Today i went into the Eastvale Target off of Limonite and Hamner around am. With me, i had my two children, ages 2 and almost 4.
I saw a few friends upon walking in, said hello, and went on shopping. I was in the card department when i noticed a man kind of lingering, and staring a bit in our direction. When i looked his direction, he would quickly turn. No big deal. After that, it seemed that every single aisle i went down, there he was. School supply aisle, there he was. Feminine product aisles, there he was. Laundry detergent aisle, there he was.
Oddly enough, he had no shopping cart, no basket, nothing. I payed close attention to him at this point. I purposely started wandering the opposite direction i was going, and down random aisles. Low and beholdβ¦. I constantly hear and see stories about child abductions and sex trafficking young children in department stores such as Target. So i am very aware when i shop with my children. I started to panic a bit. Just scimming the aisles and watching my every move.
I looked up, and across the store i saw my friend. I rushed over to her and started telling her about this guy, whom she noticed as well. Within seconds, he was about 10 feet from us. We saw an employee and let them know what was going on, so she alerted the security as well as the other Target employees. The man disappeared for a short period of time, only to be following us again. I lost him for a bit as i headed to the front of the store to check out.
My friend said she would meet me up there. I told the cashier what was going on, and that i would like a man employee to walk me to my car.
