- Bodycam footage released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office captures the moment when deputies apprehended 37-year-old Kevin Smith, who has been charged with grand theft auto and two counts of felony kidnapping. The incident, which occurred on October 10 in Hillsborough County, Florida, began when Smith allegedly stole a truck that had been left running with two young children inside. The children's parents promptly reported the missing vehicle and children to law enforcement, initiating an urgent search. The video shows deputies swiftly locating the stolen truck and ensuring the safety of the children, who were found unharmed.

The bodycam footage serves as a powerful reminder of the risks involved in leaving children unattended in vehicles, even briefly. Law enforcement officials strongly advise parents and caregivers to remain cautious and always prioritize the well-being of their children to avoid similar situations. Kevin Smith now faces serious criminal charges in connection with the alleged theft of the vehicle and the kidnapping of the two children. If convicted, he may face significant penalties as prescribed by Florida state law. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the incident, and the case is expected to progress through the criminal justice system in the coming weeks.

Shout out to the kid for being so cool and collected, and stating clearly `This is not my Dad`.
Is it me or were those kids a little too calm and collected? I know as a kid I would be running out the door and going to the officer asap.
They were calm. But they are children so it’s hard to tell what what a child should be like since they are all different.
It was so great that he clearly told the officer, this isn’t my dad
@@alec57 Kids respond differently to situations, some freak out and others stay cool and collected
@@alec57 Some children freeze in shock, what do you even know about being scared.
Can you imagine the terror that father went through until he heard that his children were safe. Thanks you officer for rescuing those babies.
That’s why we should never defund the police. Good bless
Something about this doesn't seem right to me..could just be me but...the fact that both kids were not screaming or crying or even seemed scared and the weird response from the guy saying "it wasn't me" like some kind of plan that went wrong....weird vibes
@@sparkcruz3319 Remember, not ever kid responds the same. One kid could be yelling, another crying, and another calm. Think, if the kids are yelling or screaming, what would that man have done to shut them up. Best to stay calm until the right opportunity comes and then you can yell scream or whatever.
@@extraordinarybri2355 i get what you're saying but both are very young and we as adults understand this but kids that age typically do not...I'm just saying it feels off...not like the kids are off but like something shady may be going on..maybe the kids knew this scumbag or at least have seen him before somehow ...just a vibe ....
@@extraordinarybri2355 true true. That dude almost got me conspiring over here. But you also got me thinking, the man could have been consoling them and tricking them into thinking he was someone familiar too, they might have not even realized they were in danger until they saw police. Many possibilities.
Very brave kid to straight up say "He's not my dad" while the guy is looking him dead in the eye.
It's because the kid trusts the officer
There was an officer there, he knew nothing would happen once he saw that badge, so he spoke up.
@@chonkyd0nkey when I(male) was 16. I was giving my high school exams in my school,when i exited the building there was this creep standing staring at me. He told me i need to come sit in his car, because my father told him to pick me up. I was like wtf? I 30% believed him. But i saw my dads car in the distance waiting for me. I told the man no sorry, my dad didnt say that he has come to pick me up and i ran and sat in my dads car. If there was someone younger than me and much naive,he or she wouldve sat in the mans car and god knows what that man wouldve done to them.
ya well look at them. they look nothing alike lol
but ya smart kid. I think it helped that their real dad was near because he was chasing after them
if he was so smart why didnt he jump out?
Look at this guys eyes, he's heavily affected by drugs
Looks like he just got out of hospital. He's got a band on his wrist
@@ztaylor82 good looking out had no clue till your comment
A few decades in prison should cure his addiction.
@@Fullsendfilosophynobody cares if he gets cured. The point is keeping him away from the public
@@samhandwich466 Wouldn’t hurt my soul if he was never allowed in public again crimes against children should be treated with highest severity.
Imagine the panic the father must have felt seeing someone take his kids like that, thank god for the officer and his quick action.
I'm glad the kids are ok. But this video should be used as a lesson, do not leave your kids in the car even if it's a quick stop anywhere.
Screw the kids... he stole the truck
I know if someone takes my kids they’ll b returning them within 10 minutes. These lol brats got some lungs on them for sure
Father didn’t care about them enough to not leave them alone. What a loser of a father…poor kids
It sounds like he left them with the engine running.

