Random - Today while I was shopping at a clothes store, a stranger women came by to say hi to the baby. As this is quite common in general I didn’t give it any second thoughts right there and then.

Some people are just quite weird like that I always get asked this by people when I’m out my daughter is born January 29th and when people ask when she’s 2 I just say the last week of January and leave it like that

Some old woman today whilst food shopping touched my daughter’s face (7month) whilst I was looking at something on the shelf .. people are odd

Could be that she was just asking if it was recent enough to say "happy birthday". I understand the uneasy feeling but nothing happened. Trust your instincts but don't let them take over and distrust everyone either ♥️

I hate this so so much like why do people touch babies !!!! Leave them alone my daughter is old enough now she just tells people to go away before I can even get a word in lol

There is nothing wrong to be extremely careful given the fact that the whole kidnapping rate is very high. If it was me I will not even give the birth date

I know everyone is saying people are weird and that's "normal" but tbh if you ever feel uncomfortable just go with your gut. It's always better to be safe/overly cautious. You don't owe any personal details to anyone. If you don't want to be confrontational just give them made up details/date

I so invent information when people do ask things. Traffic red are very well done and put people who inspire trust as beautiful women or even kids to trap someone new. I would maybe report her from the places you were. They may have seen things. We have to know in which world we are living in. That's sad but I can't trust most people even less random strangers.

@Aurélie can you please elaborate on this? I’m so stressed right now

I don't think you should stress it out Incognito. Human trafficking is at his highest level. It's not said to high our anxiety but we have to be vigilant. Nowadays trafficant uses people who seems to be armless to gain trust easily. (They can use a kid with a puppy to attract a target away from his caregiver for example). No strangers need to know information about your kid (no name, no age, no birthdate,...) If you are interested and want to know more about it, google it. I like to know what is the world nowadays so I can prevent better my son s safety.

People are the strangest. The amount of people I’ve had come up and ask the most specific questions is unreal. I’ve had the birthday thing done, I’ve had people touch my child’s face even when she was a baby too fast for me to stop them/when I wasn’t looking. I’ve had people linger for longer than I wanted it’s like they didn’t wanna leave my child?? I assume some people might just long for a child or they love children but some people’s actions and questions are really out there. I had some random person whilst I was waiting on a prescription ask how old she is and then say is she potty trained. Out of nowhere. I also think some people are just nosy even with stuff that’s unrelated to my child. I would just be careful around some people but I bet you are anyways. And as mentioned before with the human trafficking it’s not a nice thought at all but some people seek information for things like that. Next time if you don’t want to say anything then either don’t and walk away or tell a

That would make me uncomfortable too. I find usually the older generation is very obsessive with babies and will go so far as to hold, touch or kiss another strangers baby.

If it made you that uncomfortable, report it. Trust your gut about strange people. For real.

I forgot to mention, she also asked whether she was teething and how many teeth she has. (Thank you all for sharing your experiences 🩷)
