Suspisious Activity Near The Zoo In Salisbury
Just so others are more aware. Please be safe out there especially with your kids. This happened earlier today around 1pm...
My husband, son, a friend of ours and I were going to walk around the zoo for a little while since it was nice outside. We were walking by Ben’s Red Swings playground towards the zoo entrance, and our 2-year old was holding his dad’s hand, our friend was walking right with them, and I was about 2 feet away just looking around at everything. A teenaged girl about 15-17 years old walked up to my husband and told him that our son’s “mom” was calling for him, and his name was Carter so she was going to take the baby to her. My husband said that it was definitely his son and our friend confirmed. The girl said that his mom needed him (my husband said no i’t his son again) and she was taking him, and reached for our son. As she did, our son tried to back away from her and his dad was picking him up. As soon as our son was picked up by my husband, he turned his other shoulder to her, and she tried to grab him again. Our friend got between the girl and my husband and son as I was coming around them. I grabbed her by her wrists, definitely harder than I realized (and was told that I pinned her up against the fence, which I didn’t realize at the time because I was in defense mode) and yelled at her “No, that’s my son.” Only then did she back off and said “Sorry, I didn’t realize you were his mom,” and ran away to the parking lot faster than anyone I’ve seen before. If she really was trying to help a mom find a child, she would have known what the child looked like (no other kid looked even remotely looked like him), would have run back into the playground (where she said the “mom” was), and would have realized her “mistake” sooner. We also looked around after she took off to see if anyone was missing a child that they were looking for, wanting to help if it was a misunderstanding. She intentionally targeted my husband because she did not realize his mom was already there, and people would have most likely defended her in taking my child because she was a plain looking teenager, and a female. We have made a police report. The girl that tried to take our son was about 5’3’’, white, glasses, thin build, and had short frizzy light brown hair. After all of this happened, another one of our friends was at the playground yesterday and gave me her description before I told him exactly what she looked like, and she was there the day before with a skinny, mixed, male. They were sitting at the playground looking around, and had no child(ren) with them. This is unfortunately common tactic used for human trafficking, which has become a really bad problem in this area.
Way to go Jake Day!! Your progressive views and agenda sure are making Salisbury a safer and better city.You're right some people are against change especially when it's for the worse
ReplyDeleteSomeone tried to kidnap your son and no one follows her? There were 3 adults and no one goes after her?
ReplyDeleteHuman trafficking a 2 year old? Every time one of these stores are told the last line is "human trafficking" the new boogie man.
There are always so many unanswered questions in these type of stories.
Really bad in this area? Can you state one case? I have yet to read a press release showing how bad the "human trafficking" is around here.
7:45-Multiple arrests at a hotel in North Salisbury for human trafficking. Guy got life in prison. About 5 years ago. American suites I think was the name of the hotel. Multiple press releases. It happens, so there you go.
Delete7:45
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time you saw a press release about anything from the Salisbury Police?
sounds like BS to me.
ReplyDeleteApril 12, 2019 at 7:52 AM
ReplyDeleteEvery-time there is a run-away there is a press release.
And 2 days later they are found.
No one bothers looking at them anymore because it is a waste of time.
When was the last time you saw a press release of a kidnapping around here
What? A 5'3" skinny teen girl tried to take your kid and nobody beat the snot out of her? You didn't knock her down, then hold her and call the police? Oh, no, because "people would have most likely defended her"...??? Something is very fishy here. And when exactly were the police called?
ReplyDelete8:10 You can't look at them when there is none. Go to their website and see for yourself. Tell me when was the last press release post about a missing person or any crime for that matter.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with 745a
ReplyDeleteApril 12, 2019 at 8:22 AM - They are all over fb, all over Joe's site.
ReplyDeleteOther than that 1 dear child that was kidnapped and killed by that POS that is now in jail, there has not been 1 kidnapping in this area.
You're an idiot if you think the media isn't going to tell you about an actual kidnapped child.
When was the last amber alert for this area? None, nada, because there aren't any.
