Yeah, we're live across eight platforms right now, so if you want to comment a long feel free to do so. Some people already are and I've got to go ahead and get into the next one. Sounds good. This story is called That's My Baby. This isn't actually really old Reddit post. It's deleted. Yeah, it's been deleted for several years. But the story is absolutely crazy. So this is called That's My Baby. My husband and I were at the supermarket and our baby was being especially fussy, so we took the baby on a quick drive, the motion of which usually calms the baby down. It took only about ten minutes to settle her down, and I was in the store, but unsure how much longer i'd be in there. There's no reception inside, so my husband was the one doing this with the baby, so he's the one driving around trying to get the baby to sleep. Very common thing to use a car. People do that to get drive around and get the baby to fall asleep. So it says he pulled back up into the parking lot to wait for me. It was an unseasonably nice day, so he took her in the car seat and he had the carrier and whatever to set on one of the benches outside of the store. He took a business call and sat down with the baby in the carrier. A woman well dressed in mid thirties and an average height approach them. It's not uncommon for people to approach that. To look at the baby, she is cute. She's got big rosy cheeks, soft wisp of gold hair, and the most adorable toothless grin. And she looks even cuter when she's taken a nap. But her nap schedule was paramount. So my husband saw the woman approaching and being prepared to talk and converse with the baby like people often do. He was prepared to tell her that she couldn't and the baby was taking a nap. The lady walked up and asked if she could hold the baby, And this is at this point in time, he said, just like he would do, the baby's taking a nap. She act like she was going to walk away for a second, and this is when things got in and arresting. She turned back around with nonchalant, great confidence, and before he even finished the sentence explaining that again that she was napping and not to be touched, she picked up the carrier and started walking off. He was in shock for that moment, not fully believing someone would be ballsy enough to do this, something so sinister like this, and plaining daylight. He said, excuse me, can you put her down? His panic mounted, but she remained calm the entire time, which was strange. He was panicking, she was calm. He called after her a little bit loud, repeating the same thing, put her down, come back with her. The lady started to walk away more briskly than she had approached. He ran at this point to catch up with her, trying to grab the carrier out of her hands, finally resulting to restraining her arms, and the woman starts yelling help. He's taking my baby. Please call nine poet one help me. She was kicking him in the shin and pulling a pink bottle of pepper spray out of her handbag. Of course, no one in the parking lot was clocking or realized what had happened earlier before this interaction, and assumed immediately that he was a kidnapper. A lone man in a deadpool T shirt versus a tiny, well dressed woman. Immediately, a man knocked my husband to the ground and was holding him down. He could hear bystanders encouraging the woman to file at police report and call the police, but she was doing a very convincing job of acting shaken up, insisted she just wanted to get home and get away from there. My husband was in a raw state at panic, realizing the entire parking lot had banded together to inadvertently facilitate the kidnapping of our daughter. He was begging and pleading with them, but nobody would listen. They just kept screaming at him. The jig was up and he needed to remain laying there because the police would be there soon, and how could he do such a thing like this, terrorizing a young mother. My husband finally had the idea to show them family photos on his phone, but too panicked to think clearly. The way he manifested this was by shouting, I had pictures the baby on my phone. Of course, everybody interpreted this as him having some strange stalking pictures of the photos of the baby, or something worse. Possibly. I guess it was at this point that a man and I can't really entirely blame him for this, because considering what he thought my husband was doing. Kicked my husband as hard as he could in the ribs, which ended up breaking several ribs. At this point, I was coming out of the store and I thought that he was being robbed by these people. I was yelling for security so panicked, my chest constricted, I couldn't even get out of sound. It was then that I realized that he did not have our baby with him. Then I looked over and I saw she was being held by a woman. I was relieved. I thought maybe the woman intervened to move our daughter out of harm's way while my husband was being robbed. She was walking away to get help. I couldn't find a security guard outside in the near area, so I ran up to these people holding