Two toddlers were dramatically rescued by Washington State Patrol after a dangerous kidnapping. Bodycam footage shows cops using a PIT maneuver to stop a stolen car carrying the kids. The suspects – a man and the children’s own mother – were arrested.
Cops sprang into action after an AMBER Alert pinged the stolen Mazda SUV crossing into Washington. Troopers tracked the vehicle to a rest stop near George. When the driver tried to flee, officers chased them down I-90 at high speeds.
The brave troopers used a precision PIT maneuver to spin out the SUV safely. Bodycam video shows officers carefully pulling the mother from the backseat as glass shards flew. “I don’t want anyone to get hurt,” an officer calmly told her while securing the scene.
Both kids – ages 2 and 3 – were found unharmed in the wrecked vehicle. Officers gently lifted the toddlers from the broken windows, placing them safely on the roadside. One trooper assured the scared children: “We got some friends here for you.”
The driver faces felony charges for stealing the car and running from police. The mother violated a court order by taking kids she didn’t have custody of. Both suspects now face extradition to Oregon for additional charges.
This heart-pounding rescue shows why AMBER Alerts save lives. Quick teamwork between Washington and Oregon cops prevented a tragedy. Law enforcement’s training and bravery turned a nightmare scenario into a miracle.
It’s disgusting that a mother would put her own children in danger like this. Family courts exist to protect kids from unstable parents. This case proves why strong law enforcement matters – criminals won’t stop themselves.
Americans should cheer these heroes in uniform who risk their lives daily. While liberals attack police funding, real patriots know cops are our last line of defense. Tonight, two toddlers are safe because brave officers did their job.
