H**** left her school, the Talmaschool on Vaandrigstraat in Rotterdam-Crooswijk, at around 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, telling a teacher that she had an appointment at the orthodontist. Her family called the police when she did not come home at her usual time at around 3:00 p.m.

The police are very concerned about the wellbeing of the pre-teen girl. By Friday afternoon the investigation showed that she did not have an appointment at the orthodontist and that her chat contacts were deleted.

BBM. They have two pictures of the guy (one looks like a surveillance photo) in which he's wearing different clothes, so they are probably not from the same day.

On the Amber alert (automatic translation):

The alert about her disappearance was sent on the night from Thursday to Friday. Because of the time, it was decided to only send the notification to people who are also on during the night. Around seven o'clock the Amber Alert was sent again to anyone who did not receive it during the night. An Amber Alert is issued when the Dutch police fear the life of an abducted or missing child. They send such a missing message to the world 1-2 times a year.

It's also mentioned in the article that she used a family tablet for online chat.

This certainly is a big concern. The country is plastered with CCTV, and she disappeared in daylight, so hopefully police are able to trace their movements. I'm praying that she will be safe and found quickly.

According to sources close to the investigation, the man is an American. The police found him among her chat contacts. His name has not been released yet. He has not been seen with H**** on surveillance, although one of his photos is recent. For now, search for H**** is limited to Netherlands.

From De Telegraaf (automatic translation):

The man who may have taken the 12-year-old missing Rotterdam student H**** is an American of around 50 years old. The man is said to have a criminal record for sexual abuse of minors. That is the source of the research. "She is being looked for internationally. More than thirty investigators and countless agents continue to search intensively, "the police said.

They are not releasing his name, because they aren't 100% sure that he is involved. Apparently the search has now gone international.

Edit: Other sources (quoting The Public Prosecution Service) claim that it is unknown whether the man has a criminal record in the US. He doesn't have one in the Netherlands.

I'm so worried for H**** Even if she bonded with this person online, there is no way she would willingly go anywhere with him. MOO.

Luckily H**** was found. From a police tweet (automatic translation):

H**** and the suspect, a 50-year-old American, were together. They were found in a hotel in the center of Rotterdam. Hania's family was the first to be informed.

A couple of details: The surveillance photo of the suspect was from Schiphol (Amsterdam) airport. He was found with H**** in the Hilton hotel in the center of Rotterdam. He did not resist arrest.

I'm so happy that she is found!

Kudos for LE and all involved in the search for her!!

I'm so happy for H**** and her family who must have been sick with worry! Hoping the creep gets cell-packed for life.

They had him picked up in less than 24 hrs. If the photo posted was taken at the airport, then they knew from the beginning who he was, and they had him by the tail in no time.

I love the Dutch police. They move around quiet as mice so you hardly know they set up a sting. No loud sirens or flashing lights. Just in .. and .. out. Done.

"Suspect of missing H**** is called James B. and has a daughter in the Netherlands"

The suspect of missing 12-year-old H**** is James B. The 49-year-old American is said to have a past in the Netherlands. Lawyer Machteld Roethof says that the man has a daughter here. This girl and her mother, of whom she is the lawyer, would have played a role yesterday in the search for the missing Rotterdam girl and B ..

Roethof says that the police suddenly appeared on the doorstep of her client yesterday. This woman claims to have been a victim of B many years ago. She was then raped by him, fathering her daughter. At the time, the woman could not have reported this.

"The client indicates that it is clear from the police systems that she wanted to make a report at the time," the lawyer says in a statement. ,, Yesterday morning the police suddenly stood in front of the client's door. It was feared that the daughter of the client could possibly be abducted by this B. This time the police turned out to be - luckily - taking the client seriously. "" The woman would have recognized James B. in the photo.

The Public Prosecution Service does not want to confirm the name of the suspect, nor the reading that they have contacted a woman who wants to make an earlier report against him. The 49-year-old suspect is in all limitations and will be presented on Monday. However, police sources confirm the name and also parts of the story.

Yesterday morning the police distributed two photos of the American man, one was recently taken at Schiphol. The other comes from the Facebook account with the name Jamie B. This is a photo at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. According to this account, B. is now from Louisiana.

Hilton Hotel
Hours after distributing the photos, the 12-year-old girl from Rotterdam and James B. were found together in a room in the Hilton Hotel. The investigation into what happened is still ongoing. B. will be heard this weekend. H**** gets all the help and attention she needs.

Lawyer Roethof states that the woman lived in fear for B. for a long time, and was afraid that he wanted to kidnap her daughter. She now hopes to be able to make a declaration. Jacques Smits from the Child Abduction Foundation has been in contact with women for a long time. He states that B.'s daughter knows the victim H**** of an online world around horses, Star Stable. This would also be the place where B. eventually made contact with H****. The daughter also tells this to RTL news.