that were holding my husband down, and I was waving, waving, waving my wallet repeatedly at them and tell them take whatever you want, please take whatever you want, just leave us alone, please. One of the men holding him down said something like, lady, we need to wait for the police to deal with him. I was so confused. Why would the muggers have to call the police? I said, what do you mean, what are you talking about? I made out someone saying something like he tried to abduct that woman's child. I didn't understand. I was sure i'd misheard them. My husband would never hurt a child. We have four kids. If he was going to commit a crime, bringing home another kid would be the last thing he would do. I kept trying to understand what they were all saying. There were so many voices coming from everywhere. Then suddenly it all clicked. I looked around for the woman who had the baby carrier, and she was already halfway across the parking lot. I went into a total ballistic tiger cub mode. Literally leaped out of my heels and spread it across the parking lot. I'm not a UFC fighter or anything. Heck, I've never even taken a self defense class, so all I could think of doing was grabbing the lady by her hair and I squeezed her face with my other hand. It didn't do much. She was starting to get away even as I grappled with her. Amazingly, none of the other bystanders had yet to connect that my husband was telling the truth and this woman was trying to leave with our baby. I yanked on her hair as hard as I could, and that was enough to make her drop the car put the carrier down on the ground. I was scared and surprised that I actually didn't know what to do, so I threw myself on top of the carrier and covered the entire thing like a blanket. The woman, at this point quickly left the area. Not even one person tried to stop her, even though she was clearly leaving without the child she claimed was hers, which would be pretty damn incriminating if I'd watched all that. Within the next couple of minutes, the police arrived. After that, they were still bystanders who claimed that my husband was trying to kidnap the baby. The police, to my whoror, assumed that she must have not had bad intentions, and the first questions they asked me after getting her description of the lady was things like maybe you shouldn't press charges on her. They were still blacing the plame with my husband. Here's a small sample of what they were saying. Do your husband and the baby not look? Is there a chance she thought that he was actually taking the baby and she was trying to intervene. Could your husband have been doing something violent? Maybe it made her feel compelled to take the baby did she seem confused. They spent more time verifying that the baby was actually in mine than concerning themselves with the fact that the baby was not actually hers. My husband at this point called us brother who worked in an office with a lot of lawyers, and we connected with one asap on the scene, who gave us the priceless advice to get every officer's badge name and to request copies of the store security tapes right away, and to escalate the complaint higher up the chain. Didn't seem like they were taken as very serious at this point. The officers finally, after much debate and many questions on our part and request, we had a reason to believe that we were being taken serious, and we headed home. We both just shook and cried until we had to go get our other kids from school. My husband is seeding with rage and grappling with the fear of helplessness from how little he was able to do and multiple cracked ribs on top of this from the man who kicked him. I guess to the officer's credit, they did asked if we wanted to press charges against the man, but considering the man was convinced that he was stopping to kidnap it at that time, and he even stayed after to talk to the police and apologized several times. When the truth became clear, my husband declined to press charges. Amazingly and frustratingly, there were still people who stuck around to talk to the police, giving us dirty looks and still convinced that the husband my husband was involved with kidnapping. I even heard one man tell the police they get CPS involved to verify the baby is actually ours. Oh lord, that's messed. Uh. Yeah. After the flea market one last week, I was like, oh, I gotta I gotta share this one. That's creepy. So we talked about last week, Right, it's like a similar scenario ish, very but I don't think the husband did anything wrong that Like the last week when we talked about the flea market one, the guy was not paid attention with his kid, right. Yeah, he was follow of the year of material. In this case, the woman just comes up, takes the kid and just starts heading off. That's so crazy. Yeah. When I read this one, I was like, dang, this is a this is a crazy story that You're right though, that takes like a lot of like, who just walks in. There, that's the crazy person's thing to do. Or I guess it was outside the store. Who just walks up outside the