One of the male was on a scooter. Tom 2, it's going to be your victim that's most likely on the scooter, and the scooter is out there. We'll rescue them. Thank you. Alright, from what we're looking at, it looks like our shooter made it on that scooter. So, just do us a favor. Treat that as a crime scene. Try not to get everybody's fingerprints all over it.

Teach your children about Jesus and His WAY…monitor their friends and where they go. Give them a safe loving home to come to and an environment to thrive. If Philly isn’t it than MOVE! Do what you have to do to keep your children safe. THEY WANT YOUR CHILDREN!!!! Wake up!
