Can't believe the father didn't beat this scumbag down. People like this pondscum should be thrashed soundly on a regular basis.

When will parents learn that they have to keep their children BY THEIR SIDE at all times when they are out. A child can disappear in just a matter of seconds. John Walsh lives with this every day since his son Adam was taken years ago. It's only gotten worse. I witnessed a young autistic boy who had been separated from his mother in a mall recently. He couldn't communicate with any of us. It was very scary...and completely unnecessary. A store employee him had found him happily dancing away in the shoe department.
