Deranged! Family arranges kidnap of 6 year old to 'teach him a lesson'

© unknown

Imagine being a 6-year-old boy.

You get off your school bus and begin to walk home.

You are greeted by a man who lures you to his truck.

That man drives off with you and tells you you'll never see your mother again, and that you will be nailed to the wall of a shed.

You are terrified, of course, so you start crying.

The man pulls out a handgun and threatens to hurt you if you don't stop crying.

Then the man binds your feet and hands together with plastic bags and covers your face with a jacket.

He takes you to his house, carries you to the basement, and leaves you there for a little while.

Then a woman comes down to the basement and pulls your pants down. She shouts at you...tells you that you will be sold into sex slavery. She berates you for not trying to fight her or the man who kidnapped you.

You are then left alone in the basement for a bit longer. You wonder what is going to happen to you next.

****

After some time, you are unbound and allowed to go upstairs.

That's when you are told that your family planned this.

This sounds like the plot of a horror movie, or an episode of a crime TV show.

Unfortunately, it really happened. A family in Troy, MO, actually did this.

From Fox2Now:

Family members plotted to have a six-year-old boy kidnapped to teach him a lesson on stranger danger because he was "too nice" to people, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies learned of a kidnapping in Troy on February 4.

Investigators learned that sometime before February 2, 38-year-old Denise Kroutil approached a co-worker, 23-year-old Nathan Firoved, and asked him to kidnap her nephew to "scare" him. The victim's mother, 25-year-old Elizabeth Hupp, and grandmother, 58-year-old Rose Brewer, agreed with the plan to kidnap the young boy to teach him a lesson.

Unbelievable.

The boy told school authorities about the incident on Wednesday. They contacted the Missouri Division of Family Services. The sheriff's office was called to the home and the boy was placed into protective custody.

The family told the investigators that they were only trying to educate the boy and felt they did nothing wrong.

That's mind-boggling. How could anyone think that mentally torturing a young child could be a good thing in ANY way? The only thing they taught this poor boy is that the people he likely trusted the most can't be trusted at all.

From USAToday:

Firoved, Kroutil and Rose Brewer, 58, the boy's grandmother, were charged with felony kidnapping, felonious restraint, and felony abuse and neglect of a child, the Sheriff's Office said. The victim's mother, Elizabeth Hupp, 25, of Troy was charged with felony kidnapping and felony abuse and neglect of a child. The four are being held at the Lincoln County Jail on $250,000 bond.

With family members like these, who needs enemies?
