Child Abduction

(circa 2003)
In July of 2002,
I moved from Queens NY
to West Milford NJ.
I went from the concrete jungle
to “Jungle Habitat” Amusement Park Safari.
From city to rural life.
For me, it is the movie “The Village,”
a place where people have escaped
away from the “evils” of the city.
I feel safe here.
On a summer Saturday afternoon,
I stop by Three Roads Deli
at the bottom of the mountain,
and notice a three year old boy
with a Mohawk haircut, and
I find it disturbing to see one
on such a young child.
A man and woman takes his hands
And walk him towards the exit door
And the boys screams bloody murder,
I hear some commotion,
and the couple quickly walk out the store.
The next day in Church before prayers,
during testimony time, I see a man
holding the Mohawk haircut boy.
“I want to testify I am grateful I have
my son today. Yesterday, a couple
tried to kidnap my son at the deli yesterday."
I feel sick to my stomach and realize
I had been at the scene of
an abduction attempt.
I am revolted
by being in the proximity
of child molesters,
and the sense of evilness
of the kidnapping attempt
makes me physically ill.
I approach the father and ask if
he reported the incident to the police.
He says no.
????????
I say, “These people did not get
your child, but they will
kidnap another child!
YOU HAVE TO REPORT THIS!
You have to tell the police
what happened,
what the couple looked like,
what type of car they were using.”
I tell him he must report it so the police
can be on the lookout for this couple
in the town, state or nationwide.
He promises to go to the
police station after
the church service.
An Irish Catholic Priest
molestation victim says,
"When you molest a child,
you murder his/her heart."
I guess I will have to be
vigilant in the countryside
as I was in NYC.
Like the movie “The Village,”
I must accept evil can
exist anywhere.
