When the loss prevention officer confronted the couple, the pair left the store and drove away in a red SUV.
The child was not injured, and police are still investigating the incident.
It’s hard to know where to start in trying to teach a four-year-old how to defend themselves if someone tries to take them.
But you can teach your child that if someone is trying to take them all manners go out of the window and they must scream, yell, kick, or put up any kind of fight.
Thank goodness for the loss prevention officer being there to stop these two people. Even the best parents can’t keep their eyes on their child all of the time.
Please share this story with everyone you know to raise awareness and be vigilant.
