Ohio woman Lisa Nacrelli posed as CPS to abduct 4-year-old: video shows

Shocking video shows the moment an Ohio woman posing as a Child Protective Services agent allegedly tried to abduct her 4-year-old neighbor as he was playing in his front yard Saturday.

Lisa Nacrelli, 44, was hit with criminal child enticement, burglary and impersonating an officer for allegedly carrying out the demented scheme, Norwood Police Department announced.

Home surveillance footage shows that the young boy was sitting on an orange bicycle just a few feet from his Cincinnati suburb front door when the stranger approached and immediately placed her hand on his back.

The woman — identified by cops as Nacrelli — looks over her shoulder toward the house before bending back over the boy while “talking to him and rubbing him,” the boy’s father said in an affidavit.

The woman can be seen repeatedly running her hands through the child’s hair and on his back while he avoids meeting her eye.

The boy’s parents claim Nacrelli asked their son to come home with her at least three times and told the boy she had a “really pretty car seat” for him inside her car.

“Who are you?” the boy asks, though the woman’s answer is unclear.

After nearly 3 minutes of being inappropriately stroked by the stranger, the boy hops off his bike, throws his hands up and retreats to the house, stating that he has to go get his mother.

“She had made my 4-year-old son uncomfortable to where he said ‘I want to go get my mom,’” the father wrote.

The woman can be heard telling the boy that her name is Lisa and to tell his mother that she’s from CPS.

She then expectantly waits outside for the mother while calmly pulling from an electronic smoking device.

Nacrelli — who lives just one block over from the family — then allegedly doubled down on the lie, asking the boy’s mother to be let inside the home to conduct a CPS inspection in response to a complaint filed against her and her husband.

“She shows me a badge that says her name,” Jaimie Spradlin told WCPO-TV. “She proceeds to rattle off my children’s names.”

Spradlin and her husband allowed Nacrelli into their home, but became suspicious after she left without leaving any contact information

They contacted police immediately after watching the “gut-wrenching” footage of the stranger touching their son.

“Your intention was clearly to take my son, to convince him to walk down the street with you to this house, which I didn’t even know you lived this close which is terrifying in of itself,” Spradlin said.

Nacrelli claimed in a handwritten statement that she had been drunk during the time of the incident, but had only been acting in the best interest of the boy.

“I had been drinking since I woke up that morning,” she wrote in the affidavit.

“I walked to Kroger to get more beer on the walk home I saw a young child that I felt wasn’t being supervised so in an attempt to scare the parent I pretended to be from CPS.”

Nacrelli has had other run-ins with cops while under the influence, court records show.

She was charged with disorderly conduct in 2005 after she “recklessly caused harm to another while intoxicated” and disorderly conduct because of public intoxication in 2011.

Nacrelli has not yet entered a plea and is being held in the Hamilton County jail on a $10,000 bond.
