Outside Hamilton, Ohio, a horrendous attempted kidnapping was captured on camera.
Ken’Adi Nash was 6 years old and was doing her chores when a man approached her and inappropriately touched the child. The man started to walk away and then turned around, grabbed the child, and tried to take her away.
The little girl let out a blood-curdling scream and was able to get away and run back inside.
Ricky Nash was her dad and he jumped in his car to search for him. He called police and confronted him at an automobile body shop down the street.
“I went after him like he still had my daughter with him, because I didn’t want him to go out here and do something to another kid,”Ricky.
Deric McPherson was arrested by police and charged with inappropriate touching and abduction.
Inside Edition security expert Steve Kardian says what happened to the girl is an important reminder for all parents and kids.
“She pretty much did everything right. She was verbal, she screamed, she attracted attention and she fought back, making him leave her there and go out for a softer target,”Kardian stated.
Ken’Adi’s parents are giving full credit to their brave daughter.
“She was super brave. She listened to what we have taught her and what she’s seen on TV and she screamed and she got away, thankfully,”Mandy Nash stated.
“I just want people to know that they need to have talks with their children. They need to teach their children that this can happen if you’re not careful enough,”The mom continued.
