Family Charged in Fake Kidnap Plot to Scare 'Too Nice' Child

This is sick


A 6-year-old Missouri boy was led to believe he'd been kidnapped, shown a gun, and threatened with being sold into "sex slavery" — and it was all part of an alleged plot to teach the boy a lesson because he was "too nice" to strangers, authorities said.

Deputies from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday first questioned the boy's aunt, mother, grandmother and a 23-year-old man for their alleged roles in child's four-hour ordeal on Monday, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office said the boy's aunt, Denise Kroutil, 38, enlisted the help of a co-worker, Nathan Wynn Firoved, 23, to stage a kidnapping to scare the child, and that the boy's mother, Elizabeth Hupp, 25, and grandmother, Rose Brewer, 58, agreed with the scheme.

Too nice means he is seeking the acceptance his family is unable to provide, IMHO. nt Malraiders Feb 2015 #5
