Mom responds after a parent allegedly kidnapped her son over bullying claims
Shannon Tufuga is accused of kidnapping Amberlee Collazo's son, driving him to her home and forcing him to apologize to her child, whom she claimed he bullied.
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.
