Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 not sure either way.. id say im 65% convinced he was attempting to abduct the child... 35% element of doubt that it was mistaken identity... my own dad nearly accidentally walked out a shop with a girl who could have been my twin... same mad curly hair and wearing a dress identical to what i had at home (i was 5 at the time) .... he just grabbed her hand and headed to the checkout telling her off for ignoring him when i stopped him telling him "thats not me daddy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 And why has no one mentioned the mother casually meandering about not taking notice of the most precious thing in the world?? Shopping center's are the worst place to take your eye off the ball so to speak. Think she had a lucky escape (the mother) tbh. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Socks is bang on, if you seriously thought a kid was lost the first thing you would do is ask the child if he/she is lost, not grab his/her hand and speed off... I have a 4 year old daughter which has been learning about strangers! I just showed her this clip about 5 times and told her that man is a stranger! The hardest thing to teach them is that nasty strangers look just like normal people. I'm in the same boat,the worst part for me is having to basically take away their innocence. they wave at and want to talk to strangers,but I've got to try to convince them to stay away from them and that some of them are very bad people.

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 And why has no one mentioned the mother casually meandering about not taking notice of the most precious thing in the world? Fair point, Stabs. But; Do ye not remember the little " Reins " mothers used to be able to put on their toddlers? Little chest harness with a loop lead coming off the back of it. Kiddie couldn't get into the road. Could barely trip and fall flat on its face. Let alone be led away by a stranger. But, oh no! The 70's put paid to all that! Lunatics started screaming that it was demeaning to childrens Rights! Kiddies shouldn't be 'dragged' around like chattels. This was Child Abuse!!! And those c***s went on to spawn Thompson and Venables. Then, the same c***s screamed that putting those poor, misunderstood Children away from society, for the rest of their warped and unnatural f**king existences was ..... World's going to hell in a rotting hand cart. Said that for years, mate. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The worst part of it is that if a nonce wanted to take a kid, they would just say something like "hello, your mum asked me to pick you up today" and smile. Its that betrayal of trust and their intentions alone that should see them hang. Let alone if they did actually harm the kid. I think there is more out there than most people would like to think. Maybe not that would actually do something but think about doing it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Still get them, mate. Still smack the back of a recalcitrant, screaming childs legs, in public too. It's just that some loony do f**king gooder is Far more likely to emerge from the ether and remonstrate with ye, now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,923 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 When my daughter first learnt to walk we used them for a while because she wanted to enjoy her new found freedom and it stopped her from actually falling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,307 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I can't tell from this 30 second clip what the old guy's intentions were, and I'd reserve any judgement until I could hear what he had to say to the child's mother and understand the context of what he's done. The mother didn't seem to be overly concerned by his actions....like her reaction wasn't one of a parent who'd just spotted their child being abducted! For me the old cnut is innocent until proven otherwise. Some have also commented on the mother's lack of attention to the kid. She must've taken her eyes off it for all of about two seconds FFS!!! Call social services!?!?!? When I'm unlucky enough to be dragged round the shops and am sat outside New feckin Look for half an hour, I can't stop my two talking to strangers (especially my 4 year old who wants to say hiya & talk to everyone), and nor would I want to. Just because there are a few sick fcuks about, I'm not having my kids growing up suspicious & scared of every person they don't know. They'd become 'victims' of these beasts without ever even meeting one. There are a few bad & devious b*****ds out there that'll hurt kids given half a chance, but let's not forget that there are many, many more decent ordinary people. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 To tough to call that one.....but it's a clear indication into how the world is going now. Better just to ignore a lost child nowadays than be labelled a nonce. My Grandads brother (87) was just telling me he was driving home one day, pishing off rain, and he noticed the wee lassie who lives down the street walking home soaking wet. He saw her, and she saw him but he kept driving. The wee lassie must have said to her Mum and she said to Wull " why did you not stop and give her a lift?" "No chance" was his reply. Threads like this just show he was right to keep driving. Sad world we live in. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
