Today, I was walking my dog when I saw a man trying to get a screaming little girl into a van. I called 911 and ran over yelling at him. His wife then got out of the van and explained the girl was their daughter and they were just trying to make her go to school. FML

Hey guys OP here! I asked the little girl if that was her parents and she nodded but 911 told me they were still sending an officer to be 100% sure that everything was accurate. The parents completely understood and were totally fine because they were glad I cared and took action. :)

It was an honest mistake op. It's nice that you decided to take action instead of be a bystander! We need more people like you:)

Thank you for actually doing something to try to help rather than just take a video to post on YouTube later.

I hope you verified they were her parents, could have really just been a female accomplice not the wife/mom

You still did the right thing tho. So don't be sorry for it.

Better be sure than sorry, right? It would've been worse if you had walked away while a girl was actually getting kidnapped. You did a good thing OP.

Hey, at least you care and have the guts to do something about what you saw!

at least you went to help! better safe than sorry

Still let the police investigate. I wouldn't be surprised if the "wife" thing was just a ruse.

the police would come even if op told them not to... they would certainly check it out

They could've lied to you. You still should of waited for the cops Just a precaution

The police would've come anyways, even if op called and said she made a mistake. Once they've been called they're required by law to go check it out.

They would have come but the kidnappers/parents (whichever they were) were probably long gone by then.

Even though it was a mistake, you did what was right. And to be honest, I would have done the exact same thing if I saw that

you should have asked the child the safe word. what if stranger danger had it figured out that someone might call the police and came up with that story?

thats saying the child would actually know what op is talking about
