A 17-year-old mall employee named Jazmine is being hailed as a hero after preventing an alleged kidnapping attempt at Mission Valley Mall in California. Working at the bounce house as a summer job, Jazmine intervened when a 42-year-old man tried to abduct a 5-year-old girl. She heard screams, rushed out, and successfully stopped the abduction by grabbing the girl and comforting her along with her siblings. The girl’s mother, Amanda Hartwell, expressed immense gratitude and visited Jazmine with a gift, feeling overwhelmed and relieved by her actions. The suspect, Rene Lujan, was arrested and faces two felony kidnapping charges, including another alleged incident at the same mall.
