Would be kidnapper foiled by parents--- Faith Cleaver, P4

Five year old Lainey Holladay can credit her safety to her mother knowing her so well. At 4:07 am in a quiet suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah, Lainey's mother, Stephanie says that she she was confused when she woke up because, “I remember thinking, 'I’m not tired. I’m awake. This is weird.' And I was fully, mentally alert." Holladay says that she heard her daughters voice in the hallway beside the bedroom she and her husband shared. Red flags didn't go up until she heard the footsteps that accompanied her voice. Holladay stated in an interview that her daughter has a minor disability which causes her to walk differently than you and I. "I didn't hear that." she explained.
    It is at this moment that Stephanie knows something is wrong and she frantically wakes her husband. They run to her room to see that she isn't in there before hearing the front door close. When they go outside, they are met with the sight of a man that neither of them recognize holding their daughter. Aaron Edson, Stephanie's husband and Lainey's stepfather, explained in an interview that upon finding the man he began to give the parents a story as to why he needed their daughter. Edson describes the story that he was given and it almost sounds like the plot to a crime or mob movie. “He gave a story that he was in trouble and that if he had her with him that they wouldn’t kill him. He kept repeating this story, that he needed to get to a church and that, as long as she was with him, he would be safe." Edson recalled.
   The parents, remaining calm as best they could told the kidnapper that they wanted to help but they couldn't hand over their daughter to him. Edson then proceeded to hold out his arms to the man who peacefully handed Lainey back over to them. When Edson described the incident he said that "No voices were raised." Holladay came outside to find her husband standing eerily still and when he turned around she said the look in his eye was "Terrified." She quickly took her daughter and ran back inside the house to call 911. In the call you hear a clearly panicked Holladay as she tells the police the situation and that the man has run off down the street.
   Moments later police find Troy Morley hiding in the basement of a nearby home. He has been taken into custody and is now awaiting his trial. Lainey was reported to be alright and Stephanie said that when she was brought back inside “She was like, ‘Hi Mommy. I get to stay up until morning,’” The close call experienced by these parents is being described as a miracle by some and a testament to a mother's intuition.
    I wrote about this because in this day and age there is a misconception amongst certain people who believe that because they live in the "Good neighborhood," They don't need to be as careful in their homes. Morley gained access to Lainey through an unlocked door. He then crossed through two rooms,  (I repeat TWO! As in he walked through their house as if it were his!) before reaching Lainey. He also gained access to the house he was found hiding in through an unlocked basement door. in every news report their neighborhood is described as nice, quiet, or a suburb. They also describe their home in a similar manner. This may not have much to do with APUSH but it has a lot to do with America socially. Many people have this idea that there are those who live in a "Bad" neighborhood, where they have three locks on each door and an alarm system with a blaring siren. Then there are those in the "Nice," neighborhood, where the residents feel that because of their calm and peacful surroundings they can afford to be more relaxed which sadly in this modern America, is not the case.
