Key Discussion Points and Insights

The Incident: A Christmas Day Nightmare

• Location: Suburb near Houston, Texas.
• Victim: 15-year-old girl; left home to walk the family dog.
• Crisis: Did not return on time. Father used a phone tracking app to locate her.
• Discovery: Father found his daughter and the dog in a pickup truck with a 23-year-old man, described by police as partially nude; the man was armed with a knife ([04:33], [05:22]).
• Resolution: The father intervened and rescued his daughter before any further harm; the suspect, Giovanni Rosales Espinosa, was apprehended and charged with aggravated kidnapping and indecency with a child ([09:25]).

Emotional Reaction from Parents

• Shock and Outrage: Both hosts express heightened emotion over the fact that such an incident occurred on Christmas Day, increasing the sense of violation ([03:30]).
• Parental Instincts: Ed underscores the conflict parents feel between police advice and parental urgency:

  "Every police officer will tell you, don't do this. You shouldn't, but every police officer who's a dad will also say, hell yeah, I would have done the same thing." – Ed Helms ([05:22])

The Role of Technology – Phone Tracking Apps

• Lifeline: Repeated emphasis on the immense value of tracking technology in emergencies ([08:44], [09:25]).
• Recommendations: Discussion of options like Life360 and even using Apple AirTags for younger kids ([17:33], [18:48]).
• Balancing Act: Struggles between privacy and safety—Amy reflects on not tracking her daughters and reconsidering that choice ([17:54], [21:21]).

Parenting Challenges: Safety versus Independence

• Hypocrisy Noted:

  "It's an invasion of privacy for mama to know where I am, but there are 14 people on Snapchat that know exactly where I am right now." – Ed Helms ([18:35])

• Tech Adoption Anecdotes: Ed shares personal experience setting up Life360 with his daughter, Sabine, at age 10 for safety during her early independent outings ([10:58], [19:39]).
• Parental Authority: Ed states resolutely:

  "Yeah, sure. We can have that conversation when she's 23, just graduated college and starts paying her own bills. I look forward to that moment." ([21:11])

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Reflections on Suburban Safety:

  "There is this false sense of security that somehow if you're in a neighborhood nearby, you're safe. But actually, there aren't as many people watching." – Amy Robach ([22:47])

• On Heroic Parenting:

  "I bet he would say this too. I'm not a hero. I’m a dad. That's it. Some stuff we give parents credit for being heroic in doing. Other parents and those parents look at it and say, yeah, it's called parenting." – Ed Helms ([22:07])

• On Immediate Action:

  "There was no time to spare. The man was described as partially nude. If he had waited for police, if he had let time go by, God knows what happened, what could have happened." – Amy Robach ([07:46])

Practical Advice for Parents

• Be Proactive: Ensure your children carry their phones, even on quick errands ([08:44]).
• Tech Options: Use tracking apps like Life360, Find My Phone, or even Apple AirTags for younger kids or those without smartphones ([19:39]).
• Communication: Keep conversations open with children about how and why tracking is used for their safety ([18:48], [21:21]).

[Amy Robach]

Hey there everybody. It is Monday, December 29th and boy is there a scary story that every parent needs to hear out of Texas. It happened on Christmas Day. 15 year old girl goes out to take her family dog for a walk and when she doesn't come back in time, her father used his quick thinking, pulled up his phone, he had a tracking app, was able to find his daughter and it is shocking where it led him. And with that, everyone, thank you for joining us. Babe, did you. I can only imagine as the father of a soon to be 13 year old girl, this story had to send chills down your spine.

[Ed Helms]

I don't know why it was so aggravating to me that it happened on Christmas Day. That's not supposed. Look, any day that your child disappears and somebody takes them, especially a guy takes a girl, that type of kidnapping thing, it's awful, it's tragic. You can't piss a dad off more, period. I don't know why it was such an aggravating factor for me. It seems like a lot has been happening around the Christmas holidays that just, you know, even we were talking about Brown University so close to the holidays. Another story we're talking about this morning. A woman accidentally shot straight bullet on Christmas day. Something about Christmas day really pisses me off about this story.

[Amy Robach]

Yeah, this is, I mean, of all days, as you point out, any day would be terrible for this to happen. But this also, you just think about it, you living in a suburb, the family live just outside of Houston, it's Christmas day. You don't think anything like I wouldn't be worried at all about my 15 year old going out to walk the dog.

[Ed Helms]

And it was a lovely day. Houston had nice weather, it wasn't some cold blizzard up in. Right.

[Amy Robach]

Yeah.

[Ed Helms]

Fairly pleasant in Texas around Christmas Day. It was a nice day.

