  • Child Safety

     

    Thanks to Sharon Sammons for sending this reminder.  It's always good to remember that we must be mindful of our children's safety at all times.  It doesn't always happen to someone else.  If something should ever happen, act quickly for it could mean the difference in finding them or never seeing them again.
     
     

    Forwarded from a Sam's Club employee. .

     

    Wanted to share something that happened today while shopping at

    Sam's Club. A mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned

    Around to find her 4 yr. Old daughter was missing. I was standing

    There right beside her, and she was calling her daughter with no

    Luck.

     

     

    I asked a man who worked at Sam's to announce it over the loud

    Speaker for Katie. He did, and let me say he immediately walked

    Right past me when I asked and went to a pole where there was a

    Phone. He made an announcement for all the doors and gates to be

    Locked, a code something.

     

    So they locked all the doors at once. This took all of 3 minutes

    After I asked the guy to do this. They found the little girl 5

    Minutes later in a bathroom stall. Her head was half shaved, and

    She was dressed in her underwear with a bag of clothes, a razor,

    And wig sitting on the floor beside her to make her look

    Different.

     

    Whoever this person was, took the little girl, brought her into the

    Bathroom, shaved half her head, and undressed her in a matter of

    Less than 10 minutes. This makes me shake to no end. Please keep a

    Close eye on your kids when in big places where it's easy for you

    To get separated.

     

    It only took a few minutes to do all of that-another 5 minutes and

    She would have been out the door. I am still in shock that some

    Sick person could do this, let alone in a matter of minutes. The

    Days are over when our little ones could run rampant all over the

    Place and nothing would happen to them.

     

    The little girl is fine. Thank God for fast workers who didn't take

    Any chances.

     

    BE SURE TO FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE, SO THEY KNOW JUST

    HOW SICK PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE!!! (This happened at the Sam's

    Wholesale Club in Omaha, Nebraska.)

     

    This message has been added to the story above:

     

    I received this e-mail from one of my friends today. Let me first

    Tell you that I work at the Sam's club in Lincoln, NE. The code

    That was spoken of is called a 'Code Adam'. It is named after John

    Walsh's (host of Americas Most Wanted) son Adam who was kidnapped

    And murdered many years ago. It is used in all Sam's Clubs, Wal-marts,

    And Wal-mart super centers to locate lost children.

     

    This is how it works. If by some means you have been separated with

    Your child tell the nearest employee! The employee will page a

    'Code Adam' (missing child in the store) over the intercom system

    Followed by a description of the child (height, weight, hair color,

    Age, name etc).

     

    When that page goes out all the exits are immediately guarded, and/

    Or locked in some cases, also every employee will stop whatever

    They are doing no matter what it is and help look for the missing

    Child. This will continue until the child is found.

     

    If the child is not found within a reasonable time then the police

    Are notified and the store will conduct an isle by isle search. So

    If ever you are separated from your child now you know what to do.

     

    Missing children pictures hang by the exits of all Wal-mart and

    Sam's Club stores, please take a few minutes to look these over as

    You leave, you just might have seen one of the children on them and

    You might be the one to give their parents hope and give the police

    A new lead in finding them.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Sincerely, Rudy Magee Sam's Club #6413

     

    Even if you do not have little kids, pass this one on to everyone
