一名犹他州母亲在另一名家长被指控绑架她儿子后首次发声,她表示儿子曾被对方孩子欺凌。
安伯莉·科拉佐在接受CBS新闻独家采访时表示,她的儿子克里斯托弗在2025年9月发生的事件后,”很长一段时间都会对他人产生信任问题”。
法庭文件称,香农·图富加在科拉佐的儿子骑自行车时将其拦下,强行将他塞进自己的车内,并威胁要让她的丈夫殴打他。
这名11岁的男孩称,他当时正准备向图富加道歉。
“我本想说,对不起……我挡了你的路。但当我正要开口时,她却说,’不,操,上车,我带你走。’”
检察官称,图富加开车将克里斯托弗带到自己家中,并强迫他向她声称被其欺凌的孩子道歉。
科拉佐表示,这一情况源于图富加的孩子与克里斯托弗此前的一次冲突。
“他说,’妈妈,我叫了她……一个粗鲁的名字,我不是故意的,但我不知道该怎么办,她不肯放过我,’”科拉佐转述儿子的话说。
克里斯托弗称,事件发生后他出现了焦虑和情绪困扰。
图富加面临绑架儿童和严重虐待儿童的重罪指控。据普罗沃市学区称,邻市正在调查此案以避免利益冲突。
图富加的辩护团队在一份声明中表示,这些指控”并不准确”,并补充道,”很遗憾我们现在必须捍卫自己孩子的安全。”
她的辩护团队将此次事件归咎于”传统家庭价值观的侵蚀”。
科拉佐认为这一情况本可避免,她表示:”一次简单的对话本可以解决这个问题。”
Utah mom responds after another parent allegedly kidnapped her child over bullying allegations

A Utah mom is opening up after another parent is accused of kidnapping her son, who she says bullied her child.
Amberlee Collazo told CBS News in an exclusive interview that her son, Kristopher, is “going to have trust issues with people for so long” after the incident, which occurred in September 2025.
Court documents allege Shannon Tufuga stopped Collazo’s son while he was on his bike, forced him into her car and threatened to have her husband beat him up.
The 11-year-old said he was going to apologize to Tufuga when she stopped him.
“I was gonna say, sorry that … I got in your way. But when I was about to say that, she was like, ‘No, F you, get in my car, I’m taking you.’”
Prosecutors allege Tufuga drove Kristopher to her home and forced him to apologize to her child, whom she claimed he bullied.
Collazo said the situation stems from an earlier encounter Tufuga’s child had with Kristopher.
“He says, ‘Mom, I called her … a rude name and I didn’t mean to, but I didn’t know what else to do. She won’t leave me alone,’” Collazo said her son told her.
Kristopher said he now suffers from anxiety and emotional distress following the incident.
Tufuga faces felony charges of child kidnapping and aggravated child abuse. According to the Provo City School District, a neighboring city is investigating the case to avoid a conflict of interest.
In a statement, Tufuga’s defense team said the allegations are “not accurate” and added, “It is unfortunate that we find ourselves in a position where we must defend the safety of our children.”
Her defense team blamed the incident on “an erosion of traditional family values.”
Collazo thinks the situation was avoidable, saying, “A simple conversation could have fixed this problem.”
