When madeline mccan went missing, my friend had a similar age daughter that looked similar to the pictures of her. When they were in an airport, a lady came over grabbed her by the shoulders and started shaking her shouting "maddie, maddie is that you?"

My child makes such an unbelievable scene when it’s time to leave the park I make sure to clearly be seen/conspicuous with him and chat up other parents so nobody calls the cops about a kidnapping when I’m forced to haul him out over my shoulder, kicking and screaming.

She reported him to security, then pepper-sprayed him after he told the security guard they were his kids? Wtf.
