PEÑITAS | ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING

An illegal immigrant couple who allegedly attempted to kidnap three children appeared in court Friday.

Honduran national Martha Amalia Gomez, 36, and Mexican national Jose Valera, 41, told police they stopped the children as they got off the school bus Thursday afternoon on Tom Gill Road to simply ask for directions.

Police, however, said the couple motioned for the children to get in their car before the children's mother came out of the house. The couple then fled about 4:15 p.m., said Peñitas police Officer Emily Melendez.

Later that day, someone saw a report about the incident on the TV news, called police and led them to the corner of Farm-to-Market Road 1427 and Maribel Road where the couple was found. Police brought them in for questioning and then officially arrested them that night.

They were charged with criminal intent kidnapping and each received a bond of $40,000, Melendez said. ____

Monitor reporter Sean Gaffney compiled this report.

Kidnapping is a career-choice for many Mexicans and Central Americans.

With all these new “immigrants,” we should be celebrating our criminal diversity.

They’re just committing crimes that Americans won’t commit.

I do not understand what part of "BUILD THE FENCE" that Congress doesn't understand.

Of course, I sent every Senator an email with two words and few listened to me then. The words? "No Pork."

This country is in for crime wave they have never seen before. This country is allowing a third world culture to invade our land that is extremely violent. Just wait until the police, judges, and politicians are either bought off or threatened with violence.

I think you’re right. We are going to have a low-grade civil war on our hands.

Kind of ironic, considering that American visitors to Latin American countries are often viewed with fear and suspicion as potential baby-snatchers...

You are right, and it is happening already. The problem is when the rest of the country wakes up it will be tough to take our country back from the criminal element we welcomed in with open arms.
