Timothy Schlafer Was Interrupted

Yay Grandma!! OMG, this is so scary! It really does make you think about what he’s done in the past. And WTH?! They found him at a golf course with his pants undone?!! Sick bastard. And he told her “not to throw up”? This whole story makes me want to throw up!! Thank God her grandma was not scared and just got really pissed off and chased him down the stairs, a very lucky ending……..

Thanks, you!

He’s a scary kid. Also, he’s a ringer for a young Scott Peterson. Just sayin’.

This has been all over the local news. The family is moving out of the area because of this, they are terrified. The poor little girl said she thought it was someone who knew her mom that was carrying her out, so she tried to go back to sleep. His father is the owner of some apartments or something

the whole ‘dont throw up” thing leaves me thinking that a child has thrown up on him before while he was raping him/her.

that is one lucky little girl.

high 5 gramma!!

I’d give anything to know the particular way in which this creep developed this idea. How do these people get these weird sick fascinations — “Oh, I think I’ll just carry a kid out of her home during the night.” Why did he choose that little girl? Is she a type he is fixated on?

I guess the basic question is how some people’s sexuality gets so fundamentally screwed up. I’m glad this kid is 18 so there’s no question of juvenile “justice” for him.

That poor little girl will be scared forever. Not just because of what happened, but because she made a choice and it was the wrong one. That will haunt her, I’m afraid.

Good going, grams! Dear God, what if she’d just thought, ‘Oh, she probably got up to use the restroom’ and rolled over and went back to sleep??? That is scary as HELL.

I hope he gets a nice long prison sentence, as his intentions were clear. Creepy scumbucket.

This guy is bad news. I hope they don’t let him off with just a slap on the wrist. He will do it again.

Grandma should be glad he didn’t kill her or at least stab her before trying to take the kid.

This is one of the scariest stories I’ve ever read on DD. I’m frightened to the core of my being by this kind of occurrence.

Several years ago I believe I almost lost my son to a kidnapper / pedophile while we were at a bookstore. It was late and my husband and I had taken our son (9 or so at the time) as a treat while his brother was away at camp. While in the past we had permitted our kids to hang around the kids’ section of this store (a large chain) by themselves because there were always adult salespeople in the area, this time my husband and I had nothing in particular we wanted to look at and it was kind of “bonding time”, so we were next to him the whole time. But that didn’t deter one particular man (the only other person in the kids’ section) from lurking nearby.

I got this queasy feeling in my stomach at one point, but dismissed it at first, thinking I was being paranoid. After several minutes though, I decided to quietly indicate my concern to my husband who replied that he’d noticed the man, too. We’d go down an aisle and the man would “magically” appear on the opposite side or in the same aisle, pretending to look at a book and putting it back, but all the while watching my son. Finally, my son chose a book and we left the area. The man followed. I veered off in one direction to advise a manager of my concern, while my husband continued toward the registers. My son decided to dart in the opposite direction (he’d been walking next to my husband, completely unaware of the concern we had), to look at something on a shelf near the front of the store. My husband immediately noticed my son walking away and followed him, but the man behind us beat him to it and was behind my son by about 3 steps. After shouting my son’s name to get his attention, the man changed direction and ran out the front door. By then, I’d grabbed a store employee and he and my husband followed the man out of the store thinking they could at least get a license plate number or make / color of vehicle he jumped into, but he didn’t get into a car. He ran around the corner of the store into the woods that surround this particular development. He disappeared into the dark.

I will never forget the experience or the fact that the man was wearing a small, child-size backpack that was obviously empty except for something very heavy at the bottom, weighing the backpack down. I have no idea, of course, what was in the backpack, but I can imagine. I sobbed quietly the whole ride home and immediately ran to the bathroom when we walked in our own front door, so I could vomit.

While nothing happened, I know it was going to. Had we left our son to browse the area on his own, as we had done before (although his older siblings had always been with him), I know my son would have been gone. I knew it that night and I know it now. It was in my gut. I could feel it. But I didn’t have to WATCH it happen, and therein lies the blessing for my family.

This family, on the other hand, will never be able to get the image of their child / granddaughter being carried away by a knife-wielding stranger out of their heads or hearts. I feel so badly for them and for the little girl.

yogaluvr, I know what you mean. I took my goddaughter to disneyland when she was 6. We were in a gift shop when I noticed a man following a little girl about my goddaughter’s age. He wasn’t following the way a parent would, it was just a strange gut feeling. There were no parents around this girl. I told my mother to take my girl’s hand, and I started following the man. I was pregnant at the time, so I was ferociously maternal. He was hunting this child. I think he was about to go for the grab on her, she was near the door and secluded behind a shelf, when he shot one last look around, and came face to face with an angry prego with claws out. He almost fell backwards and ran like his ass was on fire out of that store. I had never thought about how disneyland would also be an amusement park for pedophiles. After that though, you can bet I looked out twice as hard for the rest of the trip. (I didn’t leave the store until the little girl’s parents came back, about 5 minutes later, she would have been long gone by then.)

