seeing as how, shes a young girl, of course she would’ve gone into the trust because she’s little, and she probably doesn’t know whats wrong, and whats right! i am thankful that the mom was there, so she can be the first one to report what happen, becase she was the witness!

Listen to me, this is crazy, you must understand that, coulda shoulda woulda will not do. Look at this history. More than 65 percent of the victims of non-family child abduction are girls (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)
In 46 percent of non-family abductions, the child was sexually assaulted. In 31 percent of the cases the child was physically assaulted. In 40 percent of the cases, the perpetrator used a weapon (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)
Of abducted children who are ultimately murdered, 74 percent are dead within three hours of the abduction (State of Washington’s Office of the Attorney General; National Center of Missing and Exploited Children)
Of non-family abductions, 32 percent take place on a street or in a car and 25 percent take place in a park or wooded area. The percentage of abducted children taken to another location totals 75 percent. These locations include: vehicle (45 percent), perpetrator’s home (28 percent), building (13 percent) (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)

Im beginning to think that the first responder of this article may have been one of the guys in the truck! Are you joking that they were trying to help? Ur right, they were trying to help themselves kidnap a child. Be real.

When it comes to a child being abducted, there are seldom second chances. Could it have been innocent? Sure. Chances are it wasn’t innocent or they wouldn’t have left so abruptly..Don’t be naive in thinking they were trying to do no harm, clearly they were up to no good.

to comments 1 and 3 - Are you two kidding me? Do you really believe that they were just nice guys?
Those guys were trying to kidnap her. He opened the door and asked her to “come here”. If you’re trying to get someone out of the street, you don’t need to open the door, but you DO if you’re trying to snatch someone. They took off when the mother yelled - if they were trying to help, they would have explained. They ran to try to keep her from being able to identify them.

And the article does not say the kid was in the street.

To all those who are convinced that these two adults were merely looking out for the child’s wellbeing & not trying to abduct her, please ask yourselves the following: If it were you in that truck, stopping to ensure the child’s safety would you instantly drive off when the mother made her presence known without stating your concern to her? Personally, I would never approach someone else’s child out of concern & then not explain that concern to the parent. Doing so would just foster fear in the neighborhood.

Thank god that the mother was there so that the kid did not get ran over by a car. I doubt the two adults were trying to kidnap the kid

It’s the bad ones you have to worry about. How freaking brazen. Thank the Gods that the mother was right there. It takes two seconds…and they’re GONE! And you hear about the police finding a body in a canal two days later.
