Littleton, MA (The Weekly Vice) - Daniel O'Brien, a 32-year-old Virginia man was arrested Friday after he allegedly attempted to kidnap a 12-year-old Littleton girl in a quest to get her to love him and then have babies with him.
According to Littleton police, O'Brien met the young girl on a website where people can post their hopes and goals called 43things.com. The girl posted that she wanted to run away from home and never get caught.
O'Brien, posing as a 25-yer-old, emailed the girl offering to help in her quest, despite knowing her age.
Investigators say he made plans to travel to Littleton by train and take the girl back to VA to live with him and his mother.
O'Brien’s plans came to light when the girl's parents caught her attempting to bring extra clothes and cash to school. After checking e-mail exchanges between the girl and O’Brien, the parents learned the two had been communicating for a couple of months. Police were notified immediately.
Police arrested O'Brien when his train arrived at Littleton. He had two one-way tickets back to Virginia in his possession. O'Brien told police that he was going to bring her home to "kiss her, lick her and suck her and get her to love him and have babies together."
O'Brien was jailed on charges of attempted kidnapping and reckless endangerment of a minor. His bail was set at $50,000.
Investigators say O'Brien also contacted two other young girls in New York and Tennessee.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
His brutal honesty amazes and sickens me. Where are the attempted sexual abuse charges? Thank God the parents had a good eye for detail and stopped a terrible thing from happening to this girl. He seems pretty sick especially since he still lives with his mother....

I looked at his mugshot and now I can't get that 'dueling banjo's" song out of my head.
i guess one of his 43 things was to rape a 12 year old girl...
I don't think this mongoloid should be breeding at all, based on his picture.
Jail may be the safest place for this guy. Well take that back, perhaps not.
I looked at the 43things site. Seems like the most pointless website. WELL, ONE of the most. Why would anyone need to broadcast their plans to strangers? Weirdos.
50K, WTH? This psycho was in transit. If the parents hadn’t found them out he would be having his way with her right now. This is one knucklehead that never needs to see daylight again.
This guy just looks freaky!! Thank god the parents put a stop to this before he could get to that little girl!!!
I wonder whether his mother knew/approved of the "plan"...?
He looks like an inbred freak of nature to me....I bet that home would have looked wonderful to that teen 5 minutes into meeting this moron...gross....
Kidnapping so easy, a caveman could do it.... Really look at this animal www.nbc12.com/Global/story.asp?S=11559717
The guy is almost certainly retarded, and horribly lonely.
I feel bad for him, really ...
Anonymous, I have to wonder if it's always the same person using that name, because honest to God, I disagree with your comments like every single time. Not putting you down - to each his own - but man, do we ever see things differently!
Yeah, the Dueling Banjo's thing did come to mind, then it got a little Norman Batesey... the worst of it, to me, was his description of what he wanted to do to her. I mean, reading those words then seeing that face -- geez, that's just hard to handle.
If this had been one of my daughters, I just -- well, first of all, did she know what he looked like? I mean, things would have to really suck at home to make a girl want to run to THAT.
And if she didn't, and I found out this freak wanted to do *that* to one of my girls, I think I'd kind of go batshiat crazy, honestly. I've never seen anyone that repulsive wanting to do -- oh geez. It's the stuff of nightmares, it truly is.
Very good that the parents noticed the things missing from their daughter (clothes and money, I'm not sure I'd notice if mine had taken extras with them to school, to be honest.) Well done.
Yeah, he's gross looking, but that's because he's retarded, and why he's so lonely.
Read what he told the police, guilelessly ... he didn't just want to kiss and suck her, he wanted her to love him, and have his babies.
I'm NOT saying he shouldn't be punished, or that it wouldn't have been bad news had he met up with her .... just that the "lock him up, throw away the key, the hideous ugly monster" type comments are sad shit.
Opinions are like asses, everyone has one and most smell like crap....WalkenFan bite me...
i wonder if this stuff happens as much outside of america. I feel like we breed more freaky, licky sucky child touchers than anywhere else!
No Polaris… unfortunately it is common all around the world. Fortunately it is illegal in this country though. Many countries either have no laws or do not enforce laws protecting children from this type of pedophiliac. Since it is illegal we see it in the news all the time, but elsewhere it isn’t an issue, so it gets overlooked, very sad.
I used to work with the guy and his mother. Neither of them is of completely sound mind, and she has another son who is apparently normal and tries to keep his distance. I honestly didn't think he was capable of hatching such a plot, but when one of the guys from work pointed the story out, I recognized his face immediately. I'll be talking to another former co-worker later this morning who might be able to give me more info.
Wow ANON! What a jerk! Why speak to anyone like that? And then you hide behind your anonymity. If you are brave enough to be so rude, you should be brave enough to give a name. But, I have a feeling you are not as brave and candid as you believe you are!
why is this under ny? its says ma?? hmmm
Because he traveled to Littleton, Mass. Not Littleton, New York. There are several cities in the U.S. named Littleton
