Brooklyn, NY – VIN News has learned that the reported abduction of a ten year old boy in Borough Park last week has turned out to be nothing more than an unfortunate misunderstanding. Official reports state that the boy darted out onto 48th Street between 14th and 15th Avenue and was nearly hit by a passing jeep. The driver of the vehicle, a Hispanic male, got out of his car, grabbed the boy by the arm and yelled at him, prompting some to believe that the driver was attempting to kidnap the boy.

Both local police and Shomrim spent three hours searching the area and an arrest was made later. The driver of the vehicle has since been released and was not charged.
Gotta love Boro Park xenophobia…
The kid knew this all along and refused to speak up most probaly cause it was drilled in to him that he was abducted if the hispanic decides to sue I hope no one will have problems with that I’m sorry to say he’s right
What a fool
thank you!
I feel bad for this hispanic I hope some community leaders and the father of the kid will apologize to him
teach children some manners and safety on how to cross the street – teach the parents too.
wow! the shomrim and police wasted 3 hours of their time to look for this guy and the boy couldn’t say the truth? reminds me of the balloon boy story…..
Stupid kid
Typical bp idiots instead of blaming the little animal who ran into the street, they blame the sheigetz who was ‘kidnapping’ him
maybe the driver is saying this story to avoid being charged….who do you believe the child or the driver? what is the evidence in favor of….
why would a child make up such a story? the whole story sounds fishy to me. someone is trying to do a good job.
Excuse me?
How abt if the boy just got scared of this big man holding his arm FOR WHATEVER THE REASON MAY BE.
Mybe the guy just wanted to scold him but the boy thought he will kidnap him too?
Whatever the reason, he had no right to grab the kid. I understand why charges are not being filed, but definetely he had to be arrested and investigated! Kudos to Shomrim!
So typical for a BP kid!
A Hispanic tries to save him, and he is so scared out of his wits by this big non-jew who btw is hardly a human being in his community, that he genuinely thinks that he’s being abducted!
Kids have to be taught to be careful when crossing, this shabbes by davening a 9 y/o child was struck by a car in front of a shul in boro park, while his father was listening to leining, the child was playing wild catch in the street. Even the car was banged up from the boys body.
I knew it from the beggining – cause he was to easy to find… usually these perks are a hard catch.
Guys are really sick! A mistake? Naive? or just never heard of anybody dropping charges! This doesn’t sound like any “Mistake”. People saw this guy holding this arm and this kid yelling! when they approached, this guy let go of the kid and took off. Yeah stupid? Mistake? NOOOOO in police terms (lowering crime rate terms) it’s called mistake. In simple english it’s considered dropped charges (which everybody knows people orthodox people have a phobia for). I just witnessed a guy robbing a saw from an mta construction site. He was caught by shomrim, held for police to book him. when the mta site manager showed up, he said sorry my superiors dont want to press any charges, they took it as a mistake and that was it!
This guy most definitely commited battery and perhaps assault as well. He could have been charged for that, and they probably didn’t charge him for it because he was “yotzei” already…
But he definitely committed a crime, and he can still be charged in civil court, and would probably have to pay nominal damages.
Ok to all self hatting Jews get of Vin #2 all outsiders of B.P what do you mean by writing a typical B.P kid I think its the 1st time a such a story happened in B.P #3 all you Kofe toves making fun of shomrem who are volunteers Helping & protecting out community 24/7 & the NYPD making fun of them that they waist it 3 hours are you out of your Mind what if it was your Kid? & after all this is not the way you teach a kid a lesson by grabbing him around 4 this it self he should of bin in central booking believe me if this story will be just the opposite a jewish driver with a Mexican kid OMG & yes better safe then sorry kids should know and be told if some1 strange touches u don’t be afraid and call police
did anyone think how petrified the goy was for almost hitting a kid????
If it was me or u guys you would would have all done the same thing!!
you would not have made nice to the child!!!!
I don’t believe it
I don’t get it. The driver was probably almost as scared as the kid. Hispanic people love kids too, and no-one wants to be responsible for a child’s death. Grabbing a kid by the arm isn’t aggravated assault. He didn’t hit the boy or shake him. That should be the parents’ job – or maybe they should have taught him not to run into the street in the first place.
No harm was done, so let’s give the outrage a rest.
Typical bashers saying typical b.p. kid.
Get over your hate.
Where were the parents??
to all you people who are yelling assault etc.. about the hispanic driver, please excuse my language but are you crazy?!!!!! If not for this driver this child might be dead!!!! Instead of apologizing you think we should arrest him for assault? you are way to far gone! It seems to me this hispanic is more machshiv our children than we are. He knows that a child who runs in the street could easily be killed and needs to be yelled at to save his life, where is your seichel? Stop seeing goyim bad, yidden good for a second and look at the situation. Use the brain Hashem gave you! We owe thanx to this man not threats of arrest!
