Trigger warning kidnappings

I never usually scroll the newspapers online as I can't really handle a lot of anxiety inducing news.
But I just did and I immediately saw 2 videos of kidnappings on our streets.
One is from yesterday of a teenage girl in Swindon showing attempted kidnap of her whilst walking along the street.
One is from Sunday of a teenage girl showing an attempted kidnap in Ladypool road, Birmingham.
They are both real videos.
I am completely and utterly shell-shocked at what I have just watched and I'm now having a massive anxiety attack.
You can search the videos but there is a trigger warning - please don't watch if it might trigger you.
We need to know about this though. How are these two attacks not all over the national news??

Can you set your device to not auto-play videos? I'm so sorry you saw something so disturbing. I haven't seen so can't comment.

Edited to make sense.

Take care.

In both cases these were attempted abductions that were foiled when members of the public intervened. In both cases the perpetrators were very quickly arrested. There is a considerable period of time between the two - the Swindon perpetrator is already on trial. I'm not sure why you're trying to stir a panic over these.