Shelter in your safe place, Run, Hide, the human trafficking boogie man is coming.
Fake news
Delete8:22 AM There aren't any press releases for kidnappings because there aren't any, there are no amber alerts because there are no stolen children.
ReplyDeleteAre you really that stupid to think if there is a missing, stolen/kidnapped child the media isn't going to cover it.
Last time it happened people interrupted their christmas to help find her, why? Because it was TRUE.
Get real.
8:34
ReplyDeleteThere have been no press releases from SPD on this blog in a long time. They refuse to email them to us and rarely ever post anything on Facebook or the SPD web page. They have even stopped doing the weekly Crime bulletin they used to do and post on Facebook. You can sign up for "Crimereport" and it emails you each day of the crimes. However SPD takes days to enter in crimes so you really can't tell much about the crime and the numbers from that web page don't always match the numbers they post each month in their crime stats.
Easy to be a keyboard hero and say "I would have beat her up". Really? As a 30ish year old man you are going to beat up a teenager ? As any normal person, their first thought was that this girl was mistaken and had the wrong kid, and there was a lost kid out there. Just because there has not been reports of a successful kidnapping, doesn't mean there hasn't been attempts. Take what you will from the account of what happened, the real issue here is keep your eyes on your kids!
ReplyDeleteMany people have been calling for video surveillance at the park for a long time. Here's yet another example of why.
ReplyDeleteSbynews Staff - Ok and?? - going off topic a bit.
ReplyDeleteYou think that if a child is kidnapped the media and cops are going to ignore it and not alert the public.
Look, there is a possibility some type of altercation happened, but people exaggerate, and the last line in every single one of these unproven stories is the new human trafficking boogieman.
Yet no one that I run into in the community talks about "our awful human trafficking problem" here. Haven't heard of a kidnapped child in years. The last amber alert was out of baltimore.
The lack of press releases proves nothing, other than SPD is incompetent.
If there was an actual or attempted kidnapping it would be on the news and the "adults" there would have held on to her until the police arrived. The woman admitted she had her pinned. All someone had to do is call 911.
People need to quit embellishing and tell the story as it is.
It could be valuable information but the warning gets lost when you start over inflating it.
Peace and hope you have a great summer at the new establishment.
8:44 AM - one case how many years ago?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't quite support the "how bad human trafficking is around here" statement
9:08- How many cases does it need to be? How many come through the area that have not been spotted? A question was asked. I answered it. I don't know what the hell you're trying to do. It appears you are making light of the rape of children because you don't see it much. That case had multiple victims, too. Also, I told you already. It was about 5 years ago. Your very first question was already answered in my last comment. What's the matter with you!?
Delete8:59 AM - THAT money was spend on the failed folked festival. Maybe the zoo can put more "beg for money" cans in the elementary schools and scarf up the change out of childrens pockets to fund the security cameras.
ReplyDeleteI hope there are security cameras. Maybe they can check the local homes along that road and see if anyone has Nest or Ring.
ReplyDeleteI went so far as to view not only her page but his and the video he made.
ReplyDeleteHere is the flaw in their story, and further embellishing:
They propose that any single man with a child alone in the park could be under suspicion. Any other citizen can make an accusation that it is not his child but hers/theirs. And the likelihood is that the crowd is going to be against him?! And to carry proof that this is your child!
Stupid much?
He has a wife, sister, mother, mother inlaw, father, father inlaw and brother who can all prove the child is not hers. And I am sure he has a birth certificate and family photos.
The cops aren't just going to hand over the child to anyone based on he said she said.
Beware out there, its scary!
7:45 you are obviously living in a room only looking at what you want to. It's here...go to the courthouse. There are 4 cases active in Georgetown now. It is right under your nose. You probably don't have any children or loved ones that you care to worry about. "rolling eye emoji"
ReplyDeleteNo your the reason why everything is illegal. Illegal this and that, rain tax ditch tax. Government please protect me from myself and take away all my liberties so you can keep me safe. Georgetown human trafficking is from people being trafficked into Georgetown not out of georgetown. Just stop, the manipulation of everything. Leave us alone, we want to live free. Awhile ago a major city in japan was nuked, cities are always being nuked all the time. I have nuke proof refrigerators i can sell you. Run and hide its not safe.
