Babysitter Charged With Kidnapping 6-Year-Old Autistic Boy: NYPD

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — The babysitter who disappeared with a 6-year-old autistic boy in Bed-Stuy now faces criminal charges, police said.

Emmanuel Kojalo, 37, was charged with kidnapping and acting in a manner injurious to a child after he disappeared with Devin Monroe around 6 a.m. Saturday morning, said police.

It was not immediately clear where Monroe was found or where Kojalo had taken him, said police.

The boy was last seen outside 717 Madison St. in Bed-Stuy when Kolajo — who has numerous prior arrests that include drug possession and driving without a license — put the boy in the back of his mother’s 2002 Hyundai Elantra and drove away, said police.

The little boy was found in good condition Monday morning and taken to a Woodhull Hospital for evaluation, said police.

Monroe's terrified 38-year-old mother reported her son missing when she went to pick her son up from Kolajo’s home in Sheepshead Bay and found that the two of them were gone, said police.

Kolajo is expected to be arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Tuesday or Wednesday, police said.
