Video: Attempted Kidnapping of 7-Year-Old Jewish Girl

Last night, a 7-year-old Jewish girl playing outside in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Kensington was confronted by a middle aged man, who grabbed her by the hand and asked her to get into a double parked car, according to a few witnesses.

Boro Park Shomrim recieved a frantic call from neighbors of what they claimed to be an attempted kidnapping.

911 was called, and it took the NYPD more than 1 hour and 10 minutes to arrive, according to neighbors on the block.

At this time, the police have no leads.

    “We didn’t call police right away.”
    “20 minutes”
    “30 minutes”
    “longer”

    The police aren’t mind readers. They can’t show up if you don’t call them. Is this over an hour after the incident or from the time of call? The article says an hour and 10 minutes yet this girl and her friend are direct witnesses, on video, noting the time which is significantly less than what you posted and then it just becomes vague. “Whatever” is not precise.

    There is also no time confirmation – did they look at a watch, a cell phone? If you’re going to point fingers at police, at least come up with some solid testimony.

    I dread to think what could have happened c”v, had those 2 girls not been there at the time he attempted to take her into the his car;
    Awful memories come to mind . . . Im sure we all think of the same story . . .
    Parents WATCH your kids, dont let them be on the sidewalks alone, NO MATTER what time of day it is . . . it only takes 2 minutes for anything to happen r”l

  • frustrated with nyc 911

    I called 911 this morning for a *SUSPICOUS* pickup truck with no front or rear lic. Plate. A black dispatcher said b\c vehicle is unoccupied = “no emergency” and *hung up*.
