NORTH SUBURBAN CHICAGO FAMILY SUES VOLKSWAGEN FOR HOLDING UP SEARCH FOR
KIDNAPPED TODDLER

North suburban Chicago family sues Volkswagen for holding up search for
kidnapped toddler 01:01





CHICAGO (CBS)-- A Libertyville family is suing Volkswagen for refusing to help
police track their stolen car, while a kidnapped 2-year-old was in the back
seat.

Back in February, two carjackers in that BMW ran over 34-year-old Taylor
Shepherd, who was pregnant, after she pulled into her driveway. They stole her
Volkswagen with her 2-month-old son inside.



The boy was later found safe in a parking lot in Waukegan.

During the search, police contacted the car's manufacturer, asking them to track
the car through the GPS. They refused to help until someone paid the $150 GPS
subscription fee.

"This is an abducted 2-year-old and the response was there is nothing they can
do this is their policy," Dep. Cheif Chris Covelli with the Lake County
Sheriff's Office said.

By the time that fee was paid, the child had already been found, abandoned in a
nearby parking lot.

Volkswagen said back in February they have a procedure for emergency requests
that, "they have executed this process successfully in previous incidents.
Unfortunately, in this instance, there was a serious breach of the process."

should've paid their bill to the GPS tracking company... if the family didn't
think their safety was concern enough to lapse on their bill its their fault..
who else do they hold at fault for their family safety and not themselves

Why didn’t they just pay it! Sometimes when balances or fees are due, computer
systems have an account hold that won’t process anything until it’s paid.
