She Pretended Not to Notice
I went through airport security with my mom, my two oldest kids, and my son who was a baby. After we got through taking the shoes off and such, I immediately set up the stroller and put my son in while we put our shoes on and gather our belongings. I’m sitting at the very end gathering my belongings.
The place was covered with security, so I felt safe facing away from my son to get my shoes and jacket on. In that split second, he was gone. I hustled around looking for him and couldn’t find him or the stroller.
Security looked at me like I was mad and somehow my child disappeared while they were all milling around. There was no sign of him in the airport, I saw a store and ran in there.
Mind you my mom is rushing around with the older two and we are completely frantic…no help from TSA because they just seemed to not care.
Then I see a weird older lady with blonde hair pushing him around, at first, I thought she may have been senile.
However, she ends up pushing him to an older man and younger women and walking along fine… the three of them with my baby!
I ran up to them and grabbed the stroller and asked them what they were doing. They pretended not to know English.
I reported them and nothing was done. I’m still shaking just remembering it. What I find extremely off was the fact the people she’s with pretended not to notice she’s pushing a child around that wasn’t with them before.
If she happened to be senile anyone would say, “Where on Earth did you grab that baby from?” and try to find the parent… Nope they all stole my baby and nonchalantly walked away with him. Story credit: Reddit / ChineseChaiTea
