She says six other children were playing with her son and the girl when the man approached them at the Clifton Glen Apartments on Hambrick Road Friday.
“He turned around to run, and when he turned around to look for her, she wasn’t there,” the mother said.
The girl was later dropped off a half mile away at a Value Mall on Memorial Drive. She was found wandering in the parking lot. %

“I really want the guys in that neighborhood to break his ******* neck. You don’t deserve to be walking the streets like that,” the mother said about the abductor.
She said that since Friday, the streets in the neighborhood have been quiet.
“It sent panic, shock through the neighborhood. I grabbed all my kids and started hugging and kissing them,” she said.
She’s been to visit the girl and says she is doing much better.
“They said she was very terrified but now that she is around family, she sees everybody worried about her and cares about her (and) she's had a big smile on her face,” the mother said.