DeleteHis name is Aniceto Ortiz, 33, of Georgetown. And the Georgetown police say he illegally smuggled people into the U.S. from Mexico.
The police say Ortiz scammed people into moving to the United States. He promised the family of a 14-year-old girl that she would have a better life and financial opportunities in Georgetown.
And people think there is no need for Concealed Carry Permits! Suppose this chick was armed when the boys mother grabbed her. Instead of running to the parking lot, she may have turned and fired, then ran.
ReplyDeleteYou idiots don't have a clue. Salisbury has had several molestation and rapes of minors. If you want the truth ask the states attorney for their records of such instances in Salisbur/wicomico county. Everyone that has any clue of the reality of problems occurring in Salisbury knows Jake Day has lied and gone above and beyond hiding these statistics
ReplyDeleteYou just had a 23 year old Salisbury resident convicted lessthan 3 months ago of sex with a 1 year old
ReplyDelete1026, he knew the child and the mother. It was not "stranger danger." Almost all victims of molestation know their abuser. If you're worried about molestation (and yes, you should be), don't look at the windowless van down the street, look in your own home, school, day care, etc. The problem with disproportionate fear mongering is that it diverts resources and attention from where it can most effectively be utilized.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you know what the definition of Human Trafficking is? Obviously the author doesn't
ReplyDeleteHere I will help you:
Human trafficking definition is - organized criminal activity in which human beings are treated as possessions to be controlled and exploited (as by being forced into prostitution or involuntary labor).
So how does she know this person was going to Human Traffic her child?
9:28 AM What has Georgetown got to do with Salisbury?
ReplyDelete9:46 AM The child was not raped or molested and your story was 5 years ago, so I guess that proves Human Trafficking isn't a HUGE issue here, eh?
10:26 AM What has that got to do with this story? Nothing.
Northwest Woodsman: A few years ago, my wife, two daughters and a son in law were walking on the strand in San Diego along with their two young sons. A creep on a bicycle came up and began circling the youngest, getting closer each time. I immediately considered this as a threat and moved closer to the creep and got between him and the child. He became visibly angry and made an aggressive move towards me. That was a mistake because I immediately grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, ramming his hand almost up to his neck. As he screamed in pain, I shoved him across the walkway and dumped him headfirst into a 55 gallon steel trash can that was placed in the sand at the edge of the walk. The can fell over and we ended up in the sand, him face down and with my knee in his back. He continued to scream as I put more pressure on his arm.. I bent down close to his ear and told him that he had two choices, the first that I would increase the pain until his shoulder dislocated and the second to get on his bike and get out of the area immediately. As I looked around behind me, I saw that a crowd of about two hundred people had gathered to watch. As luck would have it, a San Diego PD patrol unit arrived as I let the creep go. They attempted to stop him but he didn’t obey their commands. I gave the details to one of the officers and as my family and I left, I saw the SDPD officers deploy their batons and follow the creep down an alley. End of story as I don’t know what happened after that. Never gave “ human trafficking “ a thought but I guess it is possible that was the intent.
ReplyDelete9:46 AM LOLOL what an idiot. Go find yourself a safe space.
ReplyDeleteThe incident you speak of was 5 years ago and they were not children.
Get a grip
11:03- Back again? Why do I need a safe space? Boy, you hate being wrong! Keep going with your tantrum.
Delete11:03- Facts don't care about your feelings.
Delete11:03- Facts don't care about your feelings.
DeleteThere's a lot of weird things happening at the park all the time.
ReplyDeletethis is fake news if you dont believe me just ask mayor jake he will tell you the truth
ReplyDeleteGraham's the biggest loser I've ever met. This dude's been making up stories since high school. Used to claim he owned a Desert Eagle .50 and all sorts of other crazy BS.
