A 7-year-old Georgia girl managed to scream and kick her way out of a kidnapping attempt in an Atlanta area Walmart by a man out on parole for voluntary manslaughter, authorities said.
Brittney Baxter was alone in the toy aisle of a Bremen, Ga., Walmart Wednesday while her mom was briefly in another section of the store, the family told “Good Morning America.”
As Brittney stood alone, Bremen police say Thomas A. Woods, 25, of Austell, Ga., grabbed her and tried to take her out of the store.
Store video captured Woods trying to silence Brittney while she fought back.
“I was screaming and kicking and trying to get away and he put his hand over my mouth,” Brittney said in an interview in her family’s home just hours after the incident occurred.
Brittney’s fight proved effective as Woods quickly dropped her to make an escape from the store.
“He just dropped me and went and ran off,” Brittney, a second-grader, said.
Surveillance cameras outside the store captured Woods getting into his car. Police were able to put out a detailed alert that resulted in Woods being caught by police less than an hour later in Tallapoosa, Ga., a town about 10 miles west of the store.
Police said Woods was released from state prison in October after serving four years for a 2004 conviction for voluntary manslaughter.
Woods matched the man in the video with Brittney, but denied being in Walmart.
“I didn’t bother nobody, I was never there,” he told reporters after his arrest.
Woods was later charged with attempted kidnapping and is being held at the Haralson County Jail.
Brittney’s family is grateful their daughter is okay, and happy that she is such a fighter.
“I’m very proud of her,” said her dad, Randall Baxter. “I just thank the Lord that she got away.”
Although her mom, Georgeann Baxter, whom Brittney was with at the store, says she is still “scared to death” after the incident, Brittney knows what she would do if it ever happens again.
“Always scream, try to scream and kick as hard as you can and go get someone you can trust,” she said.[/quote]
Finally a happy story. Glad she's okay. Hope this sick fuck gets ass raped in jail.
Video is in the sources. Footage of the creep grabbing her, and her getting away.

Don't thanks the lord, you dumbass, he didn't do a thing, thank your kid for listening to you when you told her to fight back against kidnappers.
“Always scream, try to scream and kick as hard as you can"
I have a hard time imagining a child being abducted and having nothing to say but "'kay :3".

They are scared, they might just lock up and not do anything out of fear.

Why the hostility?

I mean some kid escaped a kidnapper and you're pissed off because the parents thanked god for it? Why is that reasonable at all?

Because it shifts the focus from this courageous girl to a character of literary fiction.

Well maybe they believe in god and believe that he intervened on the girl's behalf. That's pretty fucking reasonable if the person is a christian.

Uh, you could believe your deity intervenes at any point, it's just ignorant to believe that they're only thinking that their deity himself stopped it
Jesus Christ people, let's not get into another one of these damned discussions. What matters is that the girl is safe, the man was apprehended, and the parents are happy.

Did you do that on purpose? :v:
[QUOTE=legolover122;34623991]Did you do that on purpose? :v:[/QUOTE]
No, it's just a common exclamation for Americans and (I believe) the English
While I agree it is dumb to "Thank the lord" for anything, the argument has no place in this thread.
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;34624011]No, it's just a common exclamation for Americans and (I believe) the English[/QUOTE]
I know that. I was just wondering if he used it as a joke seeing the context.
Hence the question.

but it still doesn't make sense
okay maybe I'm stupid, I don't know all kinds of shit about christianity, but why intercede on her behalf and [i]not on the behalf of many other christian little girls who have been kidnapped?[/i]
The Lord helps those who help themselves. :v:

purple-face disease is a common disease. when you get the purpleface you start yelling incoherences at the nearest spectators.
[QUOTE=legolover122;34623991]Did you do that on purpose? :v:[/QUOTE]
Christians probably wouldnt say that considering it goes against their faith.
[QUOTE=Snuffy;34624091]The Lord helps those who help themselves.[/QUOTE]
but if you helped yourself [i]you didn't need help[/i]
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;34624175]but if you helped yourself [i]you didn't need help[/i][/QUOTE]
Uh, yeah you did. Hence the helping.
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;34624221]Uh, yeah you did. Hence the helping.[/QUOTE]
What?
Okay so here's how I understand it
Step 1: You helped yourself. Problem solved.
Where does god enter this and why would he enter this if said individual is capable of and in the process of helping themselves?

There was no point in bringing that up.
Don't treat every reference to religion, no matter how tiny, like it's some sort of insult against you.
Anyways, it's good the kid managed to stave off the guy, things really would have ended badly if she didn't do what she did.
Do you guys always have to start a religion flame war?
