Lost Children In Stores


Now, to all you parents out there. Lets agree on some things here; If you go to the Grocery store, Department store, Outlet store.....or ANY KIND of store for that matter. Make sure that you know that your children are close to you!
Don't go into an store and just let your child run freely without your supervision. Anything could happen to them. Someone could openly walk out of the store with your child you not knowing nothing! I work in a department store and a lady and....no two ladies and two little girls(whom looked to be atleast 10 and 11 years old) Came to my register asking if I seen 2 little children......boys, running around the store. The adult didn't ask me if I seen any little boys...one of the little girls asked me....smh and I'm wondering if the lady who was present was the mother of one of the children or either she only knew how to talk or understand so much english and what she understood could not have been much.
So I asked what was the children's name. She gave me the names and I went over to my Supervisor and notified her that 2 little boys were lost in the store. While standing at the counter and listening to my Supervisor call the attention of the shoppers in the store and warn the children to come to the service desk, I glance over at the woman(whom I assume were the parent) and she's over there laughing!!.... *sigh* Now was I missing something? How can you laugh about your child missing???
So I tell my Supervisor, how can she be laughing and her child is lost??....smh ignorant. Keep a hold on your children when out shopping. Or if you know that you will be in the store for quite some time, leave your children at home so that'll way, you wouldn't have to worry about your child wandering off or playing in the store like they are at the park or something and you'll know they are safe at home. Hell, if they are too young to be kept at home, have someone in the family or a close friend to watch them. Don't bring them to the store and let them get lost!
But eventually, they found the children.
