Tenn. boy, 10, says he escaped from kidnapper who threw him in car trunk

A Tennessee sheriff’s office is investigating after a 10-year-old boy and his mother say he was abducted from in front of his grandparents’ home but managed to escape.

Keniya Love and her 10-year-old son Elijah say the boy was abducted late Monday afternoon from in front of his grandparents’ home in East Brainerd, Tennessee. The boy told his mother that someone pulled up in an SUV, grabbed him and threw him in the trunk.

The Loves say when the SUV pulled over at a gas station, Elijah pulled the lever from inside the trunk and got out. The boy says the kidnapper grabbed him and threw him back in the trunk. The boy pulled the lever again and, that time, managed to get away by hiding behind some bushes.

Love says she taught her son that escape technique when he was young.

“That lever - that yellow thing that dangles inside the trunk - the reason why there’s a picture of a trunk and three dots and then a person who looks like they’re running, that’s just in case somebody takes you. You pull it, take off running and don’t even look back,” Love said.

Love says she was at work when she got a call about the incident from her parents. Elijah had been found and picked up by his grandfather miles away from the house after having been missing for about 30 minutes.

“Where he was found was about 20, 15, minutes away from the house,” she said. “How could it go through someone’s head to do this?”

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident. By the time deputies arrived, Elijah had returned home and was safe.

Yeah hell, smart move on that mom (regardless of anything else)!

but well ... unless the whole event is made up. Still good thing to teach your kid but just saying.

So maybe atm there is no independent evidence other than the report.

The vehicle reportedly used in the abduction is black and was driven by a white male.

It feels very uncommon to me. I wonder if the whole thing is made up. But not saying it is. That is what police investigations are for.

Wondering (among other things) if the kid got home late and he made that up.

Ditto! Sorry, but anyone buying that story-I’ve got a bridge for sale.
What kind of dumbass kidnapper snatches a kid without enough gas in the car to get more than 10 miles before having to stop. And then what-he’s sitting there pumping gas into his SUV/Sedan with a trunk when the kid pops out and makes a run for it. He somehow grabs him back and tosses him back in same trunk taking no precautions being that kid literally just left the exact same trunk.
Then what? He went back to pumping his gas and Houdini escapes again? This time managing to foil the brilliant but evil child snatcher by cleverly hiding in one of the many bushes landscaping the gas pumps.
And instead of calling 911 his grandfather is called? Who called him? Why wouldn’t they stay at the scene of the crime? Was there no one at, near or working at the gas station that found this little Jack-in-the-box scenario disturbing?
But, hey after 2020, who knows.

Yes, all of that, plus in USA gas stations are apparently so abandoned that nobody would have noticed and been like WTF at a white guy chasing a black kid and stuffing him in the back of an SUV.

Also

fat kidz hard to hide in bushes

fat kidz hard to kidnap

If lying, kinda interesting that he chose to blame a white guy. In that event, it would be that in his 10-year-old mind it was the right choice for him to depict a bad guy. White liars have been known to blame non-existent black men. Interesting overall.

Its up to cops, not me, to determine veracity, but, just saying.
