Have you baws seen these Wal-Mart attempted abuduction stories being shared on FB?

These have been rampant on social media lately, you've probably seen them if you're friends with small town Louisiana women who didn't leave their hometowns.

Stories usually go like this: Mom is in Wal-Mart with young Kaisley, Jaxston, and Preyleigh, some foreigner or black dude is following them around and signals to his partner that it's time to move in. Brave mom screams at the abductor, runs to the store manager who tells them they can't remove the two guys, they of course check out, and they end asking everyone to be aware of their surroundings because child abductions / sex trafficking is happening everywhere, etc. At no point are the police ever mentioned in these scenarios.

Here's a blog post that goes into more depth about it-

In fact, these abduction reports are so common and so similar, you could practically make a fill-in-the-blanks Mad Libs-style form for creating them. White vans... teams of alleged abductors (usually persons of color or "foreign")... and the incidents are seldom, if ever reported to local police. Generally, when confronted, the original posters usually follow a pattern of deleting their posts - and sometimes, after being shown store security footage, these individuals will find themselves charged (and even convicted) of crimes themselves. This wastes valuable police resources and creates an undue sense of fear among the public. But the biggest problem with these false reports is that it helps create a "boy who cried wolf!" scenario. When a mom cries wolf so many times and it's not real, what will happen when someone really is being abducted? And yes, people have been abducted from Walmart stores in the past (along with being beaten, shot, stabbed and even killed), but contrary to what social media might have you think, you and your loved ones will probably be just fine. While we should always be cautious and mindful of the environment around us, there is absolutely no reason to live - or shop - in fear.