ReplyDelete11:24 AM if his lips are moving, probably not.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't go so far as to say that this is fake news, but the best advice I would give to anyone is stay out of the park/zoo area in Salisbury. Bad crap does happen there. The zoo does not belong there and the sickos out there know people with children are going to come there and real harm could be done. Please just stay away from this area.
ReplyDelete1:11 PM ha ha ha ha, really?
ReplyDelete1:53- makes more sense than your dribble.
Delete@10:57 I doubt very seriously these actions are isolated. It tends to get worse the longer the perpetrators go undetected. I doubt that all their victims are family of friends of the family
ReplyDeleteActually 419, they almost always are. It's called grooming.
DeleteThe area is flooded with heroin and prostitution. I would be very skeptical about taking any kids around the area. I'm sure there's plenty of used condoms and syringes lying around
ReplyDeleteWe keep telling you "Selfie Jake" there are more important issues in this town than festivals, walk and bike paths and oh yea more bars!!!!!!! Jake and the City Council need to be replaced they do not have a clue. How much is that walk across from the "Ampitheatre" on the rt side of Rt 13 costing us? Get your heads out of your butts before the only media coverage you get is National News for the worst city in America!
ReplyDeletethis happened to me when my daughter was 2 years old back in the 80's, a lady tried to take her from the old mall. So This stuff does happen, and yes right here on the shore, in the Bury. Watch your kids and do not let them out to play or go any where alone., There are a lot of nuts in this world. Please don't let your child be a victim. Always use supervision.
ReplyDeleteTo the news staff of this blog ,
ReplyDeleteYou must understand why you are not getting any reports from the Salisbury police :
1. They don't care for your blog
2. Wicomico Sheriffs do 99% of the police work in da bury
3. Chief Duncan is a female without a clue (another failed female leader)
4. Salisbury police are nothing more than gun carrying boy scouts.
It's time to get a true leader in Salisbury that will meet all people's concerns and not continue to shove this progressive BS down everyone's throats. it's lies and deceit are being exposed nationally and create nothing but division. "DOWN WITH DAY"
ReplyDeleteYes, you always hear about watching your kids closely and not texting while they are playing even just feet away because they can be grabbed. But this was pretty brazen, trying to grab the kid from someone holding his hand.
ReplyDeleteIf thisstory is true, the police should have been called and the girl watched until they got there!
ReplyDelete4/12 @ 1:52 PM, keep on laughing. If anything happens to one of yours, you'll be laughing out of the other side of your stupid face.
ReplyDeleteApril 14, 2019 at 4:01 PM
ReplyDeleteyou should stay in your house too because if you go outside bad things happen there.
Ya know with how bad the human trafficking is here in the ghetto.
It more likely you will step on a crack pipe, than getting human trafficked in this town.
I call BullSh!t, where's the pics / video of the girl. Every one of you had a cellphone in your hands or pockets and no one not one single person out of three adults, thought to get a pic?
ReplyDeleteCome on? Sorry, not buying it!
I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember ? Here on our little wholesome Shore some trailer trash gal took in Leroy Leusechner a released sexual predator before that was a common term. He abducted strangled with their own under wear and sodomized Troy Krause and Rusty Marine and buried them in a shallow dry stream bed.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed when I check the predator listings. People I grew up from good homes are on there having engaged in child pornography and soliciting minors for perverted acts. Some are even employed by well know family businesses that we consider solid as if perversion is some misunderstanding and forgivable act.
I would not be as concerned with notions of outsider Human Trafficking as I would be the perversions of your own neighbors.
@8:46 don't forget old Terry White
ReplyDeleteThe CAC used to get dozens of pervs to come to salisbury believing they would meet a child for sex. There has been numerous cases of human trafficking here. Check the definition of the term before you disclaim. Was that you Jake saying it never happens. 11:02 really dude are you Jack Reacher lol. I immediately took it as a threat. Men who truly can handle their business never talk of it. So where were you employed as an officer. I will say in this case I would have beaten that girl with monotonous regularity. If this girl actually exist.
