HIDALGO (May 14, 2009)--Lesley Estefania Perez was playing baseball with her older sister and some other children Tuesday night in Hidalgo when a man stepped out of a white pickup, hit her sister on the head and grabbed her.

"She was taken by force," said Hidalgo Police Capt. Robert Vela.

An Amber Alert was issued early Wednesday for the kidnapped girl.

She’s believed to be with an Hispanic man in his 30s who’s driving a 1990s white Ford F-150 pickup truck with Texas license plates, police said.

The man is about 5-foot-7, weighs about 190 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair.

He was wearing a dark shirt when he was last seen.

The girl is 3 ½ feet and has brown hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen wearing green shorts and a green striped shirt with a white collar.

She has a small scar on her right eyebrow and a birthmark on the upper part of one of her legs.

She was wearing Hello Kitty earrings.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hidalgo Police Department at (956) 843-2737.

Last night my son played a trick on me, he was hiding behind the front door for 15min while i called his name desperately looking for him. He has never done that before and that was the worst feeling a mother can ever feel. For this little girls family you are in my thoughts and prayers and in this hard time i pray God keeps his arms around you until your little girls is returned.

I know its sad, but too many parents depend on their kids to watch their younger siblings, and kids are not Babysitters!
