Lang reportedly walked right in to Smith’s home through the front door in broad daylight while she and her children were upstairs. Initially, Smith reportedly entered Smith’s bedroom, telling her that she took the two young boys in the home, ages 3 and 6, from him and he was there to claim them.

Smith told WSB-TV, “That’s when I kind of just lost it a little bit.”  Smith reportedly grabbed the suspect — who at this point allegedly placed one of the boy’s backpacks over his head — hit, and then pushed him, wrestling the backpack from Lang. After Smith says she said a few “choice words” with him, she forcibly put him out of her house.

The 33-year-old suspect reportedly fled from Smith’s home, running down the street. when neighbor Jean-Claude Thomas heard the frantic Mom yelling, “My kids, my  kids.” Thomas knew something was wrong, so he reportedly hightailed it by foot after Lang, who ran in to a fast-food restaurant and actually sat at a table.

Shortly after, Thomas captured the suspect and held on to him until police arrived. Thomas explained his heroics to WSB-TV, “We’re neighbors, we have to do the right thing, we couldn’t just let him get away.”
