“My 13 year old daughter suffered an attempted kidnapping recently and she was deeply affected. She too, suffers from PTSD”
That would give me PTSD. I have a daughter around that age What happened?
We were in the Target store together a couple of months ago in the early evening and while I browsed the DVD section, my daughter wanted to go to the Kid's books section two aisles over. Within one or two minutes, she ran up to me, skin pale, eyes moving all over the place and she couldn't speak.
I kept asking her what happened and she finally was able to get out that a man tried to grab her but she saw him coming at her and ran to find me.
I asked her if the man was still there and she said that he was, so we headed towards the kid's book aisle but I spotted someone watching us to our right, , about 12 feet away. I asked my daughter if that was him and she said yes. I turned to face him and I asked him if he tried to snatch my daughter. He said "don't make a big deal out of it" and ran out of the store.
I couldn't chase him because I didn't want to leave my daughter's side.
My daughter has nightmares and asks me every evening "what would you do if someone takes me"?
