— Son, what happened? Who was that woman? What was she talking to you about? — I asked, wiping away his tears.

And what he told me horrified me.  Continued in the first comment 

At first, he said, the woman came up to him and suggested they play together. Then, suddenly changing the subject, she said something terrible:

— Your parents have been lying to you all this time. I’m your real mother. And they are strangers.

My son, confused and frightened, tried to protest:

— No! I have a mom, and that’s her!

But the woman didn’t stop there. She tried to convince him that they had to go home together, and even grabbed his hand. When my son pulled away and screamed, she panicked and ran off.

To this day I still can’t recover from it. Who was that woman? Why did she try to take my child? Maybe she was just a disturbed stranger, or maybe she had even more sinister intentions.

Since that day, I haven’t left my son’s side for even a moment.

Dear mothers, please be careful. Even if it seems like your child is completely safe, even if he is playing just a few steps away from you.
