Defend Innocence

I was scrolling through facebook, literally right after I did my live video early. I had touched on the topic of the Defend Innocence campaign with my company and what it meant. Directly after I am smacked in the face of a prime example of it! 

As a mother, this kind of stuff freaks me out! 

I can think back to a few instances when I was younger that were so inappropriate but I had no idea they were till now. I wasnt the prettiest. I was chunky and awkward so its not like I was hit on all the time or anything like that but when I did receive attention it was still shocking but I would usually brush it off. Luckily, my step dad raised me to know the difference between someone who is just flattering you to flatter you (butter you up, make you like them-they dont really like you, etc) and someone who genuinely appreciates you. 

However! There are situations like the one that I am going to speak about that are NEVER ok. 

So, I was scrolling through facebook and there is this other live video a mom had posted of this man surrounded by a bunch of other men (Im assuming to keep him there till the police arrived and thank god they stepped up to help this woman out!) This low life had gone into the dressing rooms of a rue 21, laid on the ground, and was watching a little 12 year old dress and apparently tried to grab at her! What in the absolute f***!!??!! 

Now, I applaud this woman for what she did in that situation. Had it of been my daughter in the dressing room .....it would have been a much different turn out and probably would have made the news (especially with all this hype about guns thats happening at the moment, that being said I have my concealed license and have been shooting since I was a kid so that man would either have been dead or missing his genitals.) 

If you read my old blog or know me from Facebook, you know Im not one to mess around or talk a bunch of talk and not back it up. I am not saying any of that to start a debate or get anyone up in arms about my right to carry vs this pathetic excuse of a mans life. His actions will affect that poor girl the rest of her life. She will always be scared to go into a fitting room. She will always feel like she has to watch over her shoulder. Her mothers life will always be affected from his actions. She will always fear for her daughter now, worse than she had before. Their safety or the feeling of their safety is now always going to be in question! She was 12! 12 years old! A child! He was a grown man...Why? Why should a grown man want to watch a 12 year old girl dress?? Or, grab at her for that matter???? That isnt a kink! It isnt ok! 

This mom chased him down, got the help of others to hold him there till the police arrived, and shared his face for the whole social media world to see. I applaud her for that. She wasnt silent. She didnt just let him get away with it. She didnt try to rationalize what he was doing. She didnt blame her daughter for his actions. She wasnt wearing anything risque. It wasnt the victims fault!

Have you ever had anything like this happen? Was it just brushed off?
