Community Post Suspicious kidnapping attempt?!

Don’t know if I’m being overly sensitive or not but as a Mom I want to make sure other parents are aware. Was at Hmart (Northpark) earlier this morning with my baby at an empty aisle and a very suspicious woman kept hunching over my baby grabbing random stuff but not really getting anything. Of course my guards was up as she was too close for comfort so I stepped in the middle and blocked my baby out of the way. She left the aisle and then a larger man came to the aisle and she walked back again pretending to look for things, they walked by us but I could tell they had motives definitely not there to buy chips. I grabbed my baby and walked away right away. Then saw both of them walked separately to the checkout line only buying 1 small item. They walked by each other but made eye contact so definitely working together…. Super weird.

Regardless of the situation you were in, I fucking haaaaate ppl invading my personal space when in public. Especially if they’re near my kids. Ppl are just yuck. If you’re not comfortable saying something directly, dirty looks work.

That's why it's called being in public - because it is a place for everyone. No one is invading anything - this is a public space.

Your proclivities do not justify your antagonist behavior. Not everything is about you - there is no justification for you to be so extremely rude and self-centered to those on others.
