Camera phone used as crime-stopper :D

The teen, who was not identified, told the man to leave him alone, but the would-be abductor continued to follow him until the boy pulled out his cell phone and began snapping photos. At that point the man jumped out of the vehicle and grabbed the youth by the arm, police said.
?A struggle ensued and the boy was able to pull away and run,? said Rowan, who praised the teen for having the ?presence of mind to use the technology under duress.?

As soon as this kid is of legal age, I want to buy him a :beer: for being smart and not panicking in a bad situation! :)

So instead of getting away from the pervo/slime/rapist/killer from the start, the kid fiddles with his phone gets grabbed by the guy and is lucky to break free

Well it turned out ok. If he hadn't took pics of that guy, he could have very easily found some other young kid to kidnap and sexually assault

And to just think that there are people crusing around the streets right now this very second. Sickens me.
