When I was about 12 I found a dead kitten on the side of the road and was so sad for the kitten and their family that I biked home and got out my special box (a shoe box decorated with patterned paper) wrapped the poor, dead kitty in a bit of clean cloth and left it in the box on the front porch of the house i found the body by. Then I went home knowing I had done a good deed and that family would feel better about their dead kitty because it was in a special box and I thought no more about it. As an adult I randomly remembered my good deed... yeah, that family probably didn't even have a kitten. They probably came home, saw a box decorated by a 5th grader, opened it up and thought "What the HELL!!??" To that family, whomever you are, my sincere apologies. It wasn't a morbid prank, I promise.

I was likely almost kidnapped and raped. When I was 4-5, I was at a department store with my mother, and she had wandered off, probably chasing my brother. I was painfully shy and scared anyway, but when two adult men approached me, I knew it wasn't okay. They started talking to me, all friendly, asking me my name, and what I was doing there. I was petrified of being rude, so I answered, but didn't feel comfortable, and ducked away as quickly as I could to try to find my mom. I then felt guilty because "they were probably just being friendly," and I was afraid they'd find me and tell my mom I was rude, and I'd get in trouble. I actually felt guilty and ashamed about this for decades until I realized that no adult men have any reason to approach a little child, and like any good predators, I'm sure they could tell that I was easy to manipulate, and I probably was two short steps away from "Want to come see the puppy we have in our car?" or something. I never told anyone about this.

Oh wow. That really sucks I'm sorry that you experienced that. I don't want to overshadow your story, but I could've been raped too. My ex boyfriend didn't understand the word 'no', and if he hadn't been grounded, I'm sure I would've been. I kind of understand fear behind this.

This kind of fear paralyzes and silences us. And look at most of the comments here, still making excuses for this kind of behavior.

I'm not defending or blaming anyone in this situation, because I wasn't present. But if I see a child without supervision I would be concerned for their safety. Being male doesn't mean I'm bad. But if I think that I'm going to be looked upon negatively for having good intentions then maybe I don't help.

Nah, that statement "no adult men have any reason to approach a little child" is gender stereotyping. In Africa we do not assume a man talking to a child is a predator unless the child in question is a teenager and he is offering her something. Sometimes people just want to help.
Mrs. Jan Glass (Submission author) 3 years ago (edited)
Then all they had to say was "Are you lost?" instead of being creepy and close-talking and touching me and asking my name and what I was doing. I shouldn't be surprised at how many of you STILL make excuses for this kind of behavior.

Could it be possible that the men were concerned about a small child who seemed to be alone?
NotTodaySatan!! 3 years ago
I agree. How can one say they were nearly kidnapped and raped without knowing their intentions? Just guessing if they kidnapped you they would rape you?? How do you know they waited until you were alone THEN approached? If they wanted to kidnap you they didn't have to make conversation at all. Just grabbed you and ran. A lot of assumptions made in this story for a small child.

I have a story very similar. It was one man though. And I was very gullible and easy to manipulate too. He actually said he had a friend my size, and asked if he could pick me up to weigh me. I let him pick me up under my arms and then he either let me down or I squirmed and he let me down. He then left. I was alone in the toys aisle. Maybe about 6 y.o.? I had no idea how close I was to being whisked away and who knows what. Never told anyone about this either, until now. I'm 53 now. This was in Miami. I think we were at a Zayre's store.

I used to take snacks like ziplock bags of cookies and hide them in our VHS collection. A week would go by and we'd have no snacks in the house at all. My mom would find me eating them and watching a movie. She'd ask "Where did you get those??" My answer was always the same "Had 'em."

At some point in elementary school, I was minding my own business and walking back home after a long day and this random truck pulls up to the nearest stop sign and waits for a really long time as I walk closer.(because that was the way home) Reminder: The road was CLEAR AS DAY and something clicked in my brain that said "If you get ANY closer you are going to get kidnapped" You wanna know what I did to this sketchy truck that was probably going to kidnap me? I held up both of my hands at my chest and.... flipped the driver the bird with both of my hands.. YUP! The funniest thing was IT ACTUALLY WORKED! It got the dude to drive away and leave me be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My friend (teen) once told me that an old man was ‘hitting on her’ and calling her things like ‘baddie’ and ‘cutie’ and because I have a reputation of pretending to be toga (a boy crazy, Phycopathic anime girl) as a joke, they asked me to deal with it, even knowing this was a bad idea, I walked up to him and said “hey baddie! I can see your b*ner from all the way across the store. Who do you see that’s sexy? *dramatic hair twirl with my index finger* can I get your snap *manic laugh* mMmMm I wanna bite those big balls off” at this point the old man straight up left hahaha. The funniest s**t. I felt kinda bad though… but still, what kind of 40 something year old calls a teen things like that?
NotTodaySatan!! 3 years ago
That you truly believe, now as an adult, flipping them off is what made them drive away is astounding to me. Not that perhaps they remained still for so long fixing the radio, reading a map, texting (depending on the year of course) and happened to finish doing whatever they were doing when you flipped them off would be a more reasonable assumption. If they were planning to kidnap you, it is more likely flipping them off would have simply angered them and made them want to "teach you a lesson" rather than scare them away.
Your local gay frog (Submission author) 3 years ago
I don't know for sure that is what made them drive away but this story is from my point of view and that's what I did and then the person drove away. I don't know the full story because the driver didn't come back to say "OH yeah, thus is what actually happened" So what I know is what I know.

I was born on a bomb! A little clarification: I was born in a hospital in the Netherlands, in 1963. The hospital was probably built somewhere in the 1950’s. Many years later a new hospital was built in another location in the city, and the old hospital was demolished. One day there was a small article in the local newspaper that during the demolishing they found an unexploded WW2 bomb right under where the maternity ward had been… According to that news article the bomb could still have gone off all the time. Not really a secret, but if some website asks for a ‘secret security question’, I’m often tempted to use this.

I was at a pretty big summer camp, and we were playing capture the flag. I was pretty emotional when I was younger, still am, sometimes. I would throw tantrums at the tineist thing and get really, really, mad, espeichally if someone cheated in a game or something was unfair. so anyway, we were playing capture the flag, and I was the jail guard. there were like, 4 people in jail, and someone from the other team tried to free them, but I tagged him before he got to the jail, but he insisted that I didn't tag him in time, and he and his buddies just walked away and then mocked me. I think something happened earleir in the game, because I was MAD. like, seeing red spots in my vision mad. I tried to talk to the camp councelers, but I was screaming at this point so I don't think they could understand me. this made me so, so, so, mad that I ran up to one of the kids who had freed the people from jail and scrathced him. (I have really long nails, by the way.) he was reasonably upset, and the camp councelor was called. since it was a big summer camp, she didn't know my name and so asked me for it. (obiously to email my parents.) I was really sad and scared the rest of the day, because I thought that my parents would be really mad at me, but when they picked me up, they weren't mad. they never talked about it. I don't think they even got the email. I kept quiet but was scared for years that they would dig up that email and find out.
