  • Wow...I'm Still In Shock

    Today was a fairly normal day at work for the first couple of hours. All of a sudden out of nowhere I heard a kid screaming "Let go of me!" I look up and a woman is walking towards the front of the store with a screaming boy. She is not hurting him. She is walking quickly while holding his hand obviously pulling him a bit. He keeps resisting and screaming so she picked him up.

    He then screams, "Help! I'm being kidnapped!" The woman had a shocked look on her face. The store manager came running up along with a store security person. I couldn't hear what they were saying after that, but they all walked up to the front of the store. Security refused to let them leave. A few minutes later the police arrived at the store.

    It turned out that the woman was actually the boys mother. She had refused to buy him something and when he started throwing a fit she was taking him out of the store. They boy was just screaming like that because he was mad at his mother.

    I hate to think about what kind of trouble that boy probably got into tonight.

    I feel sorry for that mother. and I know that if I had done something like that when I was little I'd still feel it today.

    But at least your store manager responded. And I hope the kid gets way in trouble for crying wolf.

      Actually, I am hoping it was rather severe.

        At least the mom was acting as a parent by removing the screaming kid from the store. The kid's a little shit though.

          I remember on a trip to Los Angeles with my aunt and uncle, for some reason me and my cousin thought itd be funny to put "Help, feed us!" signs in the window. A stern "THAT IS NOT FUNNY PUT IT DOWN" was enough.

            Almost like the time I heard a kid screaming bloody murder because his Dad was breaking the toys he had been asked to pick up and that two of us carriers had tripped over while trying to deliver. The toys were getting tossed.

              *twitch* How do kids get like that?! I don't get it!!! I know plenty of horrid children, but I also know the parents/grandparents are to blame. When I hear about a kid doing something like THAT when the mother seems like a normal, proper parent....

              This world scares me. It really does.

                My parents may have punished me when I was growing up, but never harshly. After an incident like that, however..I would be scared to go home! I wouldn't see the light of day for weeks after something like that.

                  About 3 or 4 years ago, one of fellow employees had a problem with her kids screaming "Child Abuse" every time she wanted them to do something they didn't want, or refused to buy them anything. Needless to say that habit was quickly broken.

                    My cousin's son did that to her once for not buying him the name-brand sweatshirt he wanted.

                    My sister (the one I posted about regarding her selling the stuff she was supposed to be storing for me) was also in the habit of reporting my dad (technically her step dad, though he legally adopted her when he married mom) for child abuse when she didn't get her way!

                      When I was in 6th grade, I made friends with a new girl in town who didn't like the fact that I had rules and guidelines to obey with my parents. Granted, my mother has always been sort of a hothead since she's been an adult, but never abusive or anything to an illegal extent.

                      She thought it would be a great idea for me to call up child services and tell the nice people about how awful my mother is and to get me into a foster home with a better family.

                      Well, I did. And the lady called back and spoke with my mom. This was obviously before child services got completely loco and went crazy assuming. The lady realized that my mom was not abusive and, ohhh boy, as soon as that phone call was over, let's just say I didn't get to leave my room except for school, eating, and the bathroom for a LOOOOONG time.

                        One of my stepkids threatened me with that. ONCE.

                        Her father told her, in front of me, that if CPS showed up because of anything she said, she'd better hope they kept her. Because if they ever gave her back, anything she told them would suddenly come true.

                        'Course this is also the man who told her he'd sell her to a Saudi friend of his if she didn't shape up. Didn't help, from what I hear.

                          Oh hell no! If my kid did that to me, two words would pop in my mind:

                          Boarding School!


                          LOL, jk. (or maybe not jk....hmmmm)

                          Wow, that poor mom. Bet she needed a strong drink once she got home!

                            If my kid ever did that to me he'd be missing some chicklets. No way would I tolerate that for one second.
