Gunmen Abduct Child In Milwaukee As Father Abandons 7-Year-Old, Runs To Safety
The boy's father claimed that he believed the men were there to rob him, not kidnap his son. In a chilling video that recently went viral, a seven-year-old boy was kidnapped at gunpoint in the US state of Milwaukee last week. What's more shocking is how his father responded to the situation. According to the visuals, the boy's father chose to abandon his son and flee the scene. The timeline of events has sparked outrage among netizens, who have heavily criticised the father's reaction. In the footage obtained by WISN, Jamal White, the seven-year-old boy, can be seen playing and riding his bike near his home in Milwaukee. However, the joy quickly turned into horror when a white Jeep Renegade pulled up near the family's driveway. The vehicle reportedly surveyed the area before blocking the driveway. As soon as it stopped, two men jumped out and grabbed the child. Shockingly, his father, Jamal Sr., abandoned the abducted boy and ran straight into the house. Moments later, he reappeared and was seen slamming the trunk of his car. Initial details released by the police described one suspect as a Black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a face mask. Authorities also issued an Amber Alert shortly after the abduction. Responding to the backlash over his actions, the father wrote on Facebook, 'Hell yeah I ran," claiming that he believed the men were there to rob him, not kidnap his son. Fortunately, the boy was found safe within a day at a house just a few miles from his home. The father also mentioned that his son used escape strategies he had been taught. So far, three people have been arrested in connection with the incident. The boy's uncle, Jamel K. White, was among those taken into custody for allegedly opening fire on two men, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He faces charges of recklessly endangering safety with a dangerous weapon. However, the 27-year-old uncle has not been charged in relation to the abduction. He stated that he fired his weapon out of fear for his family's safety, not to harm anyone. Two men, aged 27 and 25, have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping. While the motive for the crime has not yet been confirmed, police say the investigation remains active.
