Babysitter prevents kidnap of Jerusalem children by their father
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Babysitter

A babysitter prevented the kidnap of her two Jerusalem charges by their father on Wednesday, just before the three were set to board a plane to the United States.

The father reportedly planned the kidnap after he learned last week that his ex-wife was set to travel to Moscow. Following her departure, he established contact with his children, bought the plane tickets and hired his friend to drive them to the airport.

What he wasn't expecting was that the children's babysitter would stand in his way.
