Jerks with babies.

What is wrong with people?!

I went to Target this afternoon and while I'm in the baby section I hear a little voice saying "Mommy, where are you? Mommy? I can't find my mom." So of course I go I to momma bear mode. I find this little 2 1/2-3 year old girl sitting in the shoes crying. Four people walked by before I got to her. Not one stopped. Not even a young mom. She just watched as I knelt down and asked the girl what her mom looked like and then I took her hand to walk her toward security as we look.

Halfway up she saw her mom. A very non-concerned older woman looking at a display without a care. Baby girl just cries "Mommy!" and ran up to her. And the woman didn't flinch. Not a word. I was confused so I asked the lady if the girl was hers and she made eye contact and then WALKED AWAY!

I just... W. T. A. F?! The little girl started jabbering behind her about how she was lost and I heard mom say "Next time I'll let them just take your ." I went back to the baby section and picked up sleeping C and hugged him tightly.

I just don't get people. This is why I prefer animals mostly.

Aw, that's so sad! I've helped many kids find their parents long before I had one of my own. It's so scary to be a little kid lost, I can't believe no one else tried to help and that her mom reacted like that is so upsetting

That's sad.  And that other people just walked by and didn't stop to take the girl to security and help her find her mom.  We went to a swap meet one weekend and this little boy no more than 3 years old was standing in the row crying..lost... an

Being a teacher I have had a few situations come up that made me feel like this one you described. It was always hard but it gets to me so much more now that I have my own daughter. Every child deserves to be loved as much as my DD and it makes my hear
