Armed mother saves 2 year-old from kidnapper

Yesterday morning a Fresno California woman came face-to-face with every mother’s worst nightmare. Just after 8:30 in the morning, a man wearing a ski-mask invaded her home while she and her child were inside. But the horror doesn’t end there. The man was there with a goal. He wanted her 2 year-old daughter.

This story is eerily similar to a 2003 kidnapping in San Jose California which I wrote about at the time. In both cases, the mothers fought fiercely but were ultimately beaten by the kidnapper. In both cases, the kidnapper grabbed the child despite the mother’s best efforts. But that is where the similarities end.

Loved the G.K. Chesterton quote, and this;

An armed and prepared parent can use the tools at their disposal to hold back the dark and keep the dragons in their place.

A big OORAH to the mom of this story, and may it encourage many more to be like her!!!
