A babysitter in Kansas found a troubling surprise after a child she was watching complained there was a “monster” hiding.
The babysitter found a man hiding under a child’s bed after they attempted to show the children there was nothing under there, the Barton County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Wednesday.
“She came face-to-face with a male suspect who was hiding there,” the sheriff’s office said.
…
The following day, deputies spotted the man while they were in the area looking for the suspect. He ran and after a short pursuit, deputies caught him.
Martin Villalobos Jr., 27, was arrested and booked into the Barton County Jail on multiple charges, including aggravated kidnapping and child endangerment. The sheriff’s office said Villalobos is being held on a $500,000 bond.
Villalobos once lived on the property, the sheriff’s office said. There was a current protection order issued against him to stay away from the property.

I just can’t believe this wasn’t Florida.
What kidnapping? What endangerment?
Violating an existing protective order to trespass doesn’t seem endangering to you?
That’s a different word. Tresspassinng, and breaking a restraining order maybe. Or assault or something
He may have had previous charges for kidnapping and child endangerment, and took a plea to get the charges reduced. Then under his conditions of the plea, if he violates the restraining order he gets re-charged with those, and no option to plea out. I’ve seen stuff like that happen to lots of folks.
That’d be my best guess, but I could be wrong.
You think he was just having a laugh by hiding under the kids bed when their parents weren’t home?
You don’t consider a stranger under a child’s bed a danger? I sure do.
Reminds me of the really good short film “Tuck me in” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNQIdEv-Emo