I'm so glad the officer saved the day 🙌
That happened to me and my sister when i was 3 she was 4. A man jumped in our car , closed the driver door and looked everywhere for the keys, but mom had them with her in the store.. he then said “ oops wrong car” and got out. Mom didnt beleive us at all when we told her…

Gotta say those kids seemed really calm for being in a car with someone that wasn't their Dad. Much Respect to the little man for the immediate "This is not my Dad"
Gotta say this voice at 0:13 isn't a voice of calm its a voice of being terrified. But okay, guess they were calm.

@@lolz616 that sounds terrified to you💀?
@@Nandoswitharando It's not the movies, usually people go into what is called shock and are quiet and shaky/trembling in the voice. They don't scream and panic like in the fake drama movie scenes.
Check the wrist of the suspect.. he's wearing a hospital band.. probably on medication or not all together in the head.
Those kids were the chillest kids ever. So glad they’re safe
They wouldn’t be if they knew how close they were to a horrendous death
could just be shock. sometimes people are calm because they haven't processed a situation
@@johndurrer7869 the dude was probably just trying to steal the car. Either way dangerous for the kids but doesn’t sound like he wanted the kids. Freaking Florida man.
@@johndurrer7869 dude looked like a tweaker you never know but I'm willing to bet he didn't take the truck for the kids

This is the best outcome a parent can hope for. Great job, officer.
The best outcome is for the father to be held accountable for leaving such young kids and the keys in a car.
Seriously!
Yeah amen, no damage to the truck!
Great job, Officer. Thank you.
We still need to defund the police.
Vote Democrats!
The kid had 3 things to go on. His parents telling him about the police and that they help, him realizing that something is majorly wrong, and him putting it together to state "He's not my dad". Well done young one, well done indeed.
Their father left them in the car alone, so what a father, ha.
Never tell the cops anything EVER

Hopefully he won’t make the same mistake of leaving his kids in a vehicle unaccompanied. Almost as if he was asking for it
@@Gmez759 ah.. the ol' victim blame. Can never be to careful, but no on should even have to worry about stuff like this
@@Gmez759 It's ok to do what he did. But he should have told the kids to lock the car from inside. Maybe he has learned that now though...
@@benoverman1785 that's not victim blaming, it's just the truth hopefully the father won't do that again.
Leaving kids in a truck without anyone there is just plain irresponsible. The father isn't guilty for anything other than being a dunce.
@rlase maybe, maybe not. Go ask Schrodinger.
I'm glad the kids are safe and reunited with their families.
No the cops left the kids there... of course they were reunited with their dad. The cops even say the dad was chasing the truck and alerted the cops to the crime. Next time pay attention to the video.
They literally say at end the kids are returned to parents.

Watching this video gives me chills not only because of the situation itself, but because as a child, I was also on the verge of being kidnapped under similar circumstances. If it weren't for two adults who happened to be witnesses, I might not even be alive today.
❤🎉❤
If I was kidnapped as a kid, I probably wouldn't even know what was going on. Good on him.
haha sad
Wait.. what? How? Lol
Not me 😂 I would get out of the truck fast

You wouldn't know if a stranger hopped in your car and drove off?
Yo, that dad's ears were probably ringing so loud and the whole world was spinning around him. As a father, I can't really imagine what was going through his mind. So glad he got his kids back safe!
I'm asking, did the dad leave the kids in the car with the keys? Because what the fk.

It’s so scary to think what could have happened to these poor children if he wasn’t stopped, thank god for the cop and the children staying strong in a clearly terrifying situation
As a father of a 5-year old, this sends shivers down my spine.

