*The following article contains discussion of sexual assault.

People on social media are horrified after a viral video seems to have caught a potential kidnapper following a young girl around a Walmart.


The video was filmed by a mom who noticed a "weirdo" who seemed to be tracking her daughter all over the store while they shopped.

Once the man was identified, the woman looked him up, and he turned out to be a registered sex offender. She's now using the incident to warn other parents about the dangers of human trafficking.

See her TikTok about the experience below.

The mother, who goes by @dd_escapades on TikTok, began her video in the shoe aisle of the Walmart, zooming in on the man.

She described how he seemed to be tracking them.

“I don’t know him, and he’s following me and recording me."

A few moments later, when she turned her camera back to the place where the man had been standing, he had left. The mother said she thinks he left because she was filming him.

“Now he’s gone, after he realized I started recording him."

The woman then found a Walmart employee and showed them her footage, and the management had him removed from the store.

Later, the woman posted a follow-up TikTok sharing what she had found out about the man.

She said in her video:

“He has been identified. He is a registered sex offender, class 1. … He was arrested for molestation and rape."

The woman also revealed she had shared both her footage and the Walmart's security footage with police.

In a second follow-up video, she said she intends to press charges against the man.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
