New ways to kidnap Children.....BE CAREFULL

Zeenat · Mar 23, 2009

hi ladies,
this was sent by my SIL. Just wanted to share with all moms.

Wanted to share something that happened today while shopping at Carrefour.

A mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned around to find her 4 yr old daughter was missing.
I was standing there right beside her and she was calling her daughter with no luck.

I asked a man who worked at Carrefour to announce it over the loudspeaker. He did and left me he immediately walked right past me when I asked and went to a pole where there was a phone.

He made an announcement for all the doors and gates to be locked a code something. So they locked all the doors at once.

This took all of 3 minutes after I asked the guy to do this. They found the little girl 5 minutes later in bathroom still drugged. Her head was half shavedan d she was dressed in her underwear with a bag of clothes a razor and wig sitting on the floor beside her to make her look different. Whoever this person
was took the little girl brought her into the bathroom shaved half her head and undressed her in a matter of less than 10 minutes.

This makes me shake to no end. Please keep a close eye on your kids when in big places where it's easy for you to get separated like Shopping Malls. It only took a few minutes to do all of that.

Another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door. I am still in shock that some sick person could do this let alone in a matter of minutes. The days are over when our little ones could run rampant all over the place and nothing worse would happen than them annoying people.

The little girl is fine. Thank God for fast workers who didn't take any chances.

Zeenat,

That was really nice of you to share.You must be all the more shocked as the whole incident happened in front of you. Parents should be really careful. I take my daughter to the park almost daily. I will be always with her but i see most of the moms/nanny's are busy chatting with each other or busy reading books. Why dont you put this under indians in UAE Forum.

Thank you so much for enlighting us Zeenat. It is a real shock that such things still happen. I have heard of such scary episodes long back but to know it could happen anyday to our child is scaring me to death. I cant imagine how scared your SIL would have been being present in that situation. World is still not a safe place for we mommies to be relaxed. Dearest mommies, Lets be more and more cautious while out with our children.. cannot taken ANY chances! Dont trust strangers who seem friendly too!
