Boy's 911 Call After Attempted Glendale Kidnapping Released

The 8-year-old boy is being called a hero for stopping a suspected kidnapper from snatching his 3-year-old brother from his mother's arms.

Last week the boy called 911 when Lisa Arnold, 52, allegedly tried to kidnap his brother right in front of John Marshall Elementary School in Glendale in broad daylight.

A security camera captured the struggle he and his mother put up against the woman. Minutes later, he calmly told the 911 dispatcher what happened.

"She said you have a beautiful kid… she was trying to get the baby out of our hands," the boy told 911.

Although the big brother knows the suspected kidnapper is in jail, he is still scared and told me he's worried she might come back for his entire family.
