Intro

This was mailed to me recently. Like most e-mails that have been passed from person to person, one has no proof that any of the events described below ever happened. They may have, they may not have.

I would suspect that it is possible that such an event could occur; there is the occasional miscreant in society, although I would hope that such events occur are very rarely.

The person who e-mailed it to me tried to persuade me to e-mail everyone I know, although I don't think that is a sensible use of e-mail. So, I present the text of the story below for your perusal. Make of it what you will; I have no further information regarding this text.

The text

Wanted to share something that  happened today while shopping at Sam's 
Club. A mother was leaning over  looking for meat and turned around to 
find her 4 yr. old daughter was  missing. I was standing there right 
beside her, and she was calling her  daughter with no luck. I asked a 
man who worked at Sam's to announce it over  the loud speaker for 
Katie. He did, and let me say he immediately walked  right past me when 
I asked and went to a pole where there was a phone. He  made an 
announcement for all the doors and gates to be locked, a code  
something. So they locked all the doors at once. 
 
This took all of 3  minutes after I asked the guy to do this. They 
found the little girl 5  minutes later, in a bathroom stall. Her head 
was half shaved, and she was  dressed in her underwear with a bag of 
clothes, a razor, and a wig sitting on  the floor beside her to make 
her look different. 
 
Whoever this person  was, took the little 
girl, brought her into the bathroom, shaved half her  head, and 
undressed her in a matter of less than 10 minutes. This makes me  shake 
to no end. 
 
Please keep a close eye on your kids when in big places  where it's 
easy for you to get separated. It only took a few minutes to do  all of 
that - another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door. I am  
still in shock that some sick person could do this, let alone in a 
matter  of minutes. The days are over when our little ones could run 
rampant  all over the place and nothing worse would happen than them 
annoying people. 
 
The little girl is fine. Thank God for fast workers who didn't take  
any chances. BE SURE TO FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE, SO THEY KNOW JUST HOW  
SICK PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE!!! (This happened at the Sam's Wholesale Club 
in  Omaha, 
Nebraska.) 
 
This message has been added to the story above: I  received this e-mail 
from one of my friends today. Let me first tell you that  I work at the 
Sam's club in Lincoln, NE. 
 
The code that was spoken of  is 
called a "Code Adam" It is named after John Walsh's (of Americas  most 
wanted) son Adam who was kidnapped and murdered many years ago. It  is 
used in all Sam's Clubs, Wal-marts, and Wal-mart super centers to  
locate lost children. 
 
This is how it works. If by some means you have  been separated from 
your child, tell the nearest employee! The employee will  page a "Code 
Adam" (missing child in the store)over the intercom system  followed by 
a description of the child(height,weight, hair color, age, name,  etc). 
When that page goes out all the exits are immediately guarded,  and/or 
locked in some cases, also every employee will stop whatever they  are 
doing no matter what it is and help look for the missing child.  This 
will continue until the child is found. If the child is not found  
within a reasonable time then the police are notified and the store  
will conduct an aisle by aisle search. 
 
So if ever you are separated  from your child, now you know what to do. 
Missing children pictures hang by  the exits of all Wal-mart and Sam's 
club stores. Please take a few minutes to  look these over as you 
leave, you just might have seen one of the children on  them and you 
might be the one to give their parents hope and give the police  a new 
lead in finding them. Thank you. 
Sincerely,
