“Please be aware and keep your children in arms reach at all times. I was at the beach with my son when I was approached by a Chinese woman probably in her early 40s.
She began asking me weird questions like ‘Where do you live?’ She also told me she wasn’t from around here, that she is from L.A. She was already giving me bad vibes so I paid close attention to her every move while keeping my son on my lap.
She walked away for just a few minutes then approached me and my son again and then asked if she could take a picture of my baby. I said ‘No.’ She asked AGAIN. I said ‘No!’ She laughed and said, ‘She’s cute. God bless her.’ As soon as she said that a blue van pulled up and her phone rang.
She walked away and started quietly talking in Chinese but also keeping her eyes on me. The van sat there. I got up from my chair and told my son, ‘Let’s go. We’re leaving.’ The van was still there doing nothing. No one was getting out just sitting there.
Thank god they were parked in a ‘No parking zone’ and the City of New Bedford pulled up behind them causing them to drive off. Meanwhile, the lady is still no more than 100 ft from me and my son.
As soon as the van left I ran with my son. I’m 99.9% sure that this lady was trying to kidnap my son. This lady was probably in her early to mid 40s with short black pin-straight hair (Pixie cut). Please everyone stay safe.”-Dechelle Campos.
