Attempted Child Kidnapping In Brooklyn

A 7 year old Jewish girl playing outside in Kensington, Brooklyn was confronted by a middle aged man who grabbed her by the hand and asked her to get into a double parked car, the father of the girl confirmed. Borough Park Shomrim received a frantic call from neighbors. 911 was then called but it took the NYPD more than 1 hr and 10 minutes to arrive according to neighbors on the block. "At this time the police reportedly have no leads and everyone is keeping quiet about the story. The million dollar question is WHY? Doesn't the community deserve to know whats going on so parents can protect their children from predators?" The attempted child abduction took place in the same Brooklyn neighborhood where 8-year-old hasidic boy Leiby Kletzky was murdered and dismembered last year.

NOTE:

The entire commentary from Shmarya is plagiarized from Mr. Gifter, the haredi journalist who posted this YouTube video. It is the haredim like Mr. Gifter who are questioning why there are no leads, not Shmarya. Shmarya is just repeating it.

The question should be: Why is Yeshiva World not reporting this? Mr. Gifter is a frequent contributor to Yeshiva World News, so Mr. XXXstein cannot claim that he doesn not know about this video.

[WoolSilkCotton]

But this was not in the news? Maybe the whole thing is hysterical frumma bullshit.

And what does it matter that the headline has to specify "Jewish" child? Oh yeah, the Jewish children are important, the goyishe children aren't.

[Deremes]

Here there is a good example why we call Shomrim before 911.

[John Nagle, Silicon Valley, CA]

Why isn't this in any of the New York papers? None of the tabloids have it.

If the incident was over by the time someone called 911, and was reported as something that was over, that would explain the moderately slow response.

For the same reason that Shmarya specifies "haredi man indicted". Why couldn't he just write "man indicted". Oh yeah, we only blame collective haredim for their criminals, but we would never think of blaming collective goyim for their criminals. Oh yeah.

[Steven W]

The written version does not jibe with the video. We need a lot more facts before drawing conclusions.

[Lubavitchers are Christians]

Shomrim was there immediately, but the NYPD took an hour and ten minutes. Hmmmm.....Why would the haredim call shomrim before NYPD. I'm still scratching my head.

[BP MOM]

Would love to see what the shomrim bashers have to say now.....

Idiot.

1. To be plagiarized, it has to be the same words, and these are not the same words.

2. I can't post Gifter's first person account as a subhead because it sounds like *I* am reporting that information first hand, which I'm not.

3. The video is liked to his commentary.

Process that.

Please.

Try to process.

The child was apparently playing outside near or immediately after sunset without adult supervision.

You may recall that type of reckless parenting was the subject of some attention after the Kletzky murder last year – which took place not that far away from this attempted child abduction.

No.

An attempted child abduction is a top level call even if the attempted abduction is "over."

You could try asking any cop in Brooklyn or NYC or LA or any other major city (and most smaller ones, as well).

[Shmarya]

As for NYPD's response time, I think a close reading of the text shows that SHOMRIM not parents called 911.

When did Shomrim call?

Apparently long after they received the call from neighbors.

Why the delay?

There was a delay with Kletzky, as well.

Think about that.

[yechi ben levitas]

what is going on here i am unable to think straight with all this babble. Was the little girl unharmed and if so please make this clear to us readers.

please they called shomrim and then an hour latter most lily someone led 911

any thinking person knows a child abduction would take minutes for the police to come

why quiet let see, maybe a frum person was the so called abductor

[Mark]

Great reporting by failed messiah and ShiMon Gifter

[heshyfriedman]

I never call nypd when I witness a crime. Nypd take theis sweet time just as EMS is much slower than Hatzolah. I was in a Boro park and this black guy started shooting, I called shomrim and they collared the guy. In missing people its best to call shomrim as the police have their hands tied and cannot do anything for at least 24 hours. Shomrim can fan out and begin searching immediatly.

[FMreader]

Heshy, you are wrong. When a child is missing, the NYPD will begin a search immediately. Stop propagating lies.

Shomrim pursued and collared an armed shooter? Who are you trying to fool?

[Proud Charedi]

What a scandal...

Not saying it was smart - but it did apparently happen. I think it safe to say that over time (were this to continue) we'd see a alot more "Shomrim Shot....." then we would "Shomrim apprehend....."

[Adam Neira]

The story is unclear about what actually happened, but well done to whoever helped the girl. Thank G-d an abduction did not take place.

[A Retired Det.]

As a retired Police Officer/ Detective I can say with certainty that within seconds of a 911 operator getting a call of an abduction "IN PROGRESS" it would be hotlined to the dispatcher who would then transmit it whether or not there was an available sector/post to take the job. This would solicit a response from any unit that was close by. Contrary to popular belief we do drop what we are doing for certain "Crimes in progress" ESPECIALLY A CHILD. Also as for procedure a missing/abducted child gets an immediate response. So I can only surmise that either the delay, if one really existed was do to either someone not making a timely notification to 911, as proved out by past scenarios with shomrim, or the "Job" was not conveyed as an abduction in progress/missing child to the 911 dispatcher.
Lets get real people, It makes good press to find fault with the PD. If you only knew how well off you all are by having the Most Highly Trained and experienced Police Force in the World protecting you. Just ask yourselves if one of your loved ones was a victim of a crime, who would you want working the case? It's akin to which Doctor would you want operating on you. One with experience and training or not.

BECAUSE THIS IS A WEBSITE THAT ONLY SLAMS JEWS, YOU STUPID SCHMUCK.

[heshyfriedman]

To skeptic and rebetzin
The case involving a bank holdup in which I witnessesed and notified the shomrim thank G-d no one got hurt. The shomrim persued the armed bank robber through the heavy traffic of Boro park while on one occasion the robber waved his gun. The robber did get off some shots in the bank that hit the ceiling. The case where four shomrim did get shot but not serious was an ex con stalking little kids with his car. He had a gun as well and the shots went off as shomrim wrestled him to the ground. One shot struck the perp as well. There are shomrim members licensed to carry handguns as well so don't think they are ill prepared. They also now wear bullet proof vests. Have a great day. I'm on my way to one of the Avigdor Miller z"tl yahrtzeits. By the way Rabbi Miller supported store owners to own legal firearms.

[Proton Soup]

the guy in the video says the neighbors called the cops. and then the girl interviewed off-camera says the cops showed up 20 minutes later. and then she realizes maybe she's off-script a bit, and that changes to a half-hour later, then a long-long time later. the whole thing seems to be a shomrim propaganda piece. and some russian guy in a white suit in an old black car? maybe it was all theatre.

[groogle]

It's possible that the kid made up the whole story. But if we start thinking that kids make up stories, we won't be able to believe them when they claim a haredi molested them. And that's not good for business.

"You may recall that type of reckless parenting was the subject of some attention after the Kletzky murder last year – which took place not that far away from this attempted child abduction."

Who's in the mood for that favorite game - blame the victim.

Parenting in such a way that closes oneself off to criticism should something incredibly unlikely go wrong results in caged-in sheltered kids who know nothing of responsibility and freedom.

Kensington is, by and large, an extremely safe neighborhood. I live in the abutting neighborhood, Windsor Terrace. Kids are outside all the friggin' time. It's why people live there.

[A Retired Det.]

So does anyone know what really transpired here?