Dont need kids to feel shivers about this.
Yea, you definelly should teach your kids how to call your phone, the address of your house and how to call the cops and describe situations in a way adults can understand.
The danger in the real world exists, and your kids dont live in the fantasy land.
The little boy who spoke up to the officer saying, “That’s not my dad!” is so brave! You never know what that man may have threatened that little boy with to stay quiet. Yet he spoke up anyways! 💜
🙄
@@larry3254 what? their just saying that something like that could have happend. no need to be a jerk about it 😐 all it does it make you look bad. ir does not make you cool.
Of course he would say some, the cops are there pulling him out of the car.
I hear ya comment , and he was brave don't get me wrong ... But children in general I would think have common sense to know when they are out of trouble to be able to speak up ... Like when that child saw the police officer with a Gun ( as far as we all know the kidnapper wasn't armed ) he knew the situation was under control , and didn't have to be scared anymore ... I give the child more credit of being brave , because him and his little brother weren't crying and freaking out instead they were as calm as that great officer .
@@SakuraGundamR34 They're*
One of my worst fears as a parent. What a brave little boy
Man
Don't leave your car unlocked with the keys inside and your kids inside, and it shouldn't happen to you.
I'm not a parent but yes I agree! I couldn't imagine that. And the kidnapper couldn't do anything because that officer would have wrecked his world if he laid hands on the kid. Glad there are sane cops that are out there doing what they sworn an oath to.
As for the commenter stated shouldn't of this and that. Me growing up we NEVER had to worry like this! My parents left their home and car doors unlocked always. It's the way society is changing that causes this and no fault to the father. Criminals get a slap on the wrist, and let go by the courts to repeat this.
My opinion anyone that tries something like this should be knocked out of the gene pool. Sorry not sorry. And your statement kind of inclined the defense of the kidnapper. So I'd say your maybe no better. Criminals like this and followers should be locked up because you thinking that way shows what kind of person you are.
same
@@tednaparala5374 it is different, if you know that right now it is unsafe to leave the car unlocked, especially with your kids inside and you are still doing it because of laziness, it is still parents fault
Imagine how many victims he’s had before them.
The kid is a credit to his father , what a brave and intelligent young child
yea being able to identify if someone is your father or not is so brave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Karashote well considering he is a very young kid staying calm and telling the cop that while in a highly stressful situation, yes, it is very brave of him.

You could tell by the tone of the officers voice he was going to do whatever was necessary to make sure those kids were safe. Mad respect for him.
This is taken extremely seriously, for many use of force protocols this is one of the few times lethal force is applied to a fleeing suspect. It is considered a matter of life and death for the kids.

Yes the boy is a hero even tho the cop was the one who a noticed b did something and c was the hero. The kid was brave. I believe that’s what you meant.

@@sA-ny2jl agreed. So weird and disgusting.
Omg horrifying to think what he would’ve done to them!!! Hopefully only wanted the truck but omg the potential horrific fate.
Thi gives me hope we have many good officers still out there every day after i became jaded with so many bad incidents. Kudos to this true hero cop.
"Great job on all parts"
Even the kidnapper?
Last time I checked, he got arrested.
Actually, that used to be the case years ago but now, about 57% of kidnapped children are returned home safely, around 40% are unfortunately killed by their abductors and the remaining cases are unsolved. Though every child abduction is a tragedy and I agree that convicted kidnappers should be unapologetically snuffed out regardless of whether their victims make it out alive, thanks to technology combined with improved investigation techniques, more than half of the kiddos do make it home. Apparently, finding them in the first 48-72hrs vastly improves the chances of a positive outcome so if you hear about a missing local kid and a request for volunteers to help search, all able-bodied people should honor that request.
OMG! Don’t leave kids in your car even for a second! Thank goodness for this officer’s diligence and kudos to the child for being so brave to say, that’s not my dad👍🏼
Oddly enough back in the late 1960's-early 1970's it was 'common place' for locals in my small suburban NJ town to leave their children sitting alone inside of cars while the mom's shopped in the supermarket or other stores. As a small child under 10 I was often left alone in a Ford convertible with the top open. I was told don't open the door or get out & don't talk to strangers. Thankfully nothing happened to me, not a lot of crime back then in that town.
@@Earthy-Artistactually this is still a thing that happens, my parents used to do it when I was smaller too but that wasn't very long ago at all, and as far as I know it's still commonplace in many neighborhoods

