivious intentions. They need not try him. The only just punishment would be to remove the feet that led him there, the hands that wielded the knife, and the organs with which he intended to violate her. That would make a statement.
Get her in the ring w Jake Paul‼️
But nah out of all seriousness glad she was able to get that weirdo away 🙏
Wtf
First of f all, what kind of city or town is this? Where cars drive by from all directions and there no traffic signs or paved roads? Second of all why is she in a small patch of grass in the middle of those dirt roads? I mean this whole thing is odd! It’s like she’s on this patch of grass, doing what? Cars driving by , and this wild guy running towards her is like a crazy zombie! WTF?
Sick man, looks like a busy road he wanted to do I broad day light…Lock him up…
What did I just see
She didn’t fight him off he just gave up and the dude they arrested doesn’t even look like the dude in the video. The arrested guy is way too fat compared to this guy in the video.
Thats democracy.
I’m 12 and I cant even fight LOL
This is disturbing…but little kids should not be playing so close to the roadside edge…
He wanted to take her to Biden
People are asking why she was alone. She might have literally be on her own lawn playing and that used to be normal especially for an 11 year old.
It sucks that over time it’s now being seen as inherently dangerous to allow your adolescent child play outside we sound ridiculous. I guess we can encourage children to play in groups to allow a bit of strength in numbers and to deter these monsters. A buddy system.
License plate? Is he in jail?
Amazing!! What a brave an fast reaction this little girl had. Praise her for being fearless at the moment. 🙌🏻💕
SMH
Huh what just happened.
Demons in skin suits on the lose.
Why 39 people give this video thumbs down?
Way to go for this young girl! You fight. You scream. You kick. This kidnapper tried to do this before. He needs to be locked up for decades.
I hope that he is caught, before he can try again to complete his crime.
Don’t let your children wait alone at the bus stop. The fact that there are pedophiles getting arrested every day is proof that there are way more not getting caught, and thats enough for me to watch my children every moment I can
What tf is wrong with some dudes these days??
If you like crime keep voting for demonrats
She just fell!!!
Who is taping this ? someone must be watching. Self defense should be taught in all schools
Life without parole seems fitting.
I have a 12 year old little girl. And watching this my heart almost leaped out my chest!!
Politicians spend $Trillions on things that have absolutely no practical value.
They can’t even provide basic minimal safety.
This is the type of people the defund the police crowd support
Get him off the streets now
Our politicians are giving $Billions to foreigners, $Billions to have 200,000 American soldiers in foreign countries, $Billions to Federal employees to “study” black holes, “explore” Venus, and play with toy cars on Mars, $Trillions for things that have absolutely no practical value!!
Whoever down vote on this video is a piece of 💩
Man.. any friends or relatives of that man do the right thing we can’t have this….that kid was luck but the next kid won’t be
Wish I lived in the house with the camera I woulda ran as fast as I could
So far 39 DID NOT LIKE THIS VIDEO!! Those are sick perverts!!
I remember a few scary events from childhood, but I didn’t realize the severity until about ten years later. A stranger in an olive green vehicle once asked me how to find “the cemetery,” and another with a middle-eastern accent asked where to find “the girls… the girls…” who perform sexual acts. Don’t ever offer to help those people, and run for crowded areas or secured facilities if they follow you!
That seems like something Florida Man would do.
STOP LEAVING YO KIDS AT A BUS STOP. PERIOD. IT WILL NEVER BE SAFE.THAT BUS STOP IS NOT EVEN SAFE THAT’S TO CLOSE TO THE PASSING CARS.BLESSINGS THAT THE GIRL KNEW TO RUN.
Sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah
GOD gave that girl Wisdom to run away from him bad people is out there .
Thank you Jesus!!
That is frightening! I’m so glad she was able to get away! I was almost kidnapped twice when I was 5 & 6. It’s still something that bothers me to this day.
That’s so terrifying 😱 I’m a single mother of 3 and when my youngest daughter was 10, I didn’t have a vehicle then so I had to take the bus to a doctor’s appointment and it was a little far. I was on my way to the appointment when my daughter called me to tell me that a man with a soldier hat stopped while she was walking towards school, which was only a block away from where we used to live, and asked her if she wanted to make $10 and told him no and ran to school which was a very short distance to where the man stopped her. When she called me I was terrified and desperate to make sure she was fine. I called the school twice and they left me hanging so I called the police and they went to check on her. Thank God she was ok, and I had just gotten both of my daughters a phone, I don’t know what I would have done if something had happened to her 😭😭. I called my other daughter and her school to alert them. After school I went to pick them up. Now they are in their late teens but I still take them to school myself. I also have them on a tracking app to make sure where they are and that they are ok. You can’t trust anyone!
Good Girl.
That poor child.
I know exactly where that is !! I’d think it fairly safe, an eye opener. No big city for hours./ miles. Sick.
She was making blue slime but she was aware of her surroundings, looking up at the passing cars. She right away noticed the white SUV. Reports said she had seen it before and had reported it to her parents and school principal. She recognized it and was ready to fight back. Good thing he’s behind bars now.
Surveillance video definitely got his license number. FBI or CSI or Forensics will enhance it.
They caught him!
Don’t put that guy in protective custody once he’s arrested.
First of all the area looks so isolated, secondly, the girl told her parents of
this creep, follow her to the stop each morning, and arm yourself , creeps like
these must be rid of, thank od she knew how to resists
This happened in Florida? No way!
Omg. This is horrifying… Where did this happen?
The little girl was playing with blue slime, she smeared it on the guy and the police were able to identify him based off of it. In an interview she said she got the idea to smear the slime on him from watching svu with her mom. A truly truly brave and smart little girl.
WE ASK GOVERMENT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN,SEXUAL PREDATORS SHOULD BE LOCKED FOR A LIFE..CHANGE LAWS..people protesting all sort of injustice but no one is thinking about kids..
But whats being done to find this person. He probably does thus for a living.
The front of the car didn’t have no plate on it. But back look like it might have one on it .
Praise The LORD!!! And thank God you have people like me praying to have things like this stopped. And especially that you have angels that God gave you.
Praise the LORD!!! Thank God He stopped this!!! Thank God that people like me pray for this kind of thing to be stopped and that you have angels that God gave you.
She is so lucky wow
Sounds like the Fallen Angels
My mother took us to the park when I was little. There was a guy that was friendly with us. He followed us home and told me to come back outside and not to tell my mother. I never went back outside that day.
Definitely a dodge journey
We were NEVER allowed to walk to or from school alone..ALWAYS at least 3 of us. We were taught we stick together…never start but ALWAYS finish. If one person kid or adult tries it, JUMP THEM! Thank God we never had to.
