Why Did Grandfather Timothy Moore Take A Knife To Day Care?

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Police arrested a grandfather for going into an Omaha day care armed and taking his 4-year-old grandaughter without permission Friday afternoon.

Employees told officers that the grandfather, 49-year-old Timothy Moore, who was not authorized to pick up the child, walked into the day care. They said he was concerned about the child's health, as he was notified she was suffering from an asthma attack.

However, a worker tells Channel 6 News that Moore disconnected a breathing treatment device which was being used on the girl, and said he was taking off with her. They say he had a knife in his hand; however, he did not threaten them with it.

They drove off in a truck, headed for Immanual Hospital. That's where Moore was arrested for use of a weapon to commit a felony, second-degree assault and kidnapping. Police say the girl was uninjured.

Channel 6 News spoke with Moore's girlfriend, Felicia Calloway. She is the mother of the 4-year-old's father.

Calloway said the girl was having an asthma attack and when the day care contacted the child's mother, the mother indicated she was too busy to come and handle the situation.

That's when the grandfather stepped in. Calloway said he only wanted to assure his grandaughter received medical treatment, believing that her mother would not take the appropriate steps.

Calloway said the girl was having an asthma attack and when the day care contacted the child's mother, the mother indicated she was too busy to come and handle the situation.

she sounds like a grade A bitch! asthma is not to be played around with...i dont agree with gramp's tactics kidnapping the kid but he DID take her to the ER!! maybe he just shoulda stayed on site at the daycare and called 911 for EMT's to treat the baby, then he wouldnt have gotten into this mess

The story indicates she was already attached to some 'breathing treatment device'. It sounds like the daycare was extremely well prepared to deal with the problem. If mom said she was too busy, she may have felt the situation didn't warrant the level of panic that the (step)grandfather went on to exhibit. I mean, what was the knife about? If the girl needed to be taken the hospital and asked the grandmother or grandfather to take care of it, she only needed to notify the daycare that they were coming; or to ask the daycare to get her to a hospital. Daycares can do that, or should be able to, in an emergency.

Why are we believing the girlfriend of a man who takes a knife to a daycare and is the baby daddy momma? How is Moore the child's grandfather? The daddy of the baby momma and the momma of the baby daddy hooked up? I'm so confused.

His name was Timothy Moore. The article says:

Moore's girlfriend, Felicia Calloway [is] the mother of the 4-year-old's father.

Sounds to me like he probably wasn't related at all, even by marriage. Unless maybe Calloway and he had been unmarried partners for a long, long time and Calloway's son was his, too. More likely he was a honorary step-grandfather.
