It might seem fanatical to say that parents need to keep an eye on their young children at all times, but the security footage from a local California store is proving exactly why turning your attention away from a child for even two seconds is too long.
One California mother had been running errands with her infant baby and 4-year-old daughter one afternoon, and understandable had her hands full as she walked into a local cell phone store in Victorville and got in line. As she stood in line, however, her 4-year-old little girl wandered about a foot away in front of the shop’s entrance.
Knowing her little girl was standing just inches away, mom turned her attention towards the line for a moment, but it was all the time a man needed to reach into the store and grab the little girl.
With her baby still in her arms, mom sprinted after the man abducting her child and managed to free her from his grip.
Luckily, police were quick to the scene and managed to catch 24-year-old Terry Ransom near the scene, and was taken into custody for attempting to abduct the child.
Watch the security footage below to see the shocking moment a 4-year-old who was just inches away from mom was nearly abducted.
