LA - 10-year old boy knocks down door to escape kidnappers after being taken at gunpoint and forced to undress - New Orleans, Sep 2025

I noticed something in the second video at approximately the 1:17 mark. Focus on the background between the brick house and the fence, where the child first appears. He appears to be walking. I don’t know if he sees his dad and that causes him to run, however he doesn’t appear to run in the direction of his dad. imo

I don't think the kid sees him at first actually. It kinda looks like dad yells and runs towards him and that's why the kid comes over in his direction from behind the van. I actually didn't see the kid in the background when I watched the video before and the body language and where he's oriented to make more sense to me now.

I'm trying to make this make sense. These kidnappers were kind enough to return his clothes? How did they know where he lived? I would be looking at local teens in the area I don't know why but that's what keeps popping in my head. IMO

he also doesn't look to be in his underwear in the video

yeah . . .

He must have forgotten about the part where he got dressed before breaking down the door while his armed captors were distracted. It happens.

I'm not gonna get mad about a 10-year-old who MOO lied, but I'd love to know if he has a history of lying and if there's an underlying reason for it.

but then they said they found his clothes outside somewhere near his house soon after this! So he must be claiming he escaped in his underwear, but I agree, not sure if video shows that

I think the biggest problem with the story is that he said there was another boy captive. That should be what LE is focusing on now, now that this boy is safe! What happened to the "other boy"? Who was he? Is someone missing a child? Or were they then? They would want to find him to see he's safe and to get a statement from him.

it's really hard to tell - I think I see white undies?
but if he wasn't, why would the parents lie about his clothing being returned

but his 6 year old brother would have to be lying too
