Baru-baru ini ada yang kirimin kita cerita penculikan anak di Carrefour. Ternyata
beritanya bohong. Ini bantahan resmi dari Carrefour berikut cuplikan urband legend-nya
dari Amrik. So, kita gak boleh cepat percaya ya, apalagi kalo ceritanya dramatis. Bisa
jadi itu perang bisnis terselubung dari saingannya Carrefour.

Wanted to share something that happened today while shopping at Sam's
club. A mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned around to
find her 4 yr. old daughter was missing, I was standing
there right beside her, well she was calling her daughter and
no luck. I asked a man who worked at Sam's to announce it over the loud
speaker for Katie.Well, he did, and let me say he walked past me when I
asked and went to a pole where there was a phone right
there to make his announcement for all doors, and gates to be
locked a code something...so they locked all the doors at once. This
took all of 3 min after I asked the guy to do this. They found the little girl 5 min
later crunched in a bathroom stall, her head was half
shaved, and she was dressed in her underwear with a bag of clothes, a razor, and wig
sitting on the floor besides her. Whoever this person was, took the little girl,
brought her into the bathroom, shaved half her head,
undressed her in a matter of less than 10 min. Makes me shake to no end.
Please keep an eye out for your kids when in shopping places. It only
took a few minutes to do all of this, another 5 min and she would have
been out the door...I am still in shock some sick person could do this, let alone in a
matter of minutes...The little girl is fine... thank God for
fast workers who didn't take any chances.
Thanks for reading. Please keep praying for our children. Especially now
that school is about to start. Just reading
this was enough for me. I'm making a pledge to keep watch for all kids,
young and old! We know those little kids slip by us so fast when we are
in a store. Especially when they see toys or candy. Everything can
be replaced but a life. No parent would want to lose a child in no way form or
fashion!
