Today, while working at my local supermarket, I found a boy lost and wandering about, so I took him to the front desk. My reward from his mother was a slap around the face and harsh words for supposedly having kidnapped him. FML

Today, I noticed a young child wandering out onto a busy street. I managed to grab his arm just as he stepped off the sidewalk and yank him away from almost certain death. My reward was his mother, who was on her cell phone the whole time, screaming at me for touching her child. FML

Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML

Today, while I was working at a supermarket, a kid started to cry in line because he couldn't get candy. Since we have free lollipops behind the desk, I gave him one. His mom complained to my manager and said I was grooming her child. FML

Today, at my job working retail, I had just finished cleaning and straightening a whole aisle. This kid watched me do the whole thing. When I was done, he stuck his arm out, and ran it down the whole shelf, knocking everything off it. His mother just grabbed his hand and walked away. FML

Today, a child was choking in the store I work at. He was alone in the aisle, so I started the Heimlich without his parents' permission. After dislodging what was caught, his mother turned the corner and went screaming to my manager for touching her kid. I got a write up. FML

Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML

Today, I rescued a little boy who looked like he was drowning in a public pool. His mother then smacked me in the face for "touching him". FML

Today, I was at work as a grocery store cashier. I felt a hand slap my ass. Turning around I saw an old man winking at me and I screamed. When my manager came to deal with the problem she didn't believe me and gave the man a $25 gift card for "the trouble" I caused. FML

Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML

People can be absolutely despicable sometimes, huh? Maybe just overly paranoid...

No good deed goes unpunished... People need to camp down about the whole "pedo" paranoia.

Yeah Because a kidnapper would just return the child right. She's just trying to blame her carelessness on you OP. Don't take it hard on yourself. You Obviously did the right thing

Maybe if she knew her child was like spongebob and so irritating that the flying dutchman would give him back. She wad probably patiently waiting for him to turn up like “this kid's your problem now”

She's ridicules. She's luck you were the one that found the lost child vs some sicko that could have kidnapped him for real!

Seriously I wonder where people's gratitude is these days! I bet she just felt embarrassed that she couldn't keep a good eye on her kid.

You dumb-ass! If you find a lost kid in the store, you tie him or her up back in the stockroom, demand ransom from the mom, THEN you bring the kid to the front desk, pick up the loot and make a run for the waiting getaway car.

I love how parents these days seem to want to blame other people rather than themselves when it comes to watching over their own children. If I ended up losing my daughter in the store, and someone brought her to a safe place to wait for me rather than kidnapping her, I'd be so unbelievably grateful to them, and so ******* pissed off at myself for being stupid. Come on "parents," get with the program. Someone returned your kid, you could at least say "thank you."
