I hate to be the one to ask such an obvious question, but really, where in the hell was the parent/guardian of this young girl that she was accompanying to this Best Buy?
I know people are saying well, she was old enough to go to the bathroom on her own..fine, tho I disagree to a degree in that I would have still been monitoring my child at that age very closely(as in right outside/in view of the public restroom).. but even more concerning is the fact that all of the local media are reporting that the situation WAS NOT THAT THIS 9YO WAS UNATTENDED IN THE BATHROOM AND ATTACKED..
MUCH DIFFERENT is it that this 9year old girl was "lured" by this very large man to the bathroom of The Best Buy and then once inside the bathroom he then began to physically beat her inside the handicapped bathroom stall.. punching and kicking her to such a degree that the witnesses say the inside of the stall was covered in blood..after beating this young girl he then placed the plastic bag over her head, and forced her head into the toilet..
After hearing the muffled screams and moans the woman outside the bathroom(along with others) enters the woman's public bathroom, peers under the handicapped stall where they see this large grown man have a small child's head forced into the toilet.. He suddenly realizes he's been spotted and immediately let's his grip loosen on the girl..she immediately escapes by crawling out of the handicapped stall into the stall immediately adjacent and is helped by the witnesses in the bathroom..
The large man is thankfully detained by these adults who chose to get involved, rather than just look away and/or ignore an uncomfortable situation(as sadly many people do in this day and time)..
So, again please someone tell me where is the adult(s) who were in charge of/accompanying this young 9yo girl in this Best Buy?.. I mean she was not there all by her lonesome, IMO...so, who and where were the adults that this young child was with Friday evening??
all jmo and yes, this is very disturbing but, I can say that I am atleast thrilled to see and know that there are still people that are willing to get involved rather than just look the other way as so many people are at fault for doing these days.. Had no one been willing to get involved obviously this little girl would have been dead within literal minutes, if not seconds of time.. Thank God for that woman, especially!
All jmo.
