A concerned mother in Melbourne, Australia, took to social media to expose the male “creep” who took a photo of her children at Target in the Westfield Knox Shopping Centre. The thing about that is, no, he didn’t. Last Wednesday, the unnamed mom wrote on her Facebook, “He said ‘hey kids’ they looked up and he took a photo, then he said I’m sending this to a 16 yr old.”
The man in question did take a photo, but it wasn’t of her kids; it was for his children.
“As I was walking out of Target I saw a very large Darth Vader cut out for taking photographs. It said ‘May the 4th be with you’ – and I’ve got three children and they love all that Comic-Con, Supernova, science fiction stuff,” he said.
The man said he took a quick selfie and saw a number of kids sitting down nearby and lining up to get their photo taken. “I said ‘I’ll only be a second, I’m taking a selfie to send to my kids.’ There was no parent present. (Via)
The mother, believing this peak dad (“supernova, science fiction stuff”) was doing something inappropriate, took a photo of him as he was leaving the store, and shared it online. Once he got wind of what happened, the man, who reportedly received death threats, “immediately drove to Knox Police Station to identify himself.” An area detective, commenting on what happened, implored concerned citizens to “contact police and report the matter as opposed to turning to social media.” Or else every middle-aged selfie-taker at Disney World will be shamed online.
Only a third of them deserve to be.

“Over this interview is! “
Moral of the story: Nothing good ever comes from selfies.
We should start publicly shaming these busy-bodies who have nothing better to do… or make them wear a scarlet letter, I’m thinking a big old “C” should do nicely.

You can always trust a poorly written Facebook post.
So, shitty parent that leaves her children alone while she is off shopping gets upset because at worst, a guy MAYBE took a photo of her kids?
She does know that photos don’t actually steal your soul, right?
HAHA, now the tables have turned and she has the gall to ask not to be named:

Accusations of death threats get thrown around WAY to liberally.
I thought parents love it when you pay attention to their fuck trophies? Now they are all mad when you do it? Fuck you people. It’s crazy moms like that, that have me a married man without children extremely terrified when a little kid so much as blinks at me, I don’t want to get arrested for waving back or something.
That mother is obviously a star trek fan.
like I always tell people .. I don’t hate kids I hate their shitty parents .. how is it you’re leaving your kids unattended. . I have two kids and I’m constantly watching them like a hawk in public areas .. someone needs to put this chick on blast or being to stupid to parent properly
Twitter mobs are always looking for the new Frankenstein’s monster to hunt down and kill with fire.
Fuck this Woman and all beings like her.
I don’t know if stores are different there than in the UK, but how can you watch a movie in the children’s clothing section?
Unless it was on a portable device and the shitty mother left them alone with a relatively expensive piece of kit while she fucked around by herself.
