Like many people say things aren’t adding up. #1 – Now days at 13 most kids realize if you get help in a situation like this he would be arrested and wouldn’t be able to kill anyone. #2 – Why didn’t the father just separate his children by putting one in the front seat and one in the back if possible. #3 – If it was only 2 minutes before dad turned around how did this guy have time to talk, follow then stop to grab her and put her in the back seat before dad came back.
Sounds to me dad isn’t being truthful, daughter isn’t being truthful but Ole Ronald Gene Joyner needs to be sitting in jail. Maybe talk to the son and investigate more, see if the truth comes out.

The Dad needs to go to prison for Child Endangerment – He does not deserve custody of his poor Children.

I can NOT believe anyone is blaming the dad for this! Seriously, the kidnapper is the guilty party here. Unless there’s something we aren’t being told, my mom put me and my brother out of the car to walk when I was an unruly 12 year old. The kid is 13, she was probably needing correction, dad was likely frustrated and yes, probably not the best punishment, but come on, really. The dad and the daughter are victims on this. The sick psychopath that kidnapped her is the problem. These predators clearly drive around looking for kids to take, clearly, and there should be much harsher punishment for these sick twisted monsters! I bet if there was swift justice then we would see a lot less of this crap! We as a society should be appalled by the lack of sanctity of children, no matter what the age!

I AGREE WITH THE LOCAL MAN, if you start when your children are very young, teaching them right from wrong AND letting them KNOW what is RIGHT AND WHAT IS ARONG, I am sure you’ll have less trouble with them. Folks today DO NOT DISCIPLINE their children like parents did years ago. I’m glad the girl did NOT get hurt and MOLESTED!

For those comparing the bond difference: one was ARMED kidnapping and the other not. The armed kidnappers bail was increased by the judge which is allowed. The second bond was the highest bond allowed in the first circuit by the arresting officer. The judge can up that one as well if he chooses.

Being armed does increase the level of the offense.

Something sounds off with this whole story.
I can almost understand dad getting frustrated with the teen and desperate to get her attention by doing something drastic. Most likely needs @$$ whippings that kids don’t get anymore. In part bc the parent can get into deep legal do-do if we spank a kid. Then we as parents have to deal with the growing misbehavior as the kids figure out that they can likely get away with anything, bc of no repriccution.
But they went to Walmart? And Several other stores or gas stations, and she could not get help? SMH
There has got to be something not being told .. Or more to the story..
And I’m still thinking if the kids were disciplined at home, from an early age. This would never happen. Dad don’t need to go to jail. But he seriously needs to run a tighter ship. I’m not gonna put my child out of the car unless I’m out with her , plucking a switch!! I have done this. I switch her tail and back in the car she goes..Sorry not sorry .

I am with Fredtp. Too many details in this story for it to be real. Something else is going on. Maybe that is why the bail is so low? I could also listen to too many murder podcasts…

As a parent, I know what it’s like when kids won’t behave. I, too, have made my child get out of the car and walk. However, I NEVER left them. I just made them walk beside the car for a bit until they calmed down and it wasn’t a main road.

Only the good Lord and the devil know what is going on behind those eyes.

That is not derogatory, that is simply the way it is.
