Two Florida girls were rescued from a kidnapping in progress when alert churchgoers foiled the plot after one of the girls mouthed, “help me, this is not my dad.”
David Daniels of Brandon was arrested by Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies on two counts of false imprisonment of a child and child abuse, Fox 13 reported.
The two girls, both under 12 years old, had just exited the Cherry’s Bar and Grill in FishHawk’s park square when 37-year-old Daniels approached them and said he would walk them home.
Daniels allegedly struck one of the girls over the head multiple times as he followed them, at which point they got on their bikes and headed to a nearby church. Daniels caught up with them and entered the church pretending to be their father, sheriff’s deputies said.