That these children were found alive and safe so quickly is fortunate and incredible. I wish more cases turned out like this. So happy that deputy was so alert, quick and assertive. ❤️🤗
That guy was showing signs of extreme mental disorders. He wasn't at all rational. Those kids may have been in serious danger even though that guy may or may not have a violent history. That dude needs serious treatment and rehabilitation away from society for a bit. Unfortunately, he may just end up in and out of jail. Just, guessing here. I don't know the guy's history.
1st the perp escaped from a sheriff patroled mental faculty, hes still wearing the scrubs and medical id bracelet. 2nd the actual father abandoned and surrendered his kids while running away and screaming. 3rd if the escapee were to do anything to the kids the Sheriffs office was already gonna have to pay out. Lastly This deputy, who spends his days handing out supplemental tax requests, is under zero legal obligation to Act. According to the supreme court on multiple occasions LEOs can lefally watch you be murdered in the street and choose not to act and its legal. Were we able to hear all the radio chatter from that day, i would be willing to bet the She4iff put out a call himself. Because you know optics.
@@xunheilvsnipezx3324 Ah. That explains why the guy is acting so strange. When I meet people that far gone, I wonder if there's any hope for them at all.

And then you would be critical of the officer using unnecessary force.
The police officer must uphold the law. His obligation is to put the suspect under arrest, read him his rights and take him to jail. The fate of the suspect is someone else’s responsibility.
The cop probably didn’t want to escalate things while the suspect was still in the car with the children.

I'm not a cop supporter. But I do know that we have to have them. If they would just stick to doing things like this. Apprehending actual bad guys, I'd throw my support behind them 💯%
The only problem is, that this same cop who saved these kids that day, may very well turn around and choke a guy to death for selling single cigarettes from a pack the next day. If there were ever a situation in which you could understand or maybe even overlook a cop using excessive force, it would be this type of thing. Unfortunately, the people who tend to suffer for the cops frustration somehow always seem to be the least deserving.
@@dex2591 You’re a buzzkill man. You want to throw out your bias and not give credit where it’s due. The father foolishly left his kids in the car alone with the keys still in. The cop saved his children from a potentially dangerous situation for them.

Wow, can’t even imagine what the father was goin through during this.
Seriously, if this scumbag was going for gta at the Very least he could have done was to let the kids go first.
The father has punished himself enough I'm sure. He will probably never quite be able to fully forgive himself. That's my opinion. If he's married, well who knows what his spouse will do. If he is divorced, he will probably get put through the ringer

Would you have left the keys in the ignition with your kids in the car?
Kids do understand this. They are so switched on he immediately said that's not our dad as someone that has kids they definitely new what was happening kids are smarter then majority of adults. That father's heart would of sank and he would of ran and ran and ran all day long until he found them.

For real. If that had been me there’d have been no words, just blubbering. Hopefully that would have been enough lol
You probably need to get out more
@Doves It's probably because kids almost always don't understand the outcome that follows being kidnapped. They don't fully understand that this event could have directly lead to them being killed or even worse.
Even if their parents teach them "don't talk to strangers, don't go with anyone", it's usually a rule that they don't fully understand and only follow because their parents told them to.
@Doves kids don’t go around thinking they’re going to be r@ped or murdered. That’s not something they think about or even realize until much later. They’re not out there listening to these horrific cases.
And kids usually think they can get out of every situation easily. They overestimate themselves. He probably thought he’d get away from this guy, or a cop (example A) would get them, or that he would fight him off himself.
@Doves Kids usually only react negatively to that if the kidnapper is actively acting in a way that would scare children even if they weren't kidnapped (i.e. yelling, threatening, or using physical force). The man in this situation seemed to have a very normal demeanour, thus wouldn't provoke that reaction in children.
Again, I think the vast majority of children wouldn't react in a negative way. Most of the kids you see distraught and crying so soon after that sort of event are doing so because the kidnapper yelled at and threatened the kid(s). Again, children cannot comprehend these sorts of extreme and long-term consequences, and they especially cannot comprehend the idea that human beings just go around murdering each other for fun. Could a child EVENTUALLY come to the conclusion that they won't see their family again? Yeah, probably. But that isn't some immediate realization as it is for adults when this sort of thing happens. As an adult, if someone you don't know and weren't expecting gets into your car, your IMMEDIATE thought is "this person is going to kill me". For children, it can take hours or days of processing to understand the sort of gravity of the situation.
Thank God the kids said “that’s not my dad”. And thank God the officer was able to help them!
Thank God he found them so quickly. This could have turned out really bad.

