Local media reported a scary case of highly skilled child abductors who led away a girl at a Taipei hypermarket and very nearly got away with it. The two middle-aged women had acted "so naturally" when they led the child away from her father, who was distracted by a business phone call, the father said on Facebook. Had he not noticed at the last moment and called his daughter back, she would have been gone, he wrote. After studying the surveillance camera footage, police said that the women had acted so innocently most likely because they were innocent. They had apparently reached for the girl because they were worried that shopping carts would hit her while her father was taking his business call, police said.
