Still, betcha the attempted kidnapper has a screw or two loose and has a record.

Did it say the kid was talking to the stranger? I have a three year old and I hold her hand in crowded places but if a man ran really fast behind us and grabbed her he certainly could.

DP here.

I didn't see any reports that the kid was talking to a stranger. But even if he was, so what. We don't teach our kids not to talk to strangers. We're not that paranoid.

Wow. You’re really bad at parenting.

Actually you’re using very outdated advice if you teach your kids “stranger danger.” There are much more effective strategies.

Exactly. She’s creating the kid that hides behind her mom’s leg all day long

And then claiming it’s good parenting.

Have you heard of a thing called child trafficking? The pervs want younger and younger victims. He probably is a footman for that devious stuff.

Why do people assume that because he is young, he can’t simply be a perv himself? You do realize that old pedophiles were once young pedophiles, right? Older kids and teens abusing younger kids is very common. I'm not saying that's necessarily what's happening here, but remember that the stereotype of a creepy middle-aged guy wearing dated Jeffrey Dahmer eyeglasses is misleading.

And no one suspected Dahmer. I agree that until more is known you really can't assume anything

The Milwaukee police caught Dahmer red handed with a kid he later killed and ate. They didn’t care despite bystanders protesting. The officer at the scene was fired, then reinstated with back pay, then became the president of the police union. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Balcerzak

The above link didn't work for me. Story is pretty bare bones.

People think human trafficking does not happen in our neighborhoods.

But clearly it does.

Yeah it does, but kidnappings in broad daylight are not human trafficking.

Yeah that struck me as really strange too

That was my first thought at the photo.

The guy could have just grabbed him. Way to victim blame.
