I was in Target shopping for socks when a little girl, maybe 4 or 5, walked up crying, saying she lost her mom. I’ve got younger cousins and a heart, so I said, “Let’s find an employee,” and walked with her toward the front.
Apparently, walking off with a lost child, even toward help, triggers every single alarm Target has.
An employee saw me, panicked, and hit the Code Adam button. Within seconds, doors locked, intercoms blaring. I was frozen like a deer in headlights, holding this kid’s hand, wondering if I was about to be tackled.
Luckily, the mom came running up shouting, “That’s her, that’s my daughter!” which saved me from being profiled into the sun.
Employee apologized. I apologized. Kid was fine. I left sockless and traumatized.
TL;DR: Helped a lost kid in Target, accidentally triggered a Code Adam and nearly got tackled. Socks not acquired.