I actually feel sorry for this guy. STOP THROWING SHIT AT ME and let me explain….sheeesh!

When he lands in jail and right before his ass beating starts he’s actually going to have to say the words, “I’d have gotten away with it if the girl’s Granny hadn’t stopped me.”

If Bubba can stop laughing long enough, this kid is gonna be a hurtin.

Tomorrow I’ll have a 5′ brush hog out mowing…can I run over this fucker a couple times?….Pleeeeeease?

Those are some scary stories, about the bookstore and disneyland. There sure are a lot of sleazeballs out there. A year or two ago, some asshole grabbed a little girl in Albertson’s here… with her dad standing RIGHT THERE! Asshole took off with the little girl, but luckily daddy could run faster, tackled him, and got in a few good punches before the cops got there.

It’s scary as hell out there. How can I ever protect my children enough?

“It’s scary as hell out there. How can I ever protect my children enough?”

As stories like this clearly illustrate, you can’t. What you can do, however, is teach your kid to protect themselves. In a situation like that, every kid should know to scream, kick, punch, bite…Whatever they can do to get away or call attention. Could the child get hurt doing this? Sure. But, realistically, if the perp makes it to a secure location with the kid, the kid will just be hurt and then killed.

Way to outline the super-creepiness of this kid, Imp. A clear example of a born sociopath. Of course, with no priors and having not done any real damage to the kid, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was out in 10 or less, having had plenty of time to pick up some tricks of the trade and be back on the street, more lethal than before. That’s scary.

“If Bubba can stop laughing long enough, this kid is gonna be a hurtin.”

I know we’d all like to think that, but honestly? If this kid really is anything like a Bundy or other charismatic sociopaths, he’ll probably get along just fine in prison, making lots of friends quickly and learning how to play the game.

Now that just sucks Athena, but I know you are more than likely correct. He’ll be just another preditor learning “how to” – only better.

If they EVEN give him 10, it’ll be a surprise. Like you said, no priors and no real damage.

My money says he gets five or less and walks out with time served and supervised probation for awhile. Seriously.

And if I were his probie, i would watch him like a hawk.

PREDATOR, I meant to say……

Damn Imp, I thought Athena’s “forecast” was bad – just keep bringin’ the pooh down.

What’s REALLY sick is that his lawyer will say “he’s a good kid who happened to make a bad decision, besides, he got caught, so no harm done. If he was REALLY that bad he could have stabbed the grandma and stole the kid anyway. See, he’s a good kid!” Then some lame-ass judge who lives in a gated-community with bodyguards will decide that this is a good kid who does not threaten society, at least not HIS, society and let the kid go with a slap on the wrist. I pray we never hear from him again!

Good thing they caught this pile of poo when they did. Can you imagine the damage he would have caused within the next 10 years…Hell, within the next 10 minutes!

My money says he gets five or less and walks out with time served and supervised probation for awhile. Seriously.

Note to Florida: Keep on the lookout for this guy around 2013 (and hopefully it will be AT LEAST be that long). You’ll recognize him by his weird peanut-shaped head, but he’ll have over-developed biceps & pecs…and most likely a few swazi tattoos.

Impqueen, he TOTALLY looks like Scott Peterson!

Carol13 – good for you! Sounds like you didn’t question your gut for one instant. I did. I thought I was being dramatic and paranoid. But my gut was screaming at me and wouldn’t stop. The fact that he was ballsy enough to lurk right in front of my husband and I just sends chills down my spine. His backpack, though, was what made me vomit. I could only imagine the plans he had for my beautiful son.

So, this Scott Peterson lookalike must have a quite the set of testacles. He walks into a bedroom and takes a child right out of the bed she’s sleeping in with her grandmother. Just like that. Nothing to it.

Think if he’d used his set for good and not evil.

Carol13 – Not only Disney but Chuck E. Cheese also. There was a case (not that long ago) where a dude (here in Cali) groped a little girl that was in line to swap her tickets for prizes. EWWWWWW!!! So sad that places for children become “open season” spots for pervs…

The lawyer of Timothy Schlafer, 18, explained to the judge, “I respectfully request you reduce that bond. This child, Timothy, is an honor student and has a scholarship to FAU and has substantial ties to the community.”

Or plans to tie up a substantial portion of the community.

How do defense lawyers live with themselves???

Just the stories in the comment section are enough to want to barracade myself and my son in our home until he is 25…but it seems even THAT isn’t safe enough. My boyfriend thought I was being over-paranoid because I didn’t want to do things like post a stork outside our house after our son was born…glad I didn’t, as I discovered their is a registered sex offender living ON MY STREET.

Ever since I discovered this website (link to a story led me here, then sat for hours days reading the archives), I’ve been looking at the world differently. There are some SICK FUCKS out there. I wish they would wear name tags or something so I could identify them and stay away. This kid looks so… normal. Good call with the Ted Bundy reference, Athena.

My boyfriend thought I was being over-paranoid because I didn’t want to do things like post a stork outside our house after our son was born…glad I didn’t, as I discovered their is a registered sex offender living ON MY STREET.

