A Scary Encounter: Protecting Our Kids in Public Spaces

Today something unsettling happened while shopping with my 8-year-old daughter. I noticed a strange man watching her a little too closely, and then he started following us around the store. My heart was pounding as I tried to stay calm and keep her close. It’s terrifying to realize how vulnerable our children can be, even in everyday places. I made sure we left safely, but the experience shook me. As parents, we always want to protect our kids, but moments like this remind us how important it is to stay alert and trust our instincts.
