12-Year-Old Baby Sitter Fights Off Naked Intruder In N.Y.
2006-11-01
You go, Girl.

A naked man wearing a mask broke into a home where a 12-year-old girl was baby-sitting her neighbors' children, ages 2 and 6.

Kent Town police said the children were watching television in a bedroom at around 11 p.m. Saturday when the baby sitter noticed a light go off in the living room.

A few seconds later the naked man, wearing a mask, jumped her, police said. The baby sitter was able to fight off the intruder by punching him in the face. When he ran out, she took the children to her family's upstairs apartment and her father called 911.

Officer Joe Peters responded within a minute and saw a stranger near the garage. He grabbed the suspect, who was now clothed, but the man slipped out of his jacket and took off.

The suspect, whom police identified as Rigoberto Perez, 33, fell into a stream and was arrested. Police said Perez was a homeless illegal alien from Guatemala. He was charged with burglary, assault, and unlawful imprisonment.

"She's very brave. Everyone should be proud of her," Kent Police Lt. Alex DiVernieri said of the baby sitter. "She was able to fend off her attacker and at the same time get the two kids she was responsible for to safety."

The baby sitter was treated for injuries to her neck and back.

#24   I propose that Karate become a required subject in every school in the United States, from grade 1 through 12. By the time the kids graduate, they should be high-level black belts. Not only would it give them the exercise they're not getting, it would give any punk with two firing brain cells cause for alarm. You'd never know what that scrawny kid walking down the street could do to you...

OP, you fail to mention how most parents would manage to survive such a program.

And your comment would be, had Rigoberto Perez been successful?

Like I said, I am tired of idiots. Buh-bye.

#20  49Pan,

NYC ≠ NY State. Lake Carmel is in Putnam County, North of Westchester County. It's about 60 miles North of the City.

#19  Sounds like she's got that mama bear thing down pat - definitely a hero in my book. Imagine how she'll defend any kids she has in the future.

#1  Who knows what might have befallen the children if this brave girl hadn't duked out her assailant. Let's hope the kids' parents kick down a significant bonus for performance above and beyond the call of duty.
