This can happen anywhere

I have just read the story on the News’ website about little girls who were photographed at a local shopping centre.

This past weekend we went to another mall to celebrate my little niece’s fourth birthday. My son (13) and daughter (10) and my niece (4) were playing in the play area.

While we were sitting watching them, my sister saw a man dressed in security clothes taking photos of my son and her daughter. She went over to him and asked why he was taking photos of the children.

He said it was just photos. My sister instructed him to delete the photos, which he did in front of her, but we don’t know if he’d forwarded the photos to someone else before my sister spoke to him.

This is scary stuff, what are they planning?

We are to scared to take our children back to that mall again, or any other mall for that matter. I was just thinking, this could happen in any play area.

You as a parent think they are employees of the restaurant and the employees think they are parents. How will we know the difference?

We do not know if they are watching us, and maybe planning to kidnap your child.

Why on earth would a stranger take a picture of your child?

At Caxton, every story is written by humans. We use AI only to perform quality checks - never to generate the news. Happy reading!
