GIRLS ROCK!
********
Three 11-year-old girls in Kent, Washington, were hailed as heroes after they thwarted the attempted kidnapping of their 6-year-old neighbor, police said.
In a statement Wednesday, Kent police detailed getting a 911 call from a witness who saw a man attempt to take a young child. After the witness described the man, officers arrived and chased the man down.
After the man was detained, three 11-year-old girls told police that they were walking toward an ice cream truck when they noticed their 6-year-old neighbor being held by an unknown man, who was gripping her wrist. The child looked afraid and was telling the man to let her go, police said.
The girls began recording on their phones and approached the man. He picked up the child and tried to walk away, but the girls intercepted him and asked whether he knew the girl. He claimed he did, but the little girl shook her head in denial. The man then put her down and fled, while the three girls escorted the child safely back to her apartment.
