Mother Of Alleged Kidnapper Claims Her Son Was Set Up
posted (May 24, 2024)
On Monday we told you about 33-year-old Kareem Hamilton, who was charged for kidnapping a 5-year-old girl.

According to her mother, the little girl was in the yard when Hamilton grabbed her. She chased after him and rescued her daughter.

And while Hamilton is currently remanded - and is seen by the public as a very dangerous man, his mother is seeking justice for her son.

Janice Coleman claims that Hamilton was set up by the child's father, who is involved in a dispute with the girl's mother. Coleman explained that Hamilton was paid to do a job and that after the mother got back the child, five men came and beat him up.

Coleman stopped by our studio today.

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"The father went and told him to go for the child in the yard, two little girls are in the yard, one is playing with her and he told my son go and take her and bring her to me but my son couldn't make it where they were. And the same day, they went, the mother got the daughter, and then the boys came out and they chance my son and they beat him up bad. So if she want justice I want justice too for my child I feel for him."

Courtney Menzies:
"Does your son have any relation to the little girl at all?"

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"Nothing, he doesn't know her."

Courtney Menzies:
"So why did the father ask him to go for the child?"

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"Because he didn't know better and he couldn't help himself."

Courtney Menzies:
"But, as a man, why would you just pick up a child you don't know?"

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"Because the father send him to her and told him to bring her."

Courtney Menzies:
"But wouldn't you knock on the door to see the other adult."

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"He didn't knock on the door, he told him to go straight in the yard and bring the daughter to him."

Courtney Menzies:
"But why would your son do that knowing that he doesn't know this child?"

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"I want to know why he did a thing like that. They chance my child so I want justice and this won't get away like this at all because if I have to go to court, I will go to court for him."

Courtney Menzies:
"So now who beat up your son?"

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"The five men that live behind Yaborough. I don't know where they are but they beat up him and she told them they could kill him."

Courtney Menzies:
"But the reason they beat him is because they believe he was taking this child."

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"But the child didn't cry."

Courtney Menzies:
"But the child told her mom that she was afraid."

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"But she didn't cry."

Courtney Menzies:
"She said she didn't cry because she was afraid."

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"Because the father was waiting for her by Excelsior areas waiting for his child to come. But he couldn't make it on the street same time she told the men to jump on him. And they start to beat him."

Courtney Menzies:
"So you want the men who hurt your son to be charged."

Janice Coleman, Mother of Alleged Kidnapper
"And the father of the little girl too."

In 2013, Hamilton was charged for committing an unnatural act with a 15 year old disabled male.
