Stranger Danger!
A 6-year-old Missouri boy was led to believe he'd been kidnapped, shown a gun, and threatened with being sold into "sex slavery" — and it was all part of an alleged plot to teach the boy a lesson because he was "too nice" to strangers, authorities said.
Deputies from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday first questioned the boy's aunt, mother, grandmother and a 23-year-old man for their alleged roles in child's four-hour ordeal on Monday, the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office said the boy's aunt, Denise Kroutil, 38, enlisted the help of a co-worker, Nathan Wynn Firoved, 23, to stage a kidnapping to scare the child, and that the boy's mother, Elizabeth Hupp, 25, and grandmother, Rose Brewer, 58, agreed with the scheme.
On Monday, Firoved allegedly kidnapped the child after he got off a school bus and said he would never "see his mommy again," authorities said. Firoved also showed a handgun to the now-sobbing boy, then drove around in his truck, and finally tied him up and covered his face with a jacket when the child wouldn't stop crying.

The boy was eventually led upstairs and lectured about the dangers strangers could pose.
