Bail Set for Attempted Council Bluffs Kidnapping


http://www.omaha.com/article/20130130/NEWS/130139988/1689#-50-000-bail-set-in-attempted-abduction-near-bluffs-school

Earlier this week, a 19-year-old Council Bluffs attempted to abduct a 10-year-old fifth grader from a Council Bluffs school.

Nathan Busse allegedly approached the little girl on her walk home from school. 

When he attempted to grab her arm and force her to walk with him, she broke free and ran her father.  Busse attempted to run but was found by the girl’s father, who kept him for the police.

Police arrived and proceeded to arrest Busse on third-degree kidnapping, assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, enticing a minor and child stealing. 

Busse appeared before a judge, who set bail for $50,000 and set a preliminary hearing for February 7.

This whole story is sick and sad but the fact that this creep is allowed bail is especially troubling and upsetting to me.

In my opinion, Busse should not be allowed bail, especially at such a low amount, considering his offense.  Why would we set bail so low for someone who is out on the streets endangering our children?

Put yourself in the position of the girl’s father. 

Your child has just been assaulted and nearly kidnapped by a random stranger.  And now a day later this creep is walking the streets again.

What would you do if that were your child?  I know I would do everything in my power to make sure that person never walked the streets again.

  1. I don't think he can be put in prison because he didn't actually harm her or injure her, but I think he should given a higher bail, be put on probation, and given some way to rehabilitate him so he doesn't want to do this again, like therapy or something of the sort.
