This was posted on another forum I go to:
My husband, 3 kids and I went to Wal-Mart last night because I needed to get a few lunch items and snacks for the boys' lunches. Well, while I was in the grocery area, my husband took the boys to the toy department to keep them occupied. My oldest, who is 8, went to the next aisle, while my husband stayed with the younger two on a different aisle. A few minutes later a nice lady took Joey to my husband, and told him that a man was trying to get Joey to go with him. She said the man ran when she walked up. According to Joey the man was trying to get him to follow him to the electronics department. My son did the right thing and kept telling him "no". Lord knows what would have happened if that lady hadn't walked up! Joey said he knows to scream if anyone tries to take him.
My husband told the person in Customer Service, and she said that the security people will look at the surveillance footage in the morning. I don't know what they can really do about it, though. If that man has tried it once, he will certainly try it again!! My husband and I are really shaken up over this. I couldn't stop hugging and kissing Joey last night. I am so thankful nothing happened to him. I told him to ALWAYS stay in sight of me or his Dad from now on.
The police were called and the incident was reported and the police are invesigtation...
That is just so scary and is a warning to every parent who takes their children out in public. DO NOT let your children out of your sight! Never let them wander off! I watched mine like a hawk when they were little and we were out in public and that was in the days before all these children were being abducted. PLEASE! PLEASE! Watch your children! All it takes is a moment......
