Caught on camera: Man takes off with toddler, siblings help save him

SPRAGUE, Wash. -- Deputies are hoping surveillance camera footage will help them catch a man who attempted to kidnap at 22-month-old child from a park in eastern Washington state.

The footage from a grocery store in the small town of Sprague captured the suspect running off with little Owen Wright in his arms.

Just seconds later, the footage shows the toddler's older sister chasing after him, followed close behind by his brother who is shown pushing an empty stroller.

"I can't explain the feeling, the anxiety and everything that goes into finding out that your child is missing or something has happened to them," said Owen's father, Michael Wright. He said his children were with a babysitter Sunday, who let them play at a park unsupervised.

That's when authorities said the suspect scooped little Owen up out of his stroller and took off. His sister screamed as she gave chase, alerting passersby - including two teenage boys who joined the pursuit.

"I don't consider myself a hero. I just consider myself a person doing the right thing," said Isaac Yow, who helped chase the suspect.

The suspect ended up dropping off Owen in a vacant lot before fleeing.

"I told that little girl, I said, 'Honey, you did exactly what you needed to do. Scream your head off.' That's what saved that baby. Her screaming and us running," said witness Dorothy Giddings.

Deputies are following up on leads. The surveillance video is helping them paint a clear description of the suspect.

Owen, who was not injured during the incident, is now back home safe with his family after the terrifying ordeal that could have been much worse if not for his quick-thinking siblings.