store and does that. But I can see, okay, so obviously I've made a lot of babies in my day. I can see the situation that they're talking about. When somebody's like approaching the baby, like I'm gonna what a cute baby. I'm going to talk to the baby, you know whatever, maybe even maybe touch a baby's hair or something like people do, and then to just take off with it. That's just it. That's just crazy, man. I just I can't even bathom how you could react in that situation any better than what they did reacting. I mean, like you know they were this was like a nightmare scenario. It was so crazy that it kind of shuts down all your ability to process information. It's like, nobody, this is this nuts. Nobody's gonna be that nuts. Just walk up and pick up a kid and go. They even talked about how and everybody's commented, long live hey Tory, Hey everybody else. We got things, will go ahead and throw them up here. This woman is insane. Someone said, nightmare situation. Someone said, then someone else comments, at least they got the baby back. Yeah, so I could really feel for the husband because you'd be in a panic state at that point in time, and you'd be like, I've got photos, and it wouldn't come across like genuine. That's best messed up. I think, though, there's a chance you might side with the woman if you didn't know. Yeah, I mean, it happens a lot of times where like you know, you got there's a one random guy acting a little crazy, and then you got to put together for one there assume yeah, he's the one that's crazy, because the idea that someone is that nuts but they'll just walk up, calmly, pick up the carrier and start walking off with it is in you wouldn't You wouldn't be able to believe that someone could do that, but apparently they can. You wouldn't be able to believe it. You could almost picture this plane out in front of you. Oh absolutely, yeah, we were holding the guy down. Call the police, Call the police, and while meanwhile she's just kind of sneaking off across the parking lot with the carrier. I gotta tell you, I don't care how relieved I would be afterwards, I was still press charge and it's that guy that kicked me. Wow, what do you think you listening out there? Like, would you press charge against the guy that thought he was doing right? Luke wid Yeah, I mean it truly did get several broken ribs. That would be terrible. But can you see, I guess better way word? Can you feel the emotions that must have been going through this man as he went home? Yeah, A feeling of hopelessness, right, we's men, we's tough. Yeah, all jokes aside, that would be a terrible feeling, like, hey, this is my job to be the protector. Yeah, and yeah, that's crazy that I honestly didn't expect that story. That story is nuts, just thinking like I keep coming back too, you know what. Right, So when she came out the store, that scene had to be something that you could never dream of happening. You see these people surrounding your husband and you don't know what's going on there. You think that he's just being robbed, right, and you see this lady off in the distance kind of walking away with the baby, like, and you got to like figure out what's going You have to process information very quickly here. Yeah, and that's too much. That's too much for people to process. And so that's why it was like she took a second before she even realized what was happening. You know, this happened much faster than you know, we all laid it all out to by phone. Yeah, oh man, that's crazy. Yeah, we got a lot of people listening live. One looks like Twitter is the most people on YouTube. We got people on every platform right now. Somebody said, now, I would say keep the woman there too, just in case. Well, the thing is so, I think what happened was this lady may never went in the store. Who knows, right, could just walk up from outside. I assume this altercation took place somewhere on the mid to the end of the parking lot. She just kind of sneaks off. Nobody at this point was probably understanding what was going on. I'm sure it was confusing for every everybody involved. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of people, Yeah, trying to process all that. Yeah, I know, each other. Probably there's probably more altercations that we don't even know about afterwards, like oh, where'd she go? You know, it's like, yeah, tell you what it makes me want to do. Most of these stories make me do that. Yeah, that's a scary story. That's scarier than the flea market one. Yeah that was maybe it's defense and it can't even process anything, you know. Yeah, that's definitely worse. Everybody banned against the guy. That'd be so terrible. It's just the worst. That's so crazy. Well, I was excited for you to hear that one. The look of disgust on your face was there, and you'd press charges. So yeah, screw that guy. You going to hell. You're pressing charges. Jeff Townsend media sees you good night, and the question is do I stay here? Will you be back? Are you gonna come back? Will you be back? Are you coming back?