That’s exactly why we didn’t post the signs either; even though we got some as gifts. No use advertising to all the freakazoids out there that the most vulnerable person possible was now a member of our household. Lucky for me Mr. Clean is as paranoid as I am.

I think it was right around the time that I saw a news story (or was it a Lifetime Movie?) about a woman being murdered for her fetus that I became extremely aware of my surroundings whenever I would haul my pregnant ass out of the house. Better safe than sorry, I say!

I know we are not supposed to live in fear and all, but this sh!t happens everyday (here at DD at least three terrifying stories a day). I hold my kids so close. I am so scared of something happening to them. I am quite paranoid about the people around me. Anytime someone wants to spend time with my kids, my first thought is “Why would someone want to spend time with children that are not their own?” Paranoid, but safe I think.

Anyway about the nametags and stuff. I heard somewhere that they were thinking of printing “Sex Offender” in bright red on driver’s licences. Anybody hear about that?

Stories like this make me sick. Good thing Grandma was there or this would have turned out very differently. I have a feeling this wasn’t this guy’s first offense of this kind, scary.

Tim schlafer is a misguided kid who had a full paid scolarship to FAU. That kid sat behind me in class I've known Tim since middle school. You are no one to play Jesus to this kid. Tim and his boys broke into houses when they were on drugs. He was a smart kid who did stupid things but he is no Ted Bundy. If he is set free and not judged as a pedafile which he is not he could be a good man and do something with his life. Tim spent the weekends breaking into houses and spending the nights at his girlfriends house. I don't believe the story that he had a knife when there were no fingure prints on the knife. And if that's not true who knows what else from the story that cane from the corupt coral springs police a half asleep girl and an old women dealing with a break in. Schlafers no pedafile and it's a shame he is being labeled as such. As such an astute writer to such a overly proported story have u even met the 18 year old boy you are hoping is condemned to a prison as an attemptive child pedafile? Kids do stupid things but pedafiles in prison are treated as the scum of the scum. Sleep at night realizing the label you are putting on a young boy with mental issues who is sleeping in a prison cell for the second year in a row

Does that mean you'll wake up every two hours or so wanting a boob/bottle and a diaper change?

Fucking apologist for a paedophile…why the fuck else would he be taking an eleven year old girl out of her house in the middle of the night? Misguided doesn't even come close. Tim and his boys broke into houses while they were on drugs? OMG DRUGS!!! Well that makes it all right then, if it was DRUGS and not HIM that's fine…I'm sure that makes the victims feel so much better. Damn nasty drugs, should be locked up I say. /sarcasm

You're the misguided one I'm afraid. Your friend was caught in the act, and you still can't see him for what he really is. Have you ever wondered why he did this one alone? It's because he didn't want his “boys” to see him attempting to kidnap and molest an eleven year old.

Oh, and there's a reason paedophiles are treated as the scum of the scum, it's because they are.

By the way, your fucked up spelling and grammar make it really hard to wade through what is already bullshit. Try working on that and YOU may be able to do something with your life, other than make excuses for a monster in training.

Sleep well, I know I will.

I can see your point, but if someone comes onto this website with the attitude that his friend is innocent and we're all fools easily led by the media, odds are he's not going to gain a lot from the responses he receives, even if they contain sanity, sense, and logic (something that these defenders often need desperately). I think I've only ever read one defender whose comments were well-reasoned and made sense. (I probably should have bookmarked that one.) In spite of that, I agree that it is fun to try and translate whatever they're saying, and I often laugh my ass off at the responses they get.

Your weekends sound like a lot more fun than mine. Instead of turning water into wine, lager, or any other of the Lord's finest brews, I usually get stuck trying to keep a herd of children from murdering each other, especially now that it's winter. Blood's a real bitch to get out of the carpet.

Luckily I only had one spawn, and he is grown and out on his own.

As far as getting blood out of the carpet… the solution is simple…red carpeting! Or…as a second option…bubblewrap the kids.

I hope that you aren't anywhere near the east coast… my area is expecting about 18″ of snow tonight. If I was in your position… I'd need all the wine or lager I could get my hands on!

You are terminally stupid.

Out of this whole article of an attempted abduction, you have an issue with a discrepancy where one source says “he rubbed the victim's stomach” and another calls it “copping a feel”.

I have news for you, if anyone not a medical professional or direct family member was seen rubbing any part of an 11 year old's anatomy…it is copping a feel!

As far as dreamin demon being bias, yeah… we are. We are pretty proud that we stand by the victims in these types of cases. Guess what, this isn't a court of law dumbass.

If you have a problem with the way Imp writes an article, here is a suggestion… WRITE ONE YOUR DAMN SELF! Rather than linking an article that someone else wrote.

And one last thing… I read the article you linked. It doesn't change anything. He was still caught trying to carry/drag her out of the house. He was still caught at the abandoned golf course, apparently ready for some “jerkin' of the Gherkin” since he lost his victim.

Oh yeah, that makes things a LOT better. He was just rubbing the stomach of the little girl he kidnapped to make sure she didn't puke. Well now that just changes everything.
