Some lady tried to grab my 2-year old daughter (at the time) out of shopping cart in Costco in Irvine, CA. The police came, and despite marks on her body from trying to force my daughter out of her seat with the child restraint on and video evidence... she was not charged of anything.
In fact if we wanted to do anything, we would have been investigated for child endangerment (because we put our kids in a situation where she could have been taken was their logic), and could loose my kids if they see us as a danger before the prosecutors would do anything.That how fucked my situation was.
So what do I do? Risk everything for justice? The risk of losing my kids outweighed any sense of justice. And going vigilante is out of the question: I'd end up in jail, and my family needs me.
So if you don't think as a father myself I don't understand the rage of a child in danger and the anxiety that comes with having my hands tied I fucking do, more than most people.
One last thing, action speak louder than words: he hid the car out in the middle of nowhere to hide his tracks implies some fear of getting caught. And he did.
