Father Claims 3-Year-Old Daughter Was Abducted Just So Cops Could Find His Stolen Car Faster

One man was PRESSED to get his precious Mercedes back that he brought his child into a lie that could’ve gotten the vehicle found faster.

According to ABC 7 News, the Oakland father falsely reported that his 3-year-old daughter Ciara McCroey was missing. An AMBER ALERT was issued on Saturday night when the dad allegedly told cops that his car was stolen with his daughter still inside.

It was originally reported that the kid was apprehended by an “unknown suspect” from Oakland in a 2005 Silver Mercedes Benz S430 sedan near 58th Avenue and International Blvd. However, on Sunday it was reported that Ciara was actually safe with her mom at the time the car was reported stolen.

Now the dad is accused of filing a false police report, claiming that Ciara was in the stolen vehicle. Oakland PD explained that he “lied to police in hopes police would find his car quickly.”

According to NBC Bay Area, the suspect for the stolen car was spotted and pursued by authorities before crashing the ride near the intersection of Carlson Boulevard and San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito, California. The suspect was arrested on the scene, but there was no trace of anyone else in the car. Cops found Ciara in safe condition about two hours later.

Smh.

All for the Mercedes Benz.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines.

After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations.

Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
