Parents need to be aware of this.....predators stalk dept stores looking for kids....that’s how John Walsh’s son was taken.
His granddad was holding his hand....somehow he got free and within seconds he was gone.....it was a horrible ending for Adam Walsh.
And not just adult predators. Look at the James Bulger case out of the UK. What a tragedy.
I haven’t heard that before?
I was living in Florida at the time......the story we had is the mom left him in front of the videos at Sears while she shopped for lamps in the same store.
When she returned ....he was gone.
At your prompting, I keyword searched this story and they seem to say that Adam’s mom let him play video games in the electronics department while she shopped elsewhere in the department store. A young security guards asked the teenaged kids who were playing video games with or next to Adam to leave because they were causing a ruckus. It appears Adam went with the flow, leaving the store and found himself outside one of the store entrances where he was lured into a Cadillac by the monster who killed him.
Still, don’t take your eyes off ‘em. It’s probably worse now that we have a “do whatever your evil heart desires” society today.