[Amy Robach]

You wouldn't think anything of it. So. Yeah. And then also I would also, you might give it a little time. Oh, she's not back. Maybe she ran into somebody she knows. Maybe she's talking to this neighbor or that you just would never. Your guard would be completely down. So kudos to this dad who jumps on his phone. He sees that his daughter is about two miles from his home. So that's alarming. Right. And then he sees it's in kind of a wooded area. So he takes off and it leads him to this partially wooded area. And he finds his daughter and the family dog in a pickup truck with a 23 year old man who police describe as partially nude. Those moments, what goes through this father's mind when he sees this?

[Ed Helms]

Oh, I mean, there was a weapon involved here. I mean this is dangerous. And no matter what. Yes, everything, everywhere, everybody calling this dad a hero. Kudos to you. Every police officer will tell you, don't do this. You shouldn't but every police officer who's a dad will also say, hell yeah, I would have done the same thing. What do you do there? This worked out, but this is a very dangerous situation. But it, and again, we need to make clear this is not anybody suspecting that the girl ran off with some older guy. This is not that situation. He took this girl at knife point. And to think the walk, the dad walks up on that scene. Who Fear and fury.

[Amy Robach]

When you, when you just described it, I actually had chills just go down my entire body. It almost reads like a movie script. Like I'm seeing Liam Neeson going after his daughter because I'm imagining he's coming up. You wouldn't necessarily prepare yourself for what he saw. And yes, she was taken at knifepoint. She's 15 years old. He's a 23 year old man and he was able to get his daughter away safely. I. We didn't get the details. Did you see anywhere the details about how he did it?

[Ed Helms]

It's very curious. A half naked armed man and the guy gets his daughter away safely. So no, I would like to hear though I assume we will, but they haven't let us know yet.

[Amy Robach]

And to your point, perhaps police weren't so quick to people what happened or how the father was able to get the daughter away. Because I hadn't thought about this. But you pointed it out. They don't want people taking matters into their own hands as much as you want to as a parent. They're saying, please, the best and safest thing to do would to be to call police. Let them walk in on the scene armed and prepared and trained to know how to handle a situation like this better than a desperate father would. So maybe they aren't telling us for those reasons.

[Ed Helms]

Okay, I will tell every desperate father out there. Do exactly what this guy did. I'm sorry. And that's bad advice. Terrible advice, dangerous advice. But what is the cop going to tell you? Has she been missing for 24 hours? We can't really do anything for 48 hours. We have to. That's what they're going to tell you. And on Christmas Day, what kind of response are you going to get from police?

[Amy Robach]

Babe, you're so right.

[Ed Helms]

Okay? There is not. This man had no other choice than to do what he did. Maybe he could have collected some of his boys, got some more people together for a safer trip to. There is nothing 100% he did the right thing. He had no choice.

[Amy Robach]

I mean, every parent knows that's exactly instinctually what you would do. You can't wait for 911 to show up. You can't wait to see when and how the police are going to arrive. And also, he didn't know what he was walking up to see. He didn't know that he was actually going to be walking up on what pretty much would be worst case scenario, short of her actually already being harmed. But to walk up and he to think there was no time to spare. The man was described as partially nude. If he had waited for police, if he had let time go by, God knows what happened, what could have happened.

[Ed Helms]

Every cop is like, nope, this is not the right advice. Every parent, what else do you do? Even if he had called police and it wasn't the 48 hours, 24 hours, hadn't been missing, say, hey, I tracked her, I see her here. Can somebody help me? You're still to get them to do that is going to take a few more minutes to take some more time.

[Amy Robach]

He.

[Ed Helms]

Hell yes. And he knows his kid. I'm sure he blew that phone up, was calling, she wasn't answering. He knew there was a problem.

[Amy Robach]

You know, this is another reminder, like, we all worry about giving our kids phones. We all worry about too much screen time or they might be distracted. This is a case where, thank God she had her phone. You know, when I go to walk the dog, you always tell me, babe, take your phone with you. And sometimes I forget because, oh, I'm just walking around the block. I'm not gonna be gone long. This is exactly the reason why if your child is away from you, is not next to you, not with you, and just even doing something as mundane and seemingly safe as walking the dog, you need to have your cell phone with you parents.

[Ed Helms]

What do we do when they're in front of us? All we do, get off your phone, get off your phone. Then when they walk out, you got your phone.

[Amy Robach]

It's a lifeline. I mean, look, it obviously has a lot of negativity and negative things associated with it, but thank God. And honestly, the fact that it was a smartphone, the fact that you could have these parental controls put on it, the fact that he could track her and see her and find. And it's really remarkable we should mention the guy who was arrested. His name is Giovanni Rosales Espinosa. He was charged with aggravated kidnapping and indecency with the child, and he is behind bars right now without bond. Just wanted to point that out.

