No parent ever wants to hear that their child has been placed in harm’s way, but certainly not that they’ve fallen victim to an adult entrusted with their safety. Thanks to a radio Amber Alert, two children have been safely returned to their mother.
A woman who wishes to be identified only by the name Kelci had just heard a radio Amber Alert when she saw a van of a similar description pull directly in front of her on the highway. Deciding to err on the side of precaution, she immediately dialed 911.
“This guy pulled right in front of me, and it was that same exact car,” she tells KATU News. “And so instantly I kind of like looked and I was, ‘OK, it’s an Idaho’ and I was like, ‘OK, Kelci, you just have to call 911.' ”
Following the car, Kelci was able to describe the vehicle to a dispatcher while state troopers raced to intercept the vehicle. The man who allegedly kidnapped the children, their father, is now behind bars thanks to her quick thinking.
“I’m a mom,” she tells ABC News. “So if this happened to me, I’d want anybody to just go the extra mile.”
And thanks to Kelci’s intuition, the children were returned to their mother unharmed.
