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 goddaughters (3&5 att) had to watch their dad actually attack a woman who was trying to put them into her car “just until the police arrive and they are sure about all this”
It was literally some woman in her late 40s walking her dogs in the park and she felt that because they “didn’t look like him” (they’re basically gender swapped clones) she could take matters into her own hands and ‘save’ these children
Apparently she screamed like a banshee when he shoved her to the ground and tried to tell the police he choked her
She got arrested and got 10 months thanks to a ring cctv camera looking over the park from someones garden, her vintage clothing shop also went out of business which sounds like a happy ending but every time my mate brings up this story his hands start to tremble and he stutters bc that whole 20 minute event has set in this strong anxiety that whenever he is out alone, with his own fucking children, people see him as a criminal

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