Why would he even have a bailbond
He's jailbait
a reminder to run and scream?????????? how about an 11 year old not walking to school alone or
He should have been deported years ago.
🤨
What is he doing free after attempted murders and other previous charges?! 🤬…why arrest him now if all your going to do is release him again! Horrible justice system!!
Solitary confinement and throw away the key.
Evil lives in the hearts of men! Jesus came to give us new hearts, but sadly most of us don't care or listen to his gospel message! The more a society takes God out of the public life….. the more you have crazy's like this roaming the streets!!!
Good for that girl,its sad that our kids have THIS ISH as a part of their childhood!! U have to watch ur surroundings and especially if someone jumps out at u,run,dont look bk,go,scream ,get away,and let them know,adults arent immediately parent type and be submissive,act a fool and run,scream,draw alot of attention,dont stop to answer questions from someone with the window down,i took mone to the bus and picked her up,she's smaller but still,make u never want to let them out your sight
Why isn’t he in prison?
If he was in prison where he should be this wouldn’t happen!!!
Smart baby
Why is a creep like this even out of prison!!!!!
a warning to parents humm seems to me it should be a warning to the cops , try going after the bad guys instead of innocent good people ,,, and quit worrying about the cameras so much
It helped that the kidnapper’s sweatpants were trying to fall down.
Teach your children self-defense.
Scary. 😢
BUT, will he be convicted or released?
Maybe he just wanted to give her a ride to school?🤔
Don't let your children walk to school alone. Get them a ride if you can't give them one. Or if they can't find a ride have a neighbor, friend, relative walk with them. Never would I let my child walk to school alone.
If you as a parent is unable to take your child to school or walk with them tell them to always walk in groups
Ruiz is a good old Anglo-Saxon surname.
Why on earth would anyone want to kidnap a child, they are expensive… Do not understand America’s obsession with child kidnap…
$250,000 bond! He should have NO BOND! he tried to abduct a child! He shouldn't have been free in the first place! This country has the most ridiculous legal system! Smdh.😢😢
Attempted FIRST DEGREE MURDER!? Stabbed his own mother?
WHY is he FREE?
Are they going to let him out after this too?!
Glad they caught him and she is safe
And let me guess he will be back on the streets tomorrow? Yeah…thought so. 🤷♂️
Niw Biden had allowed all those migrants in who are already committing crimes. That's why this Black man will be voting for Trump in 2024. We need to round them up and get them out of here.
Not all men, but they commit 98% of violent crimes, and 95 % are male
Learn, Teach, Share THE INTERNATIONAL HANDSIGNAL FOR HELP ME.
Have Your Children practice Yelling HELP! NO! FIRE! HELP DADDY! As Loud as They can! We used to practice in the Car with our Windows rolled up on the FREEWAY regularly.😮❤
Why does he have a bond 😡
Fantastic awareness by the young girl. The best way to NOT become a victim is to be hyper-aware of your surroundings at all times. Predators only need a few seconds to act. It's important not to give them that window of opportunity.
Why does he get bond at all for that charge
Only the Government and the Catholic church are allowed to kidnap kids.
Also warn your kids to beware of people they know. It's not always strangers who assault kids.
Should have been No bond!Our Court system & laws do not protect us.
And some people wonder why vigilantism is becoming more and more desirable.
HAYYY QUE. DARLE PLOMOO A ESTOS SUJETOSSSSS..PORQUE LAS LEYES NO SON BUENASS….
Kidnapping someone from your own building is extremely stupid.
When he gets out he needs to work on his speed a little bit..
That dirt ball I'm going to do well in prison….
The judge will go hard on him, he will get at least three years.
how is he just out hanging around after stabbing his own mom….
The cops then took the man on a long car ride into the woods to meet the girl's father and he was never heard from again.