[Ed Helms]

What's going on in someone's life that you choose Christmas Day for kidnapping was a Crime of opportunity. Had he been eyeing her for a while, Been following? Did he just really just see someone and decide to do. Come on. Okay, I get it. We'll find out some details there. But I think, yes, the headlines and the story here.

[Amy Robach]

Just a.

[Ed Helms]

It's a nice reminder about the phones and how important it is to sometimes fight with your kids about safety controls, to fight with them about being able to track them all the time. To say this is important, necessary. I know grown folks with grown kids who track them on some of these apps can even tell that they'd been speeding and will get on to the kids. I see you were going 85 in a 40, right? All these kinds of things. It might be annoying to the kid, but it is everything for the parents and us having kids running around in New York City on subways. Absolutely. You damn right. You get in the phone. Everybody's getting the phone.

[Amy Robach]

You got Sabina phone at what age?

[Ed Helms]

She was 9 or 10. 10. And that was a matter. It wasn't a. I didn't give her a Holy iPhone. The whole thing. This was a matter of. To practice, to test. And again, she was about to start walking to school, being without a parent on the street phone, and she forgot. No, no. Her battery went down once. She said she sprinted home because she knew her daddy was gonna lose it if he couldn't get in touch with her. She lost battery power on the phone. I'm just saying, we all understand. It's like this. Dad knew his daughter's behavior. He knew something was up. He knew she knew to be in touch. I mean, this is the cool. It is. I hate social media. Sorry. You know what I mean? I'm not railing into. I'm saying what it does sometimes with kids and get off the phone. Another tick, tock. And another. But, man, that thing has been an absolute lifeline. No issue like this for me, but the number of times we've sat up, you hear the alert go off, you say, all right, Sabine's on the move. We hear the alerts. Physically, when she goes from one spot to another, we get an alert. So I love these things, and I love what this dad did. And yes, this could have ended up tragically for both of them.

[Amy Robach]

Oof. I am. This, thank God, had a happy ending. It's one of the reasons why I felt like this was such a good story to tell everyone, because you could have missed this. It's Christmas weekend. I certainly missed this story. But we read it this morning when we woke up, and we thought, this is something that every parent needs to hear when we come back. I have to tell you I do not track my daughters. I am rethinking it now, but authorities say there are plenty, plenty of options for parents out there to make sure your kids cell phones can in fact become a lifeline.

[Cal Penn]

Hey, audiobook lovers. This week on the podcast I'm sitting down with musician, producer and walking instru Encyclopedia Questlove. We're talking about Mark Ronson's memoir Night how to be a DJ in 90s New York City. All right, like we talked about before, Mark Ronson found sanctuary in the DJ booth. What's a tool or piece of equipment in the studio or on stage that gives you the most control?

[Ed Helms]

So I have two microphones on stage. We have the microphone that you hear as the audience. Then we have a second microphone in which we communicate with each other. I feel like that second microphone kind of saved all of our friendships. No band likes each other after 20 years or 25 years. The Beatles broke up in seven and a half years and we're going on 35.

This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation. Learn more at don't sleep on osa.com this information is provided by Lily a medicine company. Welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and tj and this is an important one. This story is is incredible for parents to hear because of what happened in a Houston suburb on Christmas Day. 15 year old girl goes out to walk the family dog. She's late, her father gets a little concerned and he is able to use the tracking system. Police didn't say exactly which technology this particular father had on his phone, but he was able to immediately find his daughter two miles from their home, about to be assaulted by a man who had kidnapped her at knife point from her her family's neighborhood. She was in a partially wooded area. She was in his pickup truck and he literally saved the day. But you could even say that technology saved the day. He would never have found his daughter.

[Ed Helms]

Why do you. Why did they not say? Why do you think? I didn't see a comment for but why wouldn't they tell us which app he used? Which technology he used?

[Amy Robach]

Not sure. They just didn't. They just said that it was technology and then in the articles they give the options I know you use Live 360.

[Ed Helms]

Yes, that's the one that friend of mine, Sunny Hostin of all people turned me onto it said yep, this is what we do and this is how we track and show. She gave me a whole demonstration sitting at lunch one day and I had it on the phone for me and Sabine.

[Amy Robach]

By that afternoon and that's remarkable, I think, because my girls are about, you know, a decade older than Sabine. When all of this was happening, the technology wasn't there. I wasn't aware of it. So I never insisted, stalled it or did it because, look, my girls are now Ava's birthdays. Today she's turning 23. Happy birthday. I actually feel like it would be an invasion of her privacy for me to know where she is all the time and. But now I'm starting to get worried. Like, worst case scenario, you can't find your child. I do know that all their friends track her. So part of me is thinking, okay, well, I know I could call this person or that person and they would be able to tell me where she is. But now I'm feeling like I should have a conversation, which is weird. Why. Why is it.

