    Kill them after torturing more information out of them. Make them beg for death.

    Good outcome to a sad situation that happens way to often.

    I'm frightened by the medieval ways I'd like to torture these animals before they get put down.

    Like maybe nail yer dick to the floor of a wooden box, then light the box on fire. You can pull free but it's gonna' hurt.

    Oh, surprise! That padlock that was on the cage in your truck? It's on the wooden box now.

    It appears that human trafficking is ramping up everywhere I've had 2 encounters in my lifetime with kids... 1st one was about 2 months ago I dropped the wife and my youngest, teenager, at a local Walmart. I usually just drop her off, but she needed a separate pair of eyes. We did have my oldest with us, but he is Autistic and doesn't enjoy large crowds, so the decision was pretty easy. Either way I took my eldest to Costco gas which was about a 10-minute drive from the Walmart, when I filled up, I noticed I had a missed call from the wife and a few text messages. She was urging me to come back, and she needed help with something but didn't go into detail. So, I rushed back as quickly as I could. I texted her I was in the parking lot while turning into the parking lot. No sign of anything besides your normal people in and out of the store. We do coordinate pick up points before we go to a certain location for a quick exit just in case.

    A few minutes later she comes out, and my kid was walking like Frankenstein, stiff and looked pale, first I thought was man he got the bubblies and shit himself. I didn't jump out right away, because of my eldest, didn't want to freak him out so I waited, parked in a spot. They both rushed in once they got near and were both trembling and looking around. I started peppering questions since I didn't know what was going on and they were acting weird.... I didn't move waiting for them to chill out and start answering my questions. Some rando snagging my plate doesn't worry me as it's not attached to my home address, and I don't smog nor take my cars to garages so tracking it would be difficult. Once they settled down, they started describing this guy. He was slender build with whatever clothing he had on, but the kicker is he had a white hat on, reflective sunglasses and what appeared to be a wig, as he would shift it while messing with his hat, witnessed by both. This makes some sense to me, as summertime is in excess of 100 degrees, and Walmart likes to keep it right where you're sweating, but not enough to bitch about it They both claimed he appeared to be casing my son. He was in every section and aisle they would go into, probably about 3-4 arms lengths apart and would constantly look at him. When she called me, they were in the woman's section with a clear view of the exit door, and the cat was right there, probably a couple racks over. This is where my son started feeling faint, I guess he started to panic since they couldn't shake this guy.

    At one point my kid decided to make a break for the door, but his mom was like, no, there's no one out there for you, your dad hasn't responded assuming he was nervous and at certain points weak or faint. Guy was probably Dracula, I joked to break the mood, and he got angry with me saying it wasn't a game. I was taking it seriously, but I had to probe his story. We never saw him leave the store and we waited against my kid's wishes. I wasn't going for a confrontation, but wanted to see what he looked like for future reference in case we crossed paths again, I would know what I'm looking for... I would agree to keep your kids close, technically your spouses as well...

    The wife and I separate quite constantly in any store, I usually take the kids to toys, cuz hells yeahs... I've caught pairs of randos sort of shadow her on both sides of the aisle and would move with her through a few aisles, I usually leave it to a coincidence, but 4 or 5 aisles and she's by herself just a man at each end cap is weird and may be excessive. I will make eye contact with her location and sit outside of an aisle or inside a section. I sometimes walk in the aisle to look at random things in the aisle and watch 1 go, then the other... I'm sure it's a coincidence though.

    Yea - thankfully someone saw and said something - I don't want to say most people wouldn't have done the same in a similar situation - but also know a lot of this is subjective.

    Let's be honest - there is a lot of shit that goes down in truck stops/rest stops - clearly 2-4 year old children are gonna prompt calls - but make that 14-16 year olds and are those calls made (and does anyone respond ?) As a society we are desensitized to all but the most extreme situations at times.

    No need to waste taxpayer funds on extreme punishments - just provide them with accommodations in gen-pop and things will take care of themselves - there's a hierarchy of those in the rehab process and child abuse/coyotes are amongst the lowest of the low - a lot of those being reformed were abused as children and a lot of those whose families arrived in this country from other countries had parents/grandparents who were poorly treated by someone who smuggled them in - and are happy to dispense free justice as a community service to atone for their misdeeds - and a lot of those in charge of monitoring inmates find little reason to become involved.

    That's pretty much the plot to "Lady Vengence".

    If you haven't seen it, it's worth checking out.

    Can confirm the last part.... From one of my nephew's moms that was affiliated with some people. On the streets this one kid walked up to one of her sons and ended him, unfortunately. Kid ended up being eliminated in gen pop by one of her ex that was locked up for life. He wasn't a kiddy fiddler or anything, just pointing out some of advantages and disadvantages of gen pop.

    Sometimes when I see the same person kind of following I think it's the stores undercover security people. But this situation sounds excessive. If that is who this weirdo was than he obviously needs more training. Good on your son and wife for being aware and vigilant!

    I was AP at Target, seriously the pinnacle for AP, LOL. I'm extremely familiar with the process as I was promoted to Senior AP, just short of APS aka the undercovers and was trained for undercover work in uniform. They don't do shit like this, you have to peak through the holes on the endcaps and reposition every so often, assisted by overhead video surveillance and PTZs (Pan, Tilt, Zoom cameras). Company will pay for you to wear raggedy clothing and to blend in with some of the usuals. There is a lot of intricacies to go through, but I doubt they had an issue in the food aisle.

    Always be aware of your surroundings.

    Funny enough, bad guys notice people that are aware and steer away from them. Sort of like, bad guys don’t like well lit places.

    Unfortunately, prosecutors don’t go after these POS’s. Law enforcement will go above and beyond to catch the bad guys…. big let down to them when lawyers (politics) let them go.

    A $.30 piece of justice would be great, but…. Anyway. A 10 day stint in general population in a large jail (with common knowledge of the crime) would take care of things. Although, jail and prison are very different environments.

    I would really like to express my feelings after 26 years of federal LEO service but don’t want to get the political ban hammer on me. There’s sooooo much wrong and people are blind/ shielded from reality.
