The father of the 6-year-old victim spoke exclusively to CBS 8 about how his daughter and wife handled the ordeal.

Prosecutors charged 42-year-old Arturo Rene Lujan after he grabbed one 6-year-old girl Tuesday and a 5-year-old girl two days later.

Vince is the father of the 6-year-old girl who was kidnapped for a few moments at Mission Valley Mall on Tuesday. Vince didn’t share his last name to protect their family’s identity but wanted to alert other San Diegans to stay vigilant. "My daughter, thankfully we've gone over it before and so she knew exactly what to do: yell and scream," he said confidently."They were approaching the parking lot and a gentleman came up right from behind my daughter and picked her up and turned around. My wife within a second or two after processing it, realized and said ‘Hey, what’s going on?"

Vince says he's thankful the controversial license plate readers San Diego Police used to catch the suspect in his daughter's kidnapping worked.