[Ed Helms]

It's an invasion of privacy for mama to know where I am, but there are 14 people on Snapchat that know exactly where I am right now.

[Amy Robach]

Really?

[Ed Helms]

Why is that Then? Who cares? Then you might as well track exactly.

[Amy Robach]

I want to have a conversation because this is actually a moment as a parent. Worst case scenario, you cannot find your child. To know that there is technology out there where you can find your. Where they are in real time. Like get a GPS location on them. That is remarkable. Authorities say, too, if you don't want to give your kid. If they're young enough that you don't want to give them a smartphone or something where they can be tracked. I hadn't thought about this. You can find a way to just buy Apple airtags and you can put it in their bag, attach it to their backpack, attach it to their shoes, whatever it is that you know they're taking with them every day that they would never be without. I never even considered. You can track your luggage. You could also track a person with that as well if you needed to.

[Ed Helms]

You have unlimited options out there almost. And what doesn't the Apple phone can't you do? Everybody's just the find my phone.

[Amy Robach]

Yes, you can find my phone. And then you can also look there are your. Your life360 because. Because they suggest they're just letting people know. You can actually have alerts set up where when your child leaves home, when they leave the school, when they leave certain zones, you can actually really customize this for what you need to know about your child. And I mean, we know if you'll tell me Sabine's still sleeping. How do you know that? Because her phone's plugged in. I Can see it. That is crazy to me.

[Ed Helms]

Every morning. Look, and to your point about the locations, it was set at her school. As soon as that phone leaves the school, it goes. We get an alert because she's now somewhere else from where she's supposed to be. Anytime she's at this home, she's on the move. It's set. Look, life360, I, I. We are not paid endorsers. But I am endors.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. And it's funny because not only do you see where she goes, but then you can see when she's spending money. All of a sudden you go, cha Ching. You can see when she goes to Chipotle. You can see when she goes to Starbucks.

[Ed Helms]

And it tells me how fast she's going. I can tell if she's just hanging out at that spot. If she's walking, it has a little shoe that's moving. If she's. Oh, sweetheart, this thing is great.

[Amy Robach]

She's. Look, she's turning 13 in what, a week? So right now she's cool with that. What are you gonna do? And I actually already know the answer to this. But have you prepared yourself for when she is going to start asking you to monitor her less or to take certain controls off of your phone or her phone?

[Ed Helms]

Yeah, sure. We can have that conversation when she's 23, just graduated college and starts paying her own bills. I look forward to that moment. It's going to be awesome.

[Amy Robach]

That is the right answer. Look, and this is one of those stories where it is so wonderful to be able to tell this story and have it end the way it did. Thank God. And I hope that this is something. It's making me rethink at least what I know about where my kids are. Not because I care about necessarily at this point, who they're hanging out with, but if something went wrong, if something scary happened. Look, Anneliese is 19. She's in college. I'm now thinking for sure I want to be able to know where she is.

[Ed Helms]

She's the one I'd be scared to see where she is half the time. Hearing her some her stories. You know what? I'd skip that one.

[Amy Robach]

And you know what's scary? Like Sabine's six years behind Annalise. That'll. That'll wake up father up in the middle of the night.

[Ed Helms]

God in heaven. But look, I give this guy, you know, what they call him? You know, a lot of parents, this is not a knock against him. But I bet he would say this too. I'm not a hero. I'M a dad. That's it. Some stuff we give parents credit for being heroic in doing. Other parents and those parents look at it and say, yeah, it's called parenting. Yeah, that's all that is. And I guess, yes, it's heroic. And maybe others wouldn't have done it, but man, he had no choice. That was the only choice for this man. And so I commend him. Glad it worked out. But still, we have to admit, that was some trauma. Can you imagine what this girl feels on Christmas Day? God, a knife, a half naked man. She's in that scenario. I mean, this is Christmas Day.

[Amy Robach]

I just, I just think of it all the times when Annie would go walk the dog in New York City by herself. I actually felt safer in New York because there are so many people around actually have this, this feeling of safety because there are so many eyes and so many bystanders. There's much less likely of an opportunity for someone to take a child. But you do think you have this false sense of security. I grew up in the suburbs. You grew up in the suburbs. There is this false sense of security that somehow if you're in a neighborhood nearby, you're safe. But actually there aren't as many people watching. There aren't as many people to stop something from happening. So thank God this father had the that tracking app on his phone. Dad of the year on that one. But thank you all for listening to us. We always appreciate you. I'm Amy Robach alongside T.J. holmes. We will talk to you soon.
