Even if you do not have little kids, please read this. You will never know who you might save. This is a short true story of a child kidnap trick that happened to a parent while shopping at Carrefour, Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
I wanted to share something that happened today while shopping at Carrefour. A mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned around to find her 4 years old daughter was missing. I was standing there right beside her, and she was calling her daughter with no luck.
I asked a man who worked at Carrefour to announce it over the loud-speaker. He did, and left me, he immediately walked right past me when I asked and went to a pole where there was a phone. He made an announcement for all the doors and gates to be locked, a code or something. So they locked all the doors at once.
This took all of 3 minutes after I asked the guy to do this. They found the little girl 5 minutes later in a bathroom stall drugged. 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 beside her, to make her look different.
Whoever this person was, took the little girl, brought her into the bathroom, shaved half her head, and undressed her in a matter of less than 10 minutes. This makes me shake to no end.
Please keep a close eye on your kids when in big places where it’s easy for you to get separated like Shopping Malls. It only took a few minutes to do all of that. Another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door.
I am still in shock that some sick person could do this, let alone in a matter of minutes. The days are over when our little ones could run rampant all over the place and nothing worse would happen then them annoying people.
The little girl is fine. Thank God for fast workers who didn’t take any chances.
Just Remember how sick people can be out there who does this kind of unspeakable act to children who are vulnerable!

I really appreciate your concern this will let parents be more careful next time whenever they will bring their young children in malls.
Thank God that the management of the mall didn’t take any chances to find the little girl and they had stopped the kidnapper’s clever plan.