Why use the full name of a child who's most likely a victim of assault when posting here instead of an initial? Doesn't she have the right of anonymity the same way it has been done in cases with American children?

Her last name has never been published. In some other cases I've seen children's full names displayed until they were found and later changed into initials. After she was located the police asked people who shared pictures of her (some taken on the day she went missing) to take them down. Newer news articles still show her first name, but not her picture.

Mods, may we please change the victim’s name to initial “H” and please remove her photos?

Thanks in advance.

 

[worldwatcher]

About the victims name.. Her full name was never mentioned in msm, but there was an Amber Alert and TG that LE alerted as many people as possible.
She is found safe and Yes, LE did asked (as soon as she was found safe) to delete her picture.
I will pm a mod
I wanted to alert the mods, but WS was shut down.
It is no crime (att) to post her picture, because she needed to be found.. Time is crucial, again her full name was never published in Dutch msm!

Grooming, catfishing,sexting,etc (all internet dangers) teenagers/(adults) face needs to be discussed.

Schools here, do pick up on that, and there are public parents meetings about how to deal and trying to prevent these internet exploitation.
I was shocked,when present,during these meetings..that heret are so many dangers in digital world!

H**** is only 12 yrs old and I did read a little about her background, which (Imo) left her in a vulnerable phase in her life. She is not the only one,and I think it is just the tip of the iceberg,when it comes down to the internet dangers.

Speaking from my mind - only.. this could happen to anyone.
I am glad that her mom alerted the police and they <modsnip: unnecessary> had more then 30 investigators working on the case to bring her home safe ---≥
"Thirty investigators cooperated with two prosecutors. The OM acknowledges a strong commitment, but it was also a sort of thing. And according to the OM, account was taken of the fact that her disappearance would take days"

Vermissing 12-jarige H**** opgelost na grote inzet politie en Amber Alert

In many other cases,the biggest mistake is that LE marks it as a run away and time is wasted.

The good thing seems right now,that LE wants to undue the mistakes made in the past..?

"Woman who has James B.'s daughter has been living in fear for years"

Last Thursday, 12-year-old H**** from Rotterdam went missing. The girl would be home that day at 3:00 pm, but never arrived there. The police found the child in a hotel room in Rotterdam where the suspect James B. from America was also arrested.

B. has no criminal record in the Netherlands, but according to De Telegraaf, the man was convicted of sexual abuse of minors.

It was announced yesterday that the 49-year-old American suspect has a daughter with a 45-year-old Dutch from Eindhoven. The daughter is an internet friend of the Rotterdam H****.

Rape victim
According to Jacques Smits of the Child Abduction Foundation, the woman who has a daughter of James B. has been living in fear for years. B. would also have made numerous attempts to get custody of her daughter. The woman was allegedly raped by B. 19 years ago and her daughter was conceived. B. may also have wanted to kidnap his own daughter: the police were at his daughter's mother on Friday to warn her, says both Smits and lawyer Machteld Roethof, who assists the woman.

Mentally limited

The woman has tried to report several times over the years, but the police would not have taken her seriously. Smits says that the woman is mentally limited and has a low IQ. “Apparently you are only taken seriously if you have a normal IQ. That's ridiculous! ”Smits has since kept in touch with her and has often assisted her to prevent her daughter from ending up with James B. “ Orginazations have tried, among other things, to put the daughter out of the house and to establish an access arrangement between the rapist and his daughter, but luckily we were able to stop that.

A 49-year-old American man arrested in the disappearance of a 12-year-old girl from Rotterdam on Friday, is suspected of kidnapping and sexual abuse her, the Public Prosecutor said in a statement on Monday to NL Times. The man was arraigned on Monday and remanded into custody for two weeks while the investigation continues.
---

The man was initially only suspected of withdrawing the girl from parental authority, but further investigation also gave rise to the suspicion of sexual assault, the Prosecutor said. "The investigation into what exactly happened to the girl between the time of her disappearance and the moment she was found is still ongoing."

American authorities assisted in the investigation, the Prosecutor said to NL Times.

The suspect is in restricted custody, which means that he is only allowed contact with his lawyer. It also means that the police and Public Prosecutor are limited in what information they reveal to the public.

In other Dutch msm about Star Stables :
"They can gallop on their virtual horse across hills and through lawns full of waving flowers, fulfilling assignments, experiencing adventures and making new friends.
The Swedish company behind the game was unable to confirm this weekend that there had been contact with the Dutch police, but an internal investigation has already been initiated following the media reports. Star Stable states that safety is always "top priority". The chat is without photos or videos and only with text, says a spokesperson.
,, Participants cannot share their name and data. A security system follows the chats and responds to certain words, phrases and behavior. Moderators are always there to respond when this system sounds an alarm. All chat contacts are saved. We will do everything within our power to help the police, if asked to do so. "
