Be careful....

Got this from Sting's blog.

I was shocked to read it and will like to share it here so you all be careful and warn your family and friends. Its a real thing that happened to her friend and she shared her friend's email.

Dear all

Hope you are well. Would just like to share with you something that happened yesterday afternoon in hope that the knowledge will help parents prepare against such a happening.

There was an attempt to kidnap my baby from my parents’ house yesterday late afternoon (6.45p.m.). A black coloured car (make unknown) with a young Chinese couple (well dressed, polite and well spoken) came by my parents house. When my mom answered the door bell and went to the front gate they claimed to be relatives of my husband (said my husband’s surname) and that they had been asked the grandmother to come pick up my baby to bring my baby back. My mom told them that she is the grandmother and they responded by saying its my husband’s mom. Luckily my mom told them to wait and that she was going in to call my husband. When she went back into the house (locked both the grill and wooden door after her) and called my husband, they left.

We confirmed with my mother-in-law that she hadn’t send anyone over. Nor did most of his relatives know our house. Have made a police report.

Please take the following precautions (please tell your kids/maids/moms/babysitters):
-Don’t go near the gate – make sure you stand a distance away when you speak with any visitors so that they cant reach and grab you or spray things into your face

- Keep the phone number of the security guard or local police beat in a prominent place both upstairs and downstairs for emergencies.

-Brief (and repeat on and off) your kids/maid/moms/babysitters to never let your children go with anyone other than yourself or to first call and verify and confirm with you.
