Joseph went shopping with his three bi-racial daughters at a Woodbridge, Virginia, Walmart and was mistaken for their possible abductor.
Have you ever been shopping and noticed children walking with someone that it seems they shouldn’t be? For instance, an adult that is a different race than the child? Well, with all of the abductions we’ve seen lately, it seems that folks are taking Charles Ramsey’s advice and being proactive. Getting some “cajones!”
It definitely takes cajones to walk up to a man with his daughters and ask him what he’s doing with them. A Woodbridge, Virginia, Walmart sent police officers after Joseph, a white man that had been shopping with his three biracial daughters. His wife, Keana, is black woman who was outraged once police showed up on their doorstep asking questions about why Joseph was with the girls, according to Fox 5 D.C.
Joseph and Keana are parents of three daughters that a Walmart customer thought were being abducted…by their dad.
She said that a customer told Walmart security that they “Didn’t fit!”
“Well, the customer was concerned because they saw the children with your husband and he didn’t think that they fit,” Keana told the news station. “And I said, ‘What do you mean by they don’t fit?’ And I was trying to get her to say it. And she says, ‘Well, they just don’t match up.’”
The couple said they will never shop in Walmart again.
Check out their story. Do you think it was right for the customer to alert authorities to Joseph and his daughters? Would you have done the same?
