Mom accused of duct-taping daughter's boyfriend

ADELANTO, Calif. -Authorities arrested a woman for allegedly trying to kidnap her daughter's boyfriend and haul him away to Northern California. A sheriff's spokeswoman said Tuesday that two women went to the young man's home on Saturday afternoon and tried to tie him up with duct tape.

The victim told authorities the women said they were taking him to get him away from one of the women's 21-year-old daughter. Authorities said both women were arrested on suspicion of attempted kidnapping.

Officials said the girlfriend was later arrested for investigation of dissuading a witness and extortion for allegedly trying to get her boyfriend to recant his statements on the kidnapping to authorities.

Of course, how bad is the guy if mom wanted to go to such lengths to protect her daughter...

Some parents have issues when it comes to letting go of their kids. I had a few roommates in my off-campus apartment when I was in college, and one of them was female. Her dad walked in our front door uninvited about a week after she moved in and just started grabbing her stuff. She wasn't home at that moment, but when two of my other roommates confronted him (they didn't know who he was, just some weirdo who walked in the door and started grabbing our roommates stuff), he went off and threatened to kill them for trying to have sex with his daughter (they hadn't). The police showed up and arrested him.

She informed us afterward that her dad had also assaulted two of her boyfriends in high school for being "inappropriate", and still expected her to call home daily to check in. Her freshman year in the dorms, he was also notorious for just dropping by at random times to make sure she wasn't out partying.

I'm happy to say that she was thoroughly corrupted hard drinking pothead by the end of her first year with us :evilgrin:

a couple of years ago?

it is amazing how crazy parents can be. i guess that guy was one step below helicopter parent?? man!! my dad would have never done that! That's why you need to let your kids go out in the world on their own while they are still living in your house. that way you can help them if they get in trouble and give them guidance. all that happens when we overprotect our kids is that eventually they have to get by on their own and they can get themselves into situations they didn't know to worry about (been there, done that and almost got raped.) and when they are adults, you have to let them make mistakes. if you give them space and respect, I do believe they will confide in you and ask for your advice. I at least hope that.

I remember when my eldest daughter was little. I took her to the park. She was about 2, i guess. I was her shadow. Right there to help her climb the ladder and to catch her on the slide. I was very protective. But as she gained confidence and didn't need me, I hung back a bit. And eventually, I was sitting on the bench or on a blanket while she ran around... secure in the knowledge that she was capable of having fun and not getting hurt, and she knew what the rules were. Kids need that. They need to have confidence. We cannot spend their lives shadowing them. They will eventually have to be on their own one way or the other. Better that they can do it with confidence and knowing that we are not far if they need us.

I fantasized about doing much the same (AND WORSE) to the low life piece of shit that was beating my 21 year old daughter on a regular basis. Fortunately she managed to get out of the situation before it got past the fantasy stages.

one of my girls.

It would take the power of God to hold me back.

glad to hear she dumped the jerk on her own. and i think, i hope, that would help her have more confidence to not let anyone do that to her again.

Uncle Buck.

and applying that duct-tape to the skin? I guess they weren't all crazy.

I'd be a wealthy man.

people!! kidnapping the daughter's boyfriend!! apparently she doesn't know... you just be nice and keep out of it, and usually one of two things happens... either they get married, or they split up. i don't think kidnapping the boyfriend helps you... normally.

*sigh*

And, you have an alibi, I hope?

Home. No witnesses. Mr. Gray will deny he saw me.
