A disturbing incident occurred in Mogi das Cruzes, where a woman was kidnapped at home by a man who threatened her daughter with a knife. Attempting to comply with his demands, she was coerced into making a financial transfer via a payment app, but technical issues arose which prevented the transaction. In a violent altercation, the woman suffered injuries as the attacker struck her.

The situation escalated as the kidnapper placed the woman in a car, intending to drive her to an ATM to complete the transaction. Their journey led them to a gas station on Avenida Voluntário Pinheiro Franco, where security footage revealed the woman attempting to seek help from bystanders, including a gas station attendant and two men present, but unfortunately, no assistance was offered, highlighting the community's failure to intervene in a critical moment.

At the gas station, the lack of an ATM complicated matters, and the woman's perilous situation was further exacerbated by her captor's violent tendencies. While the police have received a report, this harrowing case calls attention to the issues of kidnapping, domestic violence, and the importance of community vigilance in ensuring safety for vulnerable individuals.
