A babysitter in Kansas experienced a terrifying ordeal when a child’s complaint about a “monster” under the bed turned out to be all too real.
The incident occurred late Monday night in a home near Great Bend, Kansas. While trying to reassure the child that nothing was under the bed, the babysitter was horrified to come face-to-face with a man hiding beneath it.
An altercation broke out, during which one of the children was knocked over. The suspect managed to flee the scene but was arrested the following morning after leading authorities on a brief foot chase.
The 27-year-old suspect was previously ordered to stay away from the residence under a protection from abuse order. Despite this, he returned and now faces multiple charges, including:
- Aggravated kidnapping
- Aggravated burglary
- Aggravated battery
- Child endangerment
- Felony obstruction of law enforcement
- Violation of a protection order
The suspect is currently being held in county jail on a $500,000 bond. Authorities responded to the home around 10:30 PM Monday after the babysitter called for help.
The incident has raised concerns about safety and domestic abuse enforcement. Fortunately, no severe injuries were reported, but the situation could have been much worse.
Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The case remains under investigation.
