## She pushed past the staff
Green Township police say Jodi Littlefield, 34, forced her way into Arches Oak Hills Childcare on Thursday and took her 5-year-old son.
## Across the lawn, gone
Employees told her not to come in. She grabbed the boy anyway, then sped over the lawn in her vehicle while bystanders tried to stop her.
## 500 feet, by court order
A domestic violence civil protection order had already ruled her a danger to the child. She was allowed only strict, limited contact.
## Spotted near Mount Adams
Officers put out a countywide alert. About an hour later, Cincinnati police found her car.
## She would not pull over
Littlefield refused to stop at first. When she did, officers used a Taser on her before making the arrest.
## The boy is safe
He was found unharmed and returned to his father. She faces felony abduction, burglary and child endangerment across two jurisdictions.
## Key takeaway

A civil protection order is only as strong as the people willing to enforce it, and daycare staff are the first line.
