Child Abduction Digest 8-31-12

Portland, OR
An alert mother said she used a 2x4 to wallop a 17-year-old boy who was trying to abduct her young daughter as the girl played outside a home.

Police credited quick action by Antoinette Robinson and neighbors with helping them capture the suspect. He was being held down by neighbors when officers arrived.

Lt. Robert King with the Portland Police Bureau said the attempted abduction happened on Sunday evening around 6:30 near 169th Avenue and Lafayette Street in Southeast Portland.


Paxton, IL
Police are investigating the second report of an attempted child abduction in Paxton within a one-week span.

The incident occurred at 8:05 a.m. Sunday in front of the Full Gospel Christian Fellowship, 619 S. Railroad Ave., according to Paxton Police Chief Bob Bane.

Two young girls walking by the church were approached by a vehicle, described as a black van or sport utility vehicle, that was being driven by a “white older female,” possibly in her late 50s, Bane said. Also in the vehicle was a child, 8-9 years old.

Bane said the vehicle first drove by the girls going south on Railroad Avenue (U.S. 45) and then turned around. The vehicle then came back north toward the girls, and its driver then asked them if they wanted a ride.

Hocking County, OH
A 16-year-old girl living in Hocking County was almost abducted this morning at around 6:20 while waiting for her bus at Laurel Run Road.

Sheriff Lanny North says the attempted abductor was an older man with white hair and a white beard who was driving a red Geo Metro.

The man insisted that the girl had missed her bus and said that he would drive her to school.

The girl responded that she had not missed her bus and that she was going back into her house to call the police.

Assistant Principal Josh Straus of Logan High School posted this morning on the district's website the description of the suspect along with some stranger-danger tips.

Hocking County, OH
Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North stated that the 16-year-old Logan High School student lied about the Monday morning attempted abduction to seek more attention from her parents.

The student told investigators she was almost abducted while waiting for her school bus on August 27.

Detectives met the student at her residence to conduct a follow-up interview on August 29.

They had become suspicious when reviewing her statement based on the amount of detailed information she had provided, yet claimed the encounter lasted less than 30 seconds.

During the interview, the youth recanted her story and admitted that she had been afraid to wait for the school bus alone and wanted attention from her parents.

Northfield, IL
The Northfield Police Department is investigating a possible attempted child abduction that took place last week.

According to a department release, a 13-year-old girl was walking home at 12:50 p.m. Aug. 24 when the incident took place on southbound Riverside Drive near Stockton Drive.

The offender, believed to be a white male over the age of 45, was sitting in the passenger seat of a silver, four-door, mid-size vehicle and yelled, “Come, come here ... come!” while gesturing toward the vehicle with his hand.

The girl refused and fled the area. The vehicle then left the scene, making a U-turn before driving off on westbound Winnetka Road.

Kelly Davis wonders what would have happened had he been looking the other way for just a few moments.

He was standing in Daley Plaza watching his two young daughters slide down the Picasso sculpture Saturday night when he saw a man rushing toward daughter Myla, 2.

The man grabbed the girl's arm, muttering, "This is my daughter, Goldilocks." But Davis said he was able to fight him off and then chased him through alleys and building lobbies before finally flagging down police.

Fostoria, OH
What may have been an attempted child abduction has residents of a Fostoria neighborhood on edge. The Review-Times reports the incident happened at a school bus stop Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of South Poplar Street and Hissong Avenue just after 2:30 p.m. The man apparently tried to lure the child away from the mother. People who live in the area told police they saw a man matching the description on Poplar Street 10 minutes before police arrived.

Shelbyville Police are looking for a man suspected of an attempted child-snatching.

Lt. Mike Turner says a nine-year-old girl was waiting for a school bus this morning, when she was approached by the man described as "older or possibly elderly."

The girl tells police the man grabbed her, she got away from him and he ran from the scene--a school bus stop near Sunset and Miller. It was apparently an isolated incident but Lt. Turner urges parents to be vigilant.

"Maybe instead of sending your kids outside and you stay inside, maybe come out to the bus stop with the kids," he said.  "We've obviously increased our patrols at the bus stops."
