When a mother in Tigard, Oregon, spotted a man take her child into his apartment and lock the door, she wasted no time rectifying the situation.
It was on Wednesday around 6:30 p.m. that the 7-year-old boy was kidnapped while playing outside on the apartment playground.
Thankfully his mother was keeping an eye on him and she saw 56-year-old James Harman II grab her son and walk to his apartment. Observant neighbors in the area also noticed the man leading the boy off and reacted.
Rallying the neighbors, the mother called 911 and ran after the man, who had gone to his apartment with the boy and locked the door behind them, according to Oregon Live.
But a locked door wasn’t going to stop this mother, and with help from her neighbors, they broke down the door.
Harman took the boy and exited out the apartment’s other door, but was met with a crowd of neighbors and let the boy go.
