I searched the word kidnap and the name of the assailant.
quote:

CONEY ISLAND, Brooklyn -- A man is in custody after he snatched a 6-year-old child off the street in New York City's Coney Island and threw the boy at his parents when they chased after him, police said. On Sunday night, the streets were filled with people enjoying the final hours of a holiday weekend. Roy Gantt, Sharon Robinson, and their son Rah'Shem Gantt were looking to buy popcorn when a stranger -- dressed head-to-toe in black and wearing a tall hat -- suddenly grabbed Rah'Shem. He took a few steps with the boy in his arms, but threw him to the ground after his parents noticed what was happening and chased after him.

"I had my foot on his chest to hold him down. I didn't have the heart to stomp him," Robinson said. "Violence is not my way."

I saw a more extended interview of the kid. He appears to be on the spectrum. I wonder if the guy targeted him because of his delays.

Parents weren’t even in the video shot when the kid was snatched up….

Probably not paying attention to the kid whatsoever….

I wouldn’t have been able to stop stomping him if this was my child.

Man I doubt it. That seems like a stretch.


The parents got caught up in the moment chasing the dude and left the kid again right away.

That's a shame. He would have made the world a better place.

I would have had him bite the curb until I figured it out.

My way, as Good Ol’ J.R. says, would have been stomping a mud hole in him and walking it dry if it was my kid.

Everyone within a one block radius should have stomped and beat that loser.

Progressive judge will order the kid be returned to the kidnapping groomer today. Every wrong will be righted. Everyone can relax now.

Democrats up in New York open their arms to all homeless people as a sanctuary city, when you have a bunch of crazy Looney Tunes walking around This is the type of shite that happens.

I’m sure the part the parents will be charged with assault

You searched for the name of the assailant but you didn't put the name of the assailant in your post. Perhaps putting the name in there would make it easier for the next person to find it.

He was mercifully taking her to get her name changed. The collective IQ of all for involved was maybe 75.
