    What if it was wishing aids on a fake troll account for a fake character account on clutchfans? Think of how lame you would have to be to do that. Maybe they do deserve the aids.

    I'm still trying to find out why would anyone want to steal kids? Last thing I ever want is someone elses damn kid. It's hard enough getting rid of the ones you got. lol

    Its not on the news. She's not sure if she wants issue a police report, because her son fortunately didn't notice and wasn't effected. She doesn't want him to have to deal with the police and investigation. I personally don't agree but its her choice.

    Haha! Touche sir, I had similar thoughts.

    That's too bad. There's always the off chance that the cops can piece something together that the CostCo people couldn't. What if, since she does nothing, the lady ends up grabbing a new kid from someone unsuspecting? Oh well.

    Definitely scary and got my attention. I can be bad about letting my 3 yr old daughter roam around etc. I definitely have been in positions where someone could have nabbed her easy. It's such a pain in the ass doing stuff with kids that you do open yourself up to these situations often.

    This reminds me of a similar story of the kid that drowned at the lifetime fitness in s Austin. The mom was talking to someone else in the shallow end of the pool and her son drowned literally right behind her and nobody noticed

    Ps op this better not be some snopes story

    Can't believe people still fall for Ronny's troll schtick and actually applaud his posts. The guy is only here to figuratively masturbate all over the site with his two year psych degree.

    This situation reminds me of this one time I was at Toys R Us with my parents. I was maybe 6 or 7 years old and my parents were in one of the isles and they had left the cart to the side. Without paying attention, I get on the front of the cart looking into it playing with the stuff that was inside. Next thing I know the cart begins to move so I figured we were leaving and not once did I look up as I kept playing with the toys in the cart. All of a sudden I look up to see an old couple pushing the cart smiling at me. I suddenly jump off and start running looking for my parents. Now I'm not sure if that was a kidnap attempt but it was pretty a freaky situation to be in as a 6 year old.

    Is this a joke? Even if she decided not to do anything about it so the police aren't going to do anything about this? WTF?? No ****ing wonder people are getting away with kidnapping and murder until it is too late.

    So we are just waiting for something like this to happen.

    For all we know she could be kidnapping a child for someone else such as this type of crime. But we won't know because no one decided to do anything about it. I guessed they are waiting for the real tragedy to happen before they act:

    That Costco story is scary! Excellent instinct by the mother to immediately find the manager. Don't think I would have thought to do that.

    Also, I've never been a big fan of Moe's South Park "make fun of people" style of humor, but there's a reason Ronny's BBS title used to be "Random Idiot."

    Ah... you're probably right. Well, regardless, Ronny seems to be a real tool as well.

    The last time I made a joke about moes, we made witty banter for a couple posts and moved on. It's nothing personal - it's all about the love of the game.

    But now the big bad wolf who goes around flaming everyone can't play along when he gets a small taste of his own medicine and accuses me of preying on his fragile little psych. Lol, and naturally, the entire sheltered hangout jumps to save their favorite diva when just last week he was trolling the **** out of Asians and has a personality built on randomly swearing at people like it's humor. But hey, that **** is nonsensical and isn't predicated on needing a brain, so I guess it's much easier to digest than, what it is, that Ronny does.

    You reap what you sow. Stop crying about it and change who you are if you don't like it.

    I've made jokes about DD and Donny because they're comfortable putting themselves out there and are secure enough to get what comes with it. They play along or handle it with some semblance of grace. Half the site makes jokes about me and I embrace it.

    The beauty of my satire is evident to anyone who understands life off the computer. So when you feel isolated by it or can't relate, it says a lot about you.

    i enjoy Ronny's posts. he's a bit self-aggrandizing but he's honest without fear of hurting people's precious feelings. people just don't like to hear the truth.
