WI - Jamal White, 7, taken a gunpoint by unk male & put into a white Jeep Renegade SUV, 6200 block W Hustis, Milwaukee, 11 Jul 2025 *arrests*

[teeby]

I think BC may be the 14 year old who participated in the robbery gone awry turned abduction and has not been named MOO

Oh you're right -- here's an article that describes the person planning the thing as 14. Wow, it's hard for me to imagine kidnapping a child because a 9th grader said it sounded like a good idea. Everything about this situation is so incredibly odd to me.

Police: Kidnapped Milwaukee boy taken in failed attempt to rob child's mother

Suspect claims 14-year-old orchestrated plan to rob the child's mother before the kidnapping turned into $100K ransom demand.

Jamal later told police he heard his mother say she would come pick him up, but he teared up in the interview when he said she never showed up.

Poor little Jamal! That's when he notices his mother isn't showing up for him. Although imho he'll be better off in foster care and hopefully never goes back to his mother or other family mbrs, he can't know that at his age. So of course he will feel sad and betrayed and let down by his mother. MOO

I really hope he gets the help he needs to recover from this incident, or at least partially recover.

 

[seasideForest]

The story about 4 armed, masked kidnappers never made sense, especially in a case where the child is released unharmed blocks away.

It seemed staged. IMO

Watching the supposed kidnapping by vehicle didn't even make sense to me - I couldn't follow it, I thought I was just dumb, but it turns out maybe not...

 

[Knox]

We don't know who the "BC" person mentioned in this affidavit is, right? Just making sure I haven't missed anything.

Probably the 14 year old minor. Williams and minor are the only two who have been arrested correct? The third individual is still being investigated.

Did you look at Mom’s fb page? I think it shows where her focus lies, MOO. Even though he is in some pictures …

Poor little guy, he needs to just be a kid in a secure, loving home.

No, I didn't. I'm not on FB. But I believe it that he's not her focus, as your post implies.

Sounds like that 14 year old never had a chance

Sounds like that 14 year old never had a chance

I didn't get much out of the 14 year old's background from that. (but it's early and I'm not yet had coffee) It can't have been good. The comments about the "boy's mother" being arrested on a probation violation referred to Jamal's mother (the kidnapped child) Since it was clarified after I'd posted a while back that her arrest was NOT in relation to the kidnapping, we can't link the case that warranted the arrest.

 

[Spectrix]

Sounds like that 14 year old never had a chance

According to court documents, the 14-year-old actually initiated the plan - he contacted 25-year-old Corey Williams with a scheme to rob Jamal’s mother, who he claimed was flaunting cash and drugs.

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make with the bolded statement

A 14 year old initiated a kidnapping and the adults around him said “yeah sure”

1. 14 year olds who have had fab lives dont generally randomly say hey let me kidnap a kid
2. He accessed, at 14, a known drug dealer and another grown adult who went along with it

No. He never had a chance and while at 14 he made this choice, clearly if this was of his own mental doing, enough people were aware that he could have been admitted instead supported

 

[TMich6811]

I feel like I know where this is going next so I just want to remind us

It’s okay to say the world failed someone while at the same time acknowledging they had “choice” and hold them accountable for what they chose to do.

I'm simply letting you know what the court documents state.
Your theory may be that this 14 year old is somehow a victim.
Well, he orchestrated a plan to kidnap a child at gunpoint, and prosecutors are pushing that he be tried as an adult.

IMO the victim is Jamal, the 7 year old.

Good grief.
Sure, just run into the house and leave your own child outside.
Smh.

Glad Jamal is safe, but I wish they'd adopt him out to a better family.

A brief synoposis of the current charges and another case, that though back in 2013, might be factored into sentenciing as "prior felony history", in my opinion.

[katydid23]

I'm curious to see how this hearing goes. Is this 14 yr old going to look and act like a young kid that got in over his head, and is now humbled, regretful and wanting to change his life's trajectory?

OR is he going to be arrogant and smiling with conceit and act like a gang banger, proudly on his way to adult prison ?
