Mom Clings to Car as Thief Takes Off With Baby Inside

KSHB-TV:

“I close my eyes and I see him backing up and not knowing what to do. My body took control but my brain didn’t. It sometimes feels like it didn’t happen except for how I feel physically and emotionally.”

    The video indicates that the car was running and the headlights were on. Evidently, both parents are eat up with the disease, ‘dumb-ass’. They can’t be trusted with a baby. The baby should be taken from them and entrusted to someone with more than just a small portion of a brain. Anyone who would leave a baby in a car and walk off leaving the keys in the car, the car’s engine running, and the headlights on is much too stupid to be trusted with the care of a child.

      They made a stupid mistake. But from what I saw, both parents would (& almost did) die for their child. Enough said.

      Situtational awareness is what the parents were missing. There is nothing wrong with puting your child in a carseat and start the car to warm it up while your talking to your spouse just 50 feet away…………………provided you have situational awareness to potential problems like this THUG. This event does not make them bad parents. Bad things happen to good people no matter what you do. Its easy to Monday night quarterback but please stop criminalizing the victems.

      You Go Girl. My wife and I moved from the SF bay area to the back woods of Arkansas. She had never fired a gun. I taught her to shoot and not to be afraid to pull the trigger is a person breaks into our house. She is a pretty good shot. Kills snakes at 20-30 feet with a pistol.

    You know that the liberals and the crooks have a lot in common. They both believe that everyone else should re-distribute their wealth, not their own. They both want to take things that don’t belong to them personally. They both don‘t care if it hurts someone else as long as it doesn’t affect them. Need I go on?

    I really wish people wouldn’t steal. If the guy needed a ride somewhere, the lady would have probably given it if he had asked, I would have. If he was down on his luck and needed a few bucks, just ask, I’ve given complete strangers dough before. If they are scamming, it’ll catch up with them in the end. I always feel like when I go before God, he will say, “why did you not help this person I sent to you that was in trouble? You didn’t show charity.” In my area, we usually don’t lock the car unless going to the city. I never lock it in the driveway. Kind of strange that if you look at an election map, you’ll find people going to the blue areas taking all kinds of precautions against crime, but in predominantly red areas, you don’t worry so much about being accosted and having things stolen from you.

    I know people like the thief that took this car. They don’t care about anyone but themselves. I bet he thought he was being nice by returning the car with the baby inside. Probably thinks he should be praised for it.

    They are among us. Callus, selfish, immoral people that have no respect for themselves or anyone else. If they destroy lives in order to live, they don’t care.

    If that had happened to me, he would have been turned to swiss cheese as soon as the baby was out of the line of fire. What a complete waste of human life that scum is! Only God knows what he would have done with the child if he had gotten away but it wouldn‘t have ended on a positive that’s for sure.

      Once a long times ago, you might of been able to leave keys in the ignition , but as a sign of the dangerous perps out there, a few seconds may lead to a horrible tragedy. Angels were surrounding that precious child of God. This was a means for me to show gratitude on this day of thanks. Truly divine providence..Happy Thanksgiving to all.. Remember to separate the two .
      I am recovering from a candle making accident ,some pretty nasty burns on my left side, while in the burn unit ,God allowed me to witness so many others with far bigger challenges ahead of them,so that I could thank Him for avoiding the loss of my left eye(thank God I was wearing glasses,as opposed to contacts). While still hospitalized learning how to dress the burns(scream into a washcloth while debriding) & perfect timing of some major painkiller..I called my home to check msgs.My mammogram showed something abnl. I had to delay US til burns healed. My test can’t be done until Dec.8th. I humbly ask for prayers my fellow Blazers. I have started the 40 day challenge, I know my creator hears me ,just by the fact that he has lifted the fear and I was able to thank Him for this ,hopefully early warning. I also was humbled enough to ask my sister to go with me for support. We had been estranged for sometime ,after loosing another sister to cancer,after a hard fought 2yr battle.Sorry for the whine ,wish I had cheese to serveLOL. But I know the power of prayer warriors.God Bless all Americans in these trying times and may we continue to save our blessed Republic. Like Glenn said, “We ‘ve already won”.This time is for Gratitude.

      I honestly believe the thief had no idea there was a baby in the car. There is no way he wouldn’t have gotten away with that baby if it were his intentions to take him. They got this baby back because he freaked out when he realized a baby was in the car. Some people are just theives, but only animals can steal a baby.

      I’m not defending the guy, but I just saw a guy that heard, “My baby,!” looked in the backseat and hit a pole. Could have backed up plowing everyone over and sped off.

      There you go Robert, denying this dirt bag his right to plunder and steal. Now that Nobama is POTUS, every person America has the right to violate the other persons rights. When they catch him, if they even try to catch him, he will probaly be on probation from a recent carjacking and/or armed robbery.
      We must find the kindness and forgiveness in our hearts to allow the police to “blow them away”, as soon as they are arrested, or this will continue to be a situation that is out of control.
      Just like cockroaches, even as you waste the ones you see, another one appears the next day.
