Girl rescued after police chase
A three-year-old girl who had allegedly been kidnapped from her home in South Wales has been rescued after a police chase in the early hours of Tuesday.
A police spokesman said a 26-year-old man from South Wales was arrested after his Escort crashed on the A4 between Hungerford and Marlborough.

The man was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and driving with excess alcohol.

The child was taken by helicopter to Swindon's Great Western Hospital where she was treated for minor injuries.

She has now been reunited with her parents.

'Failed to stop'

Police say they first spotted a grey Ford Escort in Swindon where it drove through a red light at the Blagrove roundabout.

Officers pursued the car along the M4 for about four miles where it left at junction 15 before heading for 10 miles down the A4 towards Hungerford where it crashed.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw a grey L-registration Ford Escort Ghia driving along the M4 eastbound, or in west Swindon around junction 16, late last night or shortly after midnight, to contact them.

The man has now been handed over to South Wales Police. "

Seems like it was just chance that she was found. So glad she is safe.

It is all so sick and horrid.We had an inmate a few years ago that had abuses his 18mo and his 3yo children, as had the grandfather. It beggars belief. They should be stopped from every having any contact with children ever again, and from ever having any form of sex again.

hulababy- are they kept seperated from other prisoners in your prison?

i can remember that the prison that my brother was in (long story) they were kept seperate and had seperate visiting days etc.

I dont know how you could keep your cool with them, Id be enraged everytime i came face to face with one.

Just saw the latest in the papers - one of the 3 men used to BABYSIT the little girl...

Just read on Wanadoo, the guy is 24 and they have named him!

Aparently, the aim was to lure her teenage brother into the car and then he ran upstairs when he saw them (didn't say anything!?)... Then they drove around trying to get girls from the street into the car and when they refused, they went back to the original house and lured the little girl... Planned all the way.

where did you read this mrs wood?

im amazed that someone allows their children to be looked after by someone who lives in a halfway house for offenders. call me judgemental but there must be better offers of babysitters out there.

older brother scenario sounds a bit odd?

Good grief, every other post on this subject seems to be trying to blame everyone else for what these sick twats did.

It wasn't her teenage brother's fault, he didn't do it! It wasn't her mothers fault, she was still in the house!

the only thing that 'seems odd' about this entire scenario is that the perverts have been caught and they aren't dead yet. they should be!

Daily Mirror - don't know how trustworthy that would be, but so far they've been right...

"the only thing that 'seems odd' about this entire scenario is that the perverts have been caught and they aren't dead yet. they should be!"

Absolutely!

I didnt blame her mother or brother.

Guess that won't be a "safe house" for ex-prisoners any more. I'm sure the identities of the others will be known within the local community and there may well be repercussions.

there is a special place in hell ...

it was on the welsh news, the guy was 24 and named craig sweeney. nothing was said about his previous convictions YET, but im sure it will all come out in the wash. he was living in a halfway house for ex prisoners, so im guessing the rest of the scumbags in that house were paedophiles too. im not sure if the other 2 men interviewed by police were living there too.
it makes me sick as i have a 3 yr old DD. that poor little girl.

tiredemma - no, not separate here, but we normally only get the adult ones towards the end of their sentence. The younger ones are here too, but they try and keep it secret and they spent time in and out of the seg wards - for their own protection when others find out.

On the whole, esp the adults, they are generally kept seperate at first. It is later before release when they try the reintigration stuff. Once it comes out, their life is generally hell in prison from what I hear.

Happymum - I read that it was only the 26yo that was int he car and that the other 2 were arrested seperately from him.

tiredemma - forgot to add. I dn't generally discuss their crimes with them. I often try not to read what their crimes were before seeing them, unless there is a reason for me to do so (a security notice warning me about my safety, etc.) If they do try and bring something up, if something of this nature, I would ask them to stop and say it was not necessary to discuss it for my work. If they persistent I would tell them to stop or I will leave the room, and I would do.

But I hear most of it, and their past, during sentence planning meetings with the offices where more detail is one into. It is difficult to make decisions about people like that - that is why no one person alone makes any decisions - it is a joint decision made.

From what I have read (they vcovered it extensively here, as I said earlier if I left here and walked 10 mnutes I'd be outside the house) they lived together in a half-way house, one of the men knew the family but the two who were released (and the one of them that knew the family) weren't in the car: indeed, they were arrested before the car was stopped.

The house was located near a fairly large school and a popular nursery.

Of course, the press here isn't necessarily right about the story. Definitely know where the house is though now.

Hard to know what they can do in these cases isn't it? Fully aware that once they've done their sentences they have to go somewhere, but have worked with some of their (paedophiles in general) victims in the past too, who don't get to walk away. Do think, however, that this was a particularly inapropriate location, due to kids walking past in both directions for school / nursery / hanging out at the nearby shops at lunchtime (which they do in droves)

The whole thing is sick - hopefully the little girl and her family will get all the help they need to move on. I thought it was heartbreaking that the little girl refuses to go home.

I am now personally in favour of the death penalty for people who commit crimes like this. It would cost too much to lock them away for ever (and why should we pay it?) and they are not safe anywhere. The majority of them DON'T reform.

isnt it sad to think that these paedophiles get looked after and protected in and out of prison but the victim doesnt. these human rights people actually feel sorry for paedophiles because they are not accepted in the community when they are so called rehabilitated. as someone posted, the majority of these pervs will never be rehabilitated and the prisons in this country are so overcrowed, they end up back in our communities housed near schools and playgrounds etc.
in america, australia, canada, NZ etc, they take no nonsense when it comes to paedos. they go down for years and years. some never come out.
i bet he will go down for about 5 years and be out after 3 (supposedly rehabilited) and re offend within a year. things will only get serious for paedos if they murder a child. isnt it sad we have to wait for that to happen.
