Damn, that's scary. I hope they caught that guy. Most kidnappings are perpetrated by a family member.

Exactly this. At first I was wondering why someone would try something so brazen in the middle of the day, but to me it seemed likeliest that the kidnapper is probably the kid's dad and (I'm guessing) lost custody but tried to take the kid anyways.

I'd be curious to see if there's a story somewhere about this and what the truth actually is.
