The child, who was located safely a short time later, had been taken from a park bench on Thursday evening."[The child] was on a park bench, she was with her two 13-year-old brothers who had walked away for a moment," said CPD Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan. "And then there was an individual who was 23 years of age, who came by and basically kind of grabbed the child."
The incident took place around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday in the 7600 block of South Coles Avenue – just a few blocks away from an elementary school."She could tell that the 7-year-old didn’t want to be with this male," said Deenihan.Police said the young girl had been with her older brothers, who had walked away for a moment. Thankfully, someone else was watching.
"Really the message is, thank God the citizen saw that, she knew something was wrong, and she called the police right away. And she actually followed the individual, and helped police then apprehend the individual before something more tragic happened," said Deenihan. Police arrested the 23-year-old, who they said was on the second-floor balcony of an apartment complex "engaged in an indecent act" in the presence of the child.Advertisement
