A Florida woman is in jail and facing numerous charges after she allegedly kidnapped a family and held them at gunpoint, according to law enforcement.
Helen Litchfield, 71, has been charged with three counts of kidnapping, three counts of aggravated assault, and a count of armed burglary, the Wakulla County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

Litchfield allegedly "lured" a father and his two young daughters both under the age of 13 to her home by telling them they could fish in her pond. The family was fishing off a bridge on August 4 when they encountered Litchfield, WCTV reports.
Investigators said that once the family was at her home, Litchfield pulled a gun and held the family against their will. She allegedly said she did not believe the man was the girls' real father.
According to deputies, the man and the girls insisted that they were related, but Litchfield did not believe them. She allegedly searched the family members while she kept them held at gunpoint.
She also allegedly searched the family's car while they were at her property.
Litchfield's roommate reportedly led them to a fence where they could escape Litchfield's property while she was distracted.
Once the family reached the fence, they ran away and reported the incident to the police. Its unclear if they returned for their car or left it at the property until police arrived.

Deputies arrested Litchfield on Friday and she was booked into the Wakulla County Jail.

So the crazy woman's roommate helped the family escape? That's nice of them. I wonder if they knew how deranged his/her roommate is.

Racism or mental illness? I mean, probably both regardless, but is this a "mixed race children don't have the same skin tone as dad" situation, or more like "the voices told me".

One of the rules growing up is you're not supposed to follow strangers to their home, yet this father allowed himself and his two children to do just that over a promise for fishing, and all to end up in the exact scenario for why you're not supposed to follow strangers to their homes in the first place. I'm glad they're all safe in the end, but what a fucking moron. This dude needs to teach his kids better.

I hate how often people get accused of not being related to the kids. Mixed race families are a thing, step parents are a thing.

Yeah, that's the fucking take away here. Got to love that good old victim blaming.

It's not victim blaming, it's common sense. It's probably the most common parenting adage right up there with "don't take candy from strangers". The father literally led his kids into danger based off the word of a stranger when he's supposed to be teaching them the exact opposite.
