A Utah woman was charged after the authorities said she forcibly took an 11-year-old boy from a neighborhood street and brought him to her home over an alleged bullying dispute involving her children.
According to court documents obtained by local media, the incident occurred in September 2025 in a Provo neighborhood. Investigators said the woman had been driving through the area looking for the boy, who she believed had been bullying one of her children.
The affidavit stated that the woman allegedly located the boy while he was riding his bike, blocked his path with her vehicle, and made him get inside. The boy was then allegedly taken to her home without permission from his parents.
