Good Samaritan Chases Down Kidnapper, Saves Girl

FRESNO, Calif. --- In our selfish every-man-for-himself world, it is hard to find people who put their own safety at risk to help others. Well, one man in California is being hailed as a hero for rescuing a little girl from her kidnapper.

Victor Perez was watching the news early Tuesday morning in his house in Fresno when he saw a story about an eight year old girl who was kidnapped. Perez paid close attention to the description of the kidnapper's pickup truck --  an older-model, reddish-brown Chevrolet with a white stripe on the side.

A little while later, Perez was outside his house when he saw a truck that matched the description. "I thought, that could be the truck," Perez told CNN.

Perez jumped into action, getting into his own truck and giving chase. After confronting the man, he eventually pushed the girl out of the truck. Perez stayed with her while police later tracked down the driver.

Perez said he was "beyond scared" because he had no idea whether the man had any weapons. It turned out he did not.

 >>If there were more people like that in this world I think we would all lay our head down a little easier at night. I think the author had it right "every-man-for-himself world" ..What is this world coming to?  Now days we are so self absorbed and distracted, we don't even notice the person waving from the car that has pulled up beside us a the stop light. (How many times has that happened? haha) We need to slow down, and "smell the roses" What's all the hurry for anyhow. Do you even know your neighbor? How are we suppose to watch each others back if we never take the time to have a relationship with people. I know every time I bake something I send the kids over with a plate of some for our awesome neighbor. I Like knowing my neighbors, because we watch out for one another, and do things for one another. He wouldn't have had that banana bread if it wasn't for his baking powder lol. Ok so im off on a tangent again. Just remember folks you reap what you sow, or in other terms what goes around comes around. And I hope for this man he reaps his blessing, for he saved someone's child at the risk of his life. Incredible!<<
