Wild story hwow:
Considering how many times we've had (often tweens/teens) voluntarily leave through a window, and other kids of various ages lured or taken/assisted/yanked out, this is quite a story!
It happened shortly after 7 pm, and the version I heard on TV said the family members heard the commotion and that's what prompted them to check the room, see the screen missing and go running out after the guy and the little girl.
Definitely seems to be a no-connection stranger abduction attempt. Every article and report I've heard has strongly stated no connection.
In one instance they said the suspect turned to the uncle - who caught him first, the dad knocked him over after to try to keep him there once they had the little girl - and said he was just trying to "return her":facepalm: (Sure dude)

This article gives the kidnapper's name:

I can't help but smile that the uncle's name is Jesus.
Yes, I speak Spanish and know it's not said Jesus, but really, so rare to see something like this end virtually before it could start and that Jesus rescued the child
Seriously brazen dude to have attempted to abduct a child that (relatively) early in the evening in a home where you surely can tell other people are up and about. I'm curious to see how he justifies it.
So glad to have a happy ending story that could easily have gone very bad very quickly!

Authorities say a man was arrested Thursday night after a 3-year-old girl in Newhall was taken from a bedroom.

“A male adult allegedly grabbed ahold of a 3-year-old female by reaching through a bedroom window at the female’s residence,” deputies said in the statement.
It happened shortly after 7 pm, and the version I heard on TV said the family members heard the commotion and that's what prompted them to check the room, see the screen missing and go running out after the guy and the little girl.
Family members chased the man and got back the girl, who was unharmed, according to deputies.
When authorities arrived, they had to chase the man down the street but were able to detain and arrest him.
Investigators said there is no relation between the man and the child.