@@anondimwit you just choose to ignore your blessings my brotha 🍪
This is how I felt about all police officers when I was a child. I had implicit faith in their ability to protect us. I realize that all professions have their bad apples, but the vast majority of police officers went into their profession to be able to do the work this brave officer did in this case on that day. Their work has profound and lasting value.
Cops only job is to enforce the law. They're neither good nor bad. They're a tool of society. If the politicians are rotten, the cops will be rotten. And since politicians ARE rotten, then cops are most likely to be rotten. Just because the law catches criminals alongside with ruining innocent people's lives, it shouldn't mean you should ignore the latter. Because a cop is statistically less likely to help you and more likely to be a burden in your life.
Hear, hear 👍
99.99% of police officers are absolutely incredible.
Actually bad cops are bad, yes, but good cops who turn their heads when the bad cop does bad things is worse. They are worse because all of us trust the good cops to step in and stop the bad cops from ruining people’s lives. When they don’t.....
Can you imagine having no police force to call for help in ANY crisis?!?!
it's crazy bc the dude almost looks at him like "cmon dude dont do this to me just let me take the truck"
Gotta love brave smart kids that aren't afraid to stand up and speak out.
I can’t imagine the sheer terror that dad must have felt. I’m so glad quick police work got those children back safely and what a brave little man speaking so calmly I can’t imagine many grown ups would be that calm let alone a child.
And the supreme court said cops have no obligation to protect anyone. But the cop still insisted in save him
Why were the kids left alone in the truck/unlocked?…
@@timm710 Simple, A lot of people don't ever expect that to happen to them. I do wish people would be more careful.
@@timm710 if it was a video of a kid locked in a car on a summer day the comments would go like
"i can't believe the dad locked the car"
damned if you do damned if you don't.
@timm710 I am wondering the same thing. Why would anyone leave young kids in a car by themselves. How often has it happened before this I wonder.
All my respect for police officers, was driving home with my uncle from a camping trip and I was 14 at the time. Police saw us go over the line and just asked if we were related out of precaution. Of course it was silly at the time but this brings me back. People actually kidnap kids, crazy world we live in
And people wonder why the children crossing the border are locked in cages away from their "parents."
As a kid, we traveled over the Canada/US border 100's of times for hockey tournaments, visiting family etc. A lot of times it was just my dad, brother and I travelling, as my mom sometimes had to work. The border agents on both sides would always ask my brother and I directly "is he your father?" as their first question, even before looking at our passports. I never grasped the importance of that until I got a bit older and started to learn about humanity's "dark side."
Yup, have a good friend that stopped a father outside a store because his daughter was pulling away super hysterical and saying things you don’t normally hear like “I want momma take me inside” because she didn’t want to come out to the truck with him and let mom shop unbothered. Buddy told him no disrespect but I want to make sure your her dad and he did. Just a child with a terrible temper but the father put her in the truck and thanked him and apologized for getting defensive, mom actually checked out while they were talking and came out and thanked him too after hearing about it. Crazy world we live in.
I know this is unrelated but … I really need to talk to somebOoooOoooooOty - Famous words from Buklao 😂
@@Z_TPI It’s funny you say that! My Dad and I regularly crossed over the border (in order to see friends in Canada), so I also got that question all the time.
Man…. That gives me chills. They probably never would have been seen again
I can't imagine the pain and fear those kid's parents must have felt. I'm so glad they're safe.
The few parts where the narration wasn't talking all over the cam footage, you could hear that guy's accent. He was not born "Kevin Smith". I'm guessing he had a history of this sort of thing and changed his name to try to hide his past.
Why, the father valued his life more than his kids, This was a active car jacking, dad aurrendered his truck with kids in it. As a father i can say those poor kids
are never going to feel safe again, who would when they know they are sacrifical.

I remember being little and walking down the road from my home with my younger brother when we were kids and a man in a truck just kept calling us to him while he drove slowly and kept driving slowly by us for like a whole two blocks. I just said run and we both darted home once we could see it. He even drove past our house again slowly afterwards like he was still looking for us or something. We were too little to understand exactly what was happening but knew something was wrong. That smart kid reminded me of that day. Good job speaking up kid, and glad that father got his kids back safe.

