Three Children Kidnapped And Father Stabbed After Ex-Girlfriend Barges Into Home With Masked Henchmen

These three children were kidnapped and their father was stabbed after his ex-girlfriend allegedly invaded his home with masked henchmen.

The incident took place in Mableton, an unincorporated community in Cobb County, in the US state of Georgia, about 15 miles from the state capital city of Atlanta, on Wednesday 1st December at about 9 PM when the dad, named by cops as Danny Bernal, was stabbed in a home invasion allegedly orchestrated by his ex-girlfriend.

She is alleged to have broken into his home with masked men before stabbing him and leaving with his three children, he told police. It is unclear if she is the mother of the children.

The police managed to track down and rescue the three children, who have not been named, from a motel about 20 miles away from Bernal’s home.

The photographs were shared by the Cobb County Police Department and show the three children after they were rescued from the motel, which is located in the nearby town of Decatur, by the police. They can be seen sitting in the back of a car with a blanket. The police said that two other children seen sitting in the back of a police car were “not associated with our case”.

The Cobb County Police Department shared images of the children after they were recovered by the police and said in a statement: “Cobb County Police Officers responded to a person stabbed at 6760 Mableton Pkwy Lot 2B in Mableton, Ga on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at approximately 9 p.m.
