I am not a LEO, and I am not trained to be a LEO. That said, if someone was kidnapping one of my neighbor's kids I would jump in if I was able to. It would depend on circumstances, but there aren't very many circumstances where I WOULDN'T assist.. We are a pretty close-nitched neighborhood though around here, and I'm sure that any of my neighbors would do the same for my daughter...MBGuy wrote:Ok, but what if you know them? The setting I live in there are neigbors to both sides of me with kids. I know them, know the parents, etc. Let's say that one of said kids is riding his/her bike from a friend's house up the road and there's an attempt to kidnap him/her. I KNOW it's not the parents or relatives. What then? Being that I'm always outside and always armed, I've always assumed that if close enough, I'd draw if it's not too late and yell like crazy to get some more neighbors attention, hopefully the parents of said child. Otherwise, if too far, I'd call 911 and get in the car. Once again, I know the kids, their parents, and even some of the grandparents, and the fact that these kids wouldn't throw temper tantrums just cause they didn't want to go somewhere.
Ya'll might say I'm wrong, but if I'm 100% sure as I would be in the case of OUR kids on OUR street, I'm not just going to be a good witness.
