Just read this story. Glad this kid fought back & wasn't abducted - it could easily have gone the other way. JPS is the worst kind of scum-bag. People like this should be put in jail for the rest of their lives and never released.
If this ****** is later released - it's obvious he will just re-offend.
I'm hoping that in a while, but soon, she will look at this incident with pride in herself. Hoping no horrible nightmares (how could she not have them?). Also hoping her family, and probably counseling, will build her up and she will be able to walk tall. Surely, someone from LE will also make her feel pride from what she did.OMGthat footage made my stomach turn! Absolutely shocking and terrifying! I hope the poor girl is ok and not too traumatised.
Is he a RSO?![]()

Things can really get mixed-up in this kind of situation...I am glad that he was captured but was not impressed with the Sheriff's Facebook posting describing the suspect as a Hispanic male. He didn't look Hispanic at all in the short video and clearly he wasn't. If there is not an easy way to determine a characteristic, it would be better not to add it or the identification of the suspect could have been delayed in this case
What a jerk.Maybe they described him that way because of this:
"About two weeks before this frightening incident, Stanga allegedly approached her at the same bus stop and began speaking to her in Spanish. Feeling uneasy, she walked away and reported the incident to her mom, teachers, and school principal. "

This dangerous decrepit predator is 30yrs old. I dont know how long he is looking at but even a 20 year sentence would put him back on the street as a relatively young man.
I'm so glad she escaped - she is obviously an on-her-toes thinker. And she did the right and brave thing by telling the school when he first bothered her. So many kids keep things to themselves, not bringing the adults into the situation.Looks like Mr. Tough Guy got beat by a little girl.
So glad she escaped by using the skills she was taught. What a brave little tiger she is!
Wow!He sure picked the wrong victim.
Girl, 11, who fought off kidnapper said she smeared blue 'slime' on him to help police

Yes, I read that but my point is that saying hispanic male would create a false impression of the physical characteristics of the perpetrator. It is likely a person that speaks Spanish (fluently) and approached a victim that he considered hispanic speaking in "her" language to create confidence. It is probably important to know that the perpetrator spoke fluent Spanish and say something like "white male that speaks fluent Spanish". My neighbor speaks perfect Spanish because she is a Spanish teacher but describing her as a Hispanic female would only create confusion about her physical characteristics. I speak German but describing me as a German male would only create confusion about my physical appearance.Maybe they described him that way because of this:
