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.

Feels like they glossed over some extremely important information there.

Better title is “man not allowed at house found at house he’s not allowed at”

He is charged with aggravated kidnapping. Possibly why there’s a protection order against him? Definitely a lot of information missing.

Yea, the article doesn’t even mention anything which could be considered kidnapping in my understanding. It really makes it sound like a domestic dispute to me, but it wouldn’t be as sensational an article if they said it was the child’s father. But, we can’t possibly know from what was included.

From checking other sources, it seems that it was the police who refused to elaborate further regarding his relationship with the victims.

Note to others: the title is not clickbait. It’s exactly as weird as it sounds. What the fuck.

So is the babysitter. I’m a 36 year old man. I would be scarred for life also.

So I’m 34

No joke

I put the box spring right on the floor. My kid can’t worry. I can’t worry.

Because if there was a dude under the bed or even a creepy crawly I would probably scream like a little girl.

Kid: There’s a monster under my bed.

Lady: There isn’t.

Kid: Check please.

Lady: Ok… screams in terror

I would totally do that even if there was nothing there.

I had about 5 minutes where I was convinced this was an Onion article…