@@conor3257 why do you think they are lying?
I can’t imagine the father’s regret and terror. NEVER LEAVE YOUR KIDS ALONE IN THE CAR.
Exactly. NEVER. Other things can happen. I saw a woman let her toddler play in her car at a laundromat, and he shifted to neutral, so the car rolled downhill onto a busy street. Another set of parents let their 14 month old play in the car while they carried in groceries and a baby. He stepped on the window button and was choked to death.

Also, NEVER ASSUME. And NEVER BE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE PEOPLE FOR MISTAKES YOU **THINK** THEY MAY HAVE MADE. Just sayin'.

Good on the kid for openly telling that cop that the guy wasn't his dad.

I'm sure this cop is a hero to this kid. I love to see this sort of stuff.
It helps to nail that guy because they said that on video and it can be used in court
Stuff like this always turns my blood cold. Even 'though the kids were rescued the thought of them even being potentially kidnapped is absolutely chilling. Kudos to that officer and thank God he's removed that animal from the streets. The other prisoners will deal with him inside.
Guy is most likely a car thief. Kids happened to be in the car. Those circumstances now mean the guy gets to serve closer to life rather than a couple of years in prison. He becomes an eternal burden to the taxpayer and has no chance at redemption. If the kids weren´t threatened or assulted or anything like that I dont think he should be charged with kidnapping. So no, not best case scenario.

They were not terrified lol, they didnt know what was happening
They didn't know what was up. that's why they were so calm lol
I don't appreciate the short edited clips cops release, and the completely lacking police narratives with 0 substance. If they kept it quiet because they were looking into who he was working with, that would be great, but I have 0 faith left in American cops and want the footage we pay for whenever possible. This would be an exception considering the nature of the event, but it's every single time now they control the narrative and I don't give the benefit of the doubt any longer. I would like to know why he didn't have his gun out, why he didn't order the kids out of the car, if parents there should be more cautious(which honestly goes without saying but that looked like he might not have been alone). And yeah, so happy they are okay. So many stories end badly, it's good to win one for once. That cop is a hero, and I don't say that lightly like most.
P.S yeah, they don't sound terrified. Not sure what you mean lol. But it's most likely because they were misled, it's not hard to trick a little kid. That's why when I heard him repeating stuff most public schools teach now, reciting "he's not my dad" I was so thankful for the consideration of our teachers. Because who knows what he would do if that wasn't trained into him. You can see the monsters face when the kid says it, he knows he's screwed.
dont you got common sense? very obvious that kid was oblivious to the situation
i know this is a serious situation, but the kids didn't seem terrified at all. they probably weren't aware of how serious it was

My youngest is 5 years old and this sends shivers down my spine. I can't imagine the terror they went through as this lunatic took off with them. So glad they stopped him and the kids were safe.
But if really a lunatic is controlling ukraine, he is biden, and we can clearly see that he was never interested in the life or property of the ukrainians because no real president of ukraine in his right mind would break security agreements with russia or put himself to assassinate everyone who speaks Russian, on top of that there are millions of Russian-speakers in Ukraine but the Nazi terrorist groups already said that everyone who is pro-Russian had to leave the country, a government of exclusion when it should be one of inclusion and take care of the Ukrainians, instead of murdering them.
Thus, with a madman like Biden in charge, exactly what is happening is happening, using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder, those who govern the United States in the shadows, the bankers and arms corporations are not interested in the lives of the Ukrainians to nothing, it was not like "they did not realize or expect Russia to invade" because they just knew for years and decades that it was a red line to put nuclear missiles on the borders with Russia.
Do not be naive, do you really believe that the United States would peacefully allow Mexico to join Russia and China in a military organization and fill the US borders with nuclear missiles "because they are free to defend themselves as they wish"? Do you really believe that the US was going to let that happen peacefully without saying anything????? ???????
The crazy comedian you defend is precisely the traitor who gave up the life and future of all Ukrainian babies, children and adults for money.
A real president who truly defends the lives of Ukrainians would never have let this happen of having a war with the second world power, instead you see what happens if the comedian is just a puppet and the US is the one who truly governs them.

This could have turned out terribly wrong but I have to laugh at how nonchalantly the kid was like “that’s not my dad” 😂
