Anytime your child goes to a Walmart alone or with parents teach them to scream "Code Adam". This is the alarm for a missing, abducted, or abused child in the store. Security and Walmart personnel will stop what they are doing, do a search, and or go to the commotion. As a retired USAF NCO I had my fill of bad airmen, male and female. Reading what she was doing, her husband or jailhouse friends told her to get out faster, do more $hit. It just works in the opposite direction that's for sure. Another thing, the FBI did not do its job of investigating them at all. They would have seen what their behavior was and concluded they may not be a fit for the military at all. If it was during the administration between 2009-2017 when they lowered Army minimal standards, even more, I can see how these human malcontents got in. It's getting worse with this admiration and looking to even lowering it even more. Not since the draft has the worse of the worse is getting in the armed forces lowering morale and readiness for one who want to be there.

THIS. Growing up on base all of us (boys in the housing area) thought the guy was a big wuss for not fighting back or at least defending himself when his wife abused him fortunately his command protected him since FSC wanted HIM to go to anger management and threats to pull her ID out in a base in the middle of nowhere (30-45 minute drive to nearest wallyworld) got them to back down. The ONLY reason why they helped him was because he just curled up into a ball so only he was injured and no bruising on him So if he sees this know at least I'm sorry I thought you were a wuss back then.

[@Nareimooncatt]

I use to work at Wal-Mart, and at that time, Code Adam was only used for missing children after management spoke with the parents, and then announced over the PA with a specific description of the kid. That way every associate in the store not only knew to look for a missing kid, but it also essentially locked down the store to make sure the kid couldn't walk or be carried out. Your average Joe isn't going to fully understand this, and the associates may not respond the same as if it was announced officially through the PA to everyone at once. As with any such code word social media wants us to try using, these are not situations where you want to be taking chances. You need to teach your kids to scream for help instead of some code word. For one, it's much easier and natural for them to remember and use in a panic. Two, there's no question what it means. It means people are needed asap to that location. If a kid (or anyone, for that matter) is in danger and following this advice, you first need to hope that the person remembers the correct code word for the situation, then you need to hope the people near by knows it, then you need to hope they take it seriously, then you need to hope they care to respond if they don't know it. It's too many points of failure when, "HEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!" gets the point across universally. Yes, code Adam exists, but leave it for the staff to use it as they are trained. And just ignore all the other code words for danger as well, it'll only lead to confusion and delayed responses.

[@spokanetomcat1]

@@Nareimooncatt Help does not draw attention as Code Adam does. Like calling out fire instead of help when you really need help. No one will punish you if you use it.

If the noise didn't make her let go, the nearby people (and probably the cops) would. If people didn't get to us before I started to panic, I would set her breathing to manual.

[@maniaemagna]

Story 1: I'm not surprised this happened at Walmart: 1. Far too many customers will ignore stuff like closed signs so mistaking a child for an employee is inevitable. 2. They do hire employees under 21 and sometimes younger than 18. One co-worker looks like she is middle school but an adult. Also I once dealt with a customer who had a 12 year old granddaughter who was 6 feet tall. 3. Some Walmart employees get away with not wearing the vest while working. Mostly management and loss prevention.

[@maniaemagna]

@Purple Citrine Oh, I know my reasoning doesn't excuse it but unfortunately some customers can't be reasoned with.

[@Nayas_Scattered_Mind]

As someone who works at Walmart, yes to all your points. Some customers are…Well, let’s just say they certainly aren’t too bright. Though, even if a Walmart employee doesn’t have their vest, they do always have their name badge! Though, sometimes they kind of hide it.

[@stephanien6237]

@Purple Citrine that would require the Karen to *listen* to someone else.

[@magenabark943]

Ladies and gentlemen we have officially gone full circle, i've seen Karen's cause a fuss thinking a 20 year old looks to young to be a manager and now we have Karen's who are convinced that a 12 year old is an employee.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Yeah, who does she think she is, Wisconsin/Ohio legislators? How the hell can someone mistake a 12 year old in no uniform as an employee? She just wanted to bully someone.

[@drakofox1362]

If my kid was going to Walmart for me I'll tell them if anyone puts there hands on you in a threatening way scream loud enough for everyone to hear

[@gamester512]

Exactly. The absolute best thing you can do in that situation is to make as much noise as possible in order to draw attention. Especially if it's a *child* screaming, that is sure to get people to come running. Especially if there is even the slightest chance that it's an attempted kidnapping, the absolute last thing a would-be kidnapper wants is attention, so intentionally drawing attention to yourself is the best thing you could possibly do. Hell, I know of at least one instance where a young girl was being kidnapped (the kidnappers apparently planned to force her into marrying one of them), and her screams wound up drawing the attention of *THREE LIONS* who scared off the kidnappers and then they just stayed with the girl and protected her until they knew she was safe, at which point they simply left.

[@JackTheBaller]

Story 1) she thought you worked there because she is short and you were reorganizing the cards, but it’s a whole other way to react by GRABBING A CHILD?! Like what the heck has the world come to.
