He quit his job and began stalking her ever since she told him no. He tried abducting her 3 TIMES. The justice system needs to be stricter for repeated offenders like this. What if he succeeded in taking her?

Stalking needs to be taken more seriously

"It's my baby. You can't take her." That's all you need to know in one statement.

IT WAS HER FORMER CO-WORKER OMFG. that’s 10 times more terrifying. I’m so glad she’s okay.

It's 2024. Stalking needs to be taken seriously. Why tf does someone have to die before the predator is punished for their creepy behavior? Thank God momma was there to help ❤

He's been stalking her, if I remember correctly she has a restraining order against him, and he's tried to abduct her THREE TIMES now... I don't understand why he's given bail and hasn't received any type of jail time

Thanks to the neighbors who got involved.

[TurtleCmic]

He had the audacity to plead not guilty? Unbelievable lock him up for life.

When will old men understand teenagers don’t want you.

She never would have seen her daughter again if she hadn't stepped in on time. Thank God she saved her daughter.

A mother protecting her child, and men stepping up to defend their community. Great job everyone.

[sakurafalls]

Bro actually thought he could kidnap a screaming teenager in an apartment building full of people 💀

[Colby]

She saved her daughters life. People who are abducted are usually killed shortly after the abduction. What a phenomenal mother

[gicjfsk]

As a single mom, I can appreciate the good neighbors stepping up as well. Thank god this one turned out well.

Example of why neighbours (sometimes) should NOT mind their own business. Great job!

[everythingandmo]

“She’s my baby, no, you can’t take her”… Thank God mama is so fit! Jumped straight into warrior mode, like a boss.

[AllyCakes]

Takes a village to raise a child... Also takes a village to save a child. So thankful everyone was there to help.

[Lennybird]

So proud of the neighbors helping. Good job, New York.

[willspann]

I wonder how his lawyer plans to defend him....considering he's on video assaulting the daughter?

Her COWORKER who knew her routine, please be safe out here y’all … Nothing like a Momma’s strength! And shoutout to the neighbors who didn’t let him get away
