You'd think there's enough things to do in Las Vegas to occupy one's
time, but, apparently, two female residents of "Sin City" thought otherwise. Perhaps that's why they decided that it was a good day to....kidnap a first grader.
According to cops, a woman spotted the wee lad walking from the school, picked him up, took him to Wal-Mart and then to a pal's home, where the two of them called the media to set up a conference at a public place, where their plan was to turn over the kid.
The dippy duo couldn't seem to fathom why folks were peeved or why they were arrested. According to these two ladies, their actions were well-intentioned. Their aim, supposedly, was to prove that the security at the elementary school where the boy was picked up was lax, since he was allowed to leave the school, unsupervised.
Picking up this child was a bone-headed way to get the point across. Why didn't the woman take his hand and walk him BACK into the school building and describe how she saw him walking home alone?
Justifiably, both butt-headed women were charged with first degree kidnapping and their victim returned to his worried family.
