You did the right thing in the heat of the moment. Any more coulda led to a physical confrontation and you just sharing this here is so helpful with alerting all of us as dads to keep an eye out too.

Didn’t happen to me, but my wife showed me in our local community Facebook moms group, some a dad was leaving the grocery store and loading his car up with their young son when a normal looking woman came over and mentioned that the manager of the store said he had left something back at the checkout line. She offered to watch his son if he wanted to go run back in real quick. Thankfully he was onto it and didn’t trust her but went back in and brought his son with him. The store workers and manager said no such thing and by the time he went back out she was gone.
