Dachshund Dabbing Be My Valentine shirt

This is my sisters story, I was 5 and she was 11 at the time. I lived in Georgia for a few months while my parents were deployed there and we stayed on base in a Dachshund Dabbing Be My Valentine shirt. In our neighborhood everyone knew everyone and since ours was connected to a civilian neighborhood we would all play together. I was on a walk with my older sister and apparently this old man started following us, we didnt notice at first but he started walking faster. When he got too close my sister turned around and he walked up to a house and went up to the door. My sister started to freak out and we hurried home. She told our Mom and she asked around. No one knew who that guy was. She contacted the HOA president of the other neighborhood and he said the same thing. Later we found out he had tried to kidnap another kid that lived a few houses down from us. There was a police investigation and my sister had to give a statement. I’ll never stop being grateful to my sister cause we could have gotten taken that day.

I almost got picked up as a Dachshund Dabbing Be My Valentine shirt, too. I’m so grateful my parents taught me about “stranger danger” and not to get in the car with strangers. I was walking home from the bus stop and this man slowed down and drove next to me, rolled down his window and asked me to get in the car. I ran the fuck home and didn’t tell anyone for years. In hindsight, I should have told my parents but I knew they would freak out and I didn’t want them to be scared, too.
