On Sunday 24 February 2024 there was an attempted abduction of a 12-year-old boy in Mar Vista, California.
A white van followed the 12-year-old boy as he walked to a friend's house and pulled up ahead of him. The man got out of the white van and then opened the side door of a white van, then turned towards him. The boy felt uncomfortable and crossed the street. The man followed him. The boy's instincts saved him.
In this video I share what happened when I found out that a similar white van with a distinctive big padlock on the outside of the van doors was posted up in front of a children's playground.
