Abducted boy back home after tourist snaps photo
Thank you Barb for being alert and following through with your instinct.
Great Story!
How long could that guy be living down at that hotel before the money ran out?
Strange indeed.
Yanno, people ought to give more creedence to “parental radar”.
I was going up the escalators into the huge mall near us a year or two ago. We were four, myself, my wife and another couple- rushing to get up to buy movie tickets. I see this boy of perhaps…8? He’s going down the escalator, not near an adult. Odd, but not really odd- till I looked at his face. I watched him get to the bottom, look around, then turn and get right back on going up. I waited at the top for him.
He was totally lost, his grandparents had ( incredibly ) lost track of him amongst 5 other siblings they had with them at the mall. He’d been lost for over a half-hour, and was afraid to talk to the Security personnel. My wife and our friends chided me for being totally paranoid when I said, " Hold up, I wanna talk to this kid, something’s not right".
We got ahold of Mall Security anyway, they PA’d the child’s grandparents and all was fine. I just got a feeling, when I saw his face. He wasn’t crying at all…but he looked out of place, and I did something. ( I’m not trying to suck up for props here, I’m just saying that it was a case of having a bit of parental radar kick in, on a MUCH smaller scale ).
Abby, very positive heartwarming story. How keen of her to take a photo, and move on it upon her return. Kudos to that woman!!
