hazard Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) for all of you who have children Warning* if you got to Asda with your kids dont let them wonder off or go to the toilet alone! 2 foreign women were caught in the toilets yesterday shaving a little girls hair off and dressing her in boys clothes trying to kidnap her this was in Gloucester but also happened in Poole last week!

Goosey Lucy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Something similar happened in a M&S store in Coventry about 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 the cov one is/was a myth but it still keeps poping up from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Good idea not to let little ones of a shave and kidnapable size & age go off to the loo on their own anyway Older kids would let the world know they were unimpressed I'd have thought but smaller ones are easier to scare into silence Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I heard the same story about two years ago about two foreign women in a shopping mall doing the same thing, I remember googling it and nothing coming up. I hope it is an urban myth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Good idea not to let little ones of a shave and kidnapable size & age go off to the loo on their own anyway Older kids would let the world know they were unimpressed I'd have thought but smaller ones are easier to scare into silence Sha x I would second that. There was a real incident(albeit not a kidnapping one) a little while ago with an eleven year old girl in a Sainsbury's loo on her own and that definitely wasn't an urban myth. I won't go into details here but you may well remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Remember that one - nasty incident. Always go with them if you can - even if it means testing every loo seat in the blooming room. Or having to go to the loo when you know she has only just been but "this one's different". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Even I don't like going into loos on my own! I hate going the loo in Wetherspoons, as they are usuallu upstairs & off a landing area. Any bloke could follow you easily. I try & go the loo with someone whenever I can.
