So how we save little girls from monsters like David in real life?
I work as a cashier and today I was working at self checkout and 2 people caught my attention. Maybe I’m overthinking it but my gut kept telling me something was off.
There was this guy and a girl she seemed really young, I think the oldest she can be is 15 years old. I understand some people don’t look their age like myself I’m 20 but some people still think I’m in high school because I’m short and really skinny. But that girl seemed like a child! Even when I went to help them check finished the other and she thanked me, she sounded really like a little girl.
I’m still telling myself that maybe I’m overthinking it because the guy had exactly same aesthetic like David, the only difference is that he had a lot of facial hair.( before people accuse me of racism I’m a black woman). I try to reason that maybe they were siblings but the girl was white, totally different from the guy.
I couldn’t also understand why was he wearing a heavy black jacket in a 98 degree heat. I was not brave enough to ask the girl how old she was or any other question. I just stood there watching them leaving the store, the man walking in front and the girl following him behind.
Still now I’m still thinking what if that girl was a victim?? And did nothing to help!
So in a situation like this how do we suppose to act? Because I don’t want to lose my job because I accused a customer of a crime. Am I overthinking it??
