If someone wants to drive up and take your kid, they don't need a Walmart job to do it..
I mean... I guess that would help catch complete morons who crime while on the clock.
So, probably quite a few actually.
The grand majority of instances of this happening are done by relatives. Not Joe worker delivering groceries.
I'll take the rapists for 500 Alex.
Seriously, you might be fine but there are people out there who aren't necessarily fine.
Single mother ordering groceries because she can't load get the energy up to load the kids in the car to take them down to the local Wally world. Yeah, it's an edge case, but it only takes one and then you've got a multimillion dollar lawsuit.
It's this kind of fear mongering bullshit that got parents scared to let their kids outside. Which then lead to parents having to parent, and they skirted that with iPads and cellphones. Kids are okay to go outside and play, take your stranger danger bullshit somewhere else.
I think you're the one lost in the sauce guy. You might not know this, but people lie. In fact they have a crime specifically for lying, called failure to report. The system is not compulsory, it works on the same punishment system the rest of the crimes do. Acting like everyone's an SO is as dumb as assuming nobody is. However neither of these stances are as dumb as assuming stranger danger is the problem and not uncle kenny.
Geeze are you deliberately obtuse or trolling for funsies? The uncle Kevin remark isn't whataboutism, it's fucking statistics. Family members are the abductors, rapists, and murderers most of the time. Why did I say this, you ask, as a pedant. Well I say it because you and your clown car comrades are playing stranger danger: the satanic panic Boogaloo 2 like it isn't old hat bullshit. Sorry to say but the thoughts in your head aren't all unique little snowflakes. They're all tried, tested and found to be stupid, much like what you've written here. You can hope and pray your corporate overlords would do right by you, but they literally can't, because had you read what I wrote previously before hamfisting your reply you'd realize that people lie. Maybe get off your ass and get groceries if you can get your hands unclenched from your pearls long enough to drive.
Yeah you're just kinda dumb. Learn how to read.
You're not worth my time you silly little child.
You're right, it is nice. :) have a good rest of your day wallowing in whatever it is that's got you all up in your feelings.
Off I see you've never been a single woman and he'd someone creep on you so it never happens. That's outstanding. I'll have to inform the world that that's how it works now.
You can hold your fake apathy, I've seen what people like you cheer for.
You're really misusing that quote.
Lmao assume what you want of me you myopic clown.
We have schools. Busses full of kids that get dropped off at the side of the road like clockwork and based on the age range you want, you pick a time bracket.
Becoming a delivery driver to steal kids or property is like becoming a circus clown to pet animals. There's easier ways to get to the desired outcome.
I nixed that problem right in the bud by having ugly kids.
