Hi parents and soon-to-be parents be caotious

Hi parents and soon-to-be parents,

A friend of my husband told him this true story which happened to his own sister in our very own Mid Valley City (for the benefit of those overseas, MVC is large shopping complex in KL) :-

The friend's sister and her husband where having a meal in one of the restaurants in MVC with their young son. Then suddenly, they were intruded by a big fat lady who tried to be very annoying and intrusive. They tried their best to get rid of this stranger. As all this commotion was going on, the husband noticed that their young son was no longer sitting at the table with them. When the husband looked around for his son, he saw that the little boy was walking towards a man outside the restaurant who was beckoning him to come over. The husband quickly got up from his seat and started calling out his son's name.
This was when the big fat lady gave a 'hand cutting neck' signal to her accomplice outside indicating that the 'mission' was to be aborted. The man and the fat lady then disappeared out of sight. I'm sure you have heard of syndicates out there that are kidnapping young children, handicapping them and then putting them out on the streets to beg. This story shows that what we've heard is very true. We've also been told that the 'targeted' children are those who are between the ages of 2 to 5.
And, the fairer they are, the better the price they'll fetch too. My hope is that you'll let your family and friends know of this story and ask them to always be alert when they take children out.

Please feel free to pass this email to anyone whom you think will benefit from it.

A very wise man had said this to me about this family -- "... you are all I work so hard for. If I don't have that, nothing else matters at all."

I couldn't agree with him more. Warmest regards, Satyam
