Can you ever fully protect your kids from crazy? That's the question one mom must be asking herself as she let her 9-year-old girl wander off in a Best Buy store, only to have the girl almost get killed by a psychopath. James Tadros, a complete stranger to the girl, allegedly followed her, forced her into the ladies' room, wrapped a plastic bag over her head, and held her head inside the toilet. Thank goodness a customer heard her scream and alerted employees, who rushed into the bathroom and rescued the girl. But she will no doubt have nightmares for a very long time.

Surveillance video inside the Best Buy in Jacksonville, Florida, reportedly shows 29-year-old Tadros luring the girl away from her mother (unclear how exactly he did this) and then forcing her into the bathroom.

There, he allegedly beat her bloody, threw a plastic bag around her head, and tried to drown her inside the toilet. When an employee heard her screams and rushed into the bathroom, the girl was able to escape the six-foot tall, 250-pound man. Other employees were able to hold the man until police arrived.

If all of this is true and he's found guilty, this is one sick bastard who should not be out on the streets AT ALL. He came to the scene of the crime with a plastic bag -- so he had something planned. He also got a young girl into a public bathroom in a very public place inside of a store with tons of people and cameras -- and then tried to kill her. He obviously does not even have the capacity to understand that what he was did would be quickly found out and he'd be caught. This leads me to believe he has a very strong desire to kill young children.

But since he was charged with attempted murder, this could mean he will get out eventually. Shudder.

It's unclear where the girl's mother was during the attack, but at least one report says she was in the store. Moms do have a tendency sometimes of letting their children wander in stores when they feel safe and complacent -- I see it all of the time. And the vast majority of the time, it's fine. But in this instance it almost resulted in this little girl's horrific death.

Do you feel safe with your kids in stores? Should this man ever be let out of prison if he's found guilty?

Dad Sues Store Because Boots Made His 4-Year-Old Daughter Trip

Have you ever met a parent who is always looking to blame someone when anything happens to their child? Well, I haven't met Shahan Stephanian, but my guess is he may be one of those.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the man from Pasadena, Calif., recently filed a lawsuit against Nordstrom. He says an employee at the store who was fitting his 4-year-old daughter for boots, put her in some that too big for her. Apparently she measured at about a size 11-12, but the employee had her try a 13 so there would be room to grow (something I actually appreciate as a parent). When the employee told her to walk toward a shelf to see how they felt, she tripped and hit her head.

Ouch. Apparently, it was a pretty hard fall as the lawsuit claims she suffered "serious injuries to her person. Said injuries include a laceration to her left eyebrow and eyelid area, which has left a permanent and very noticeable scar.”

I feel bad for her. I bet Nordstrom felt bad for her. But to sue over this incident is ridiculous, especially now since this happened in 2006! Nordstrom issued a statement saying they have let Stephanian know several times that they "welcome the opportunity to resolve his issues directly." But apparently he's not interested in something that civil.

The lawsuit says the girl was "too young to appreciate the danger of walking in boots that were too large or did not fit properly.” It claims the sales person "had a duty to use reasonable care to present the plaintiff with boots that were safe and of an appropriate size so that plaintiff would not have difficulty walking in said boots and/or would not stumble or fall while walking in said boots."

Her mother was there shopping with her, so she definitely could have intervened at any point. If anyone should be accountable, it's definitely her, but daddy doesn't see it that way -- probably because all the dollar signs in his eyes are in the way.

The bottom line is that it was an accident. Those happen a lot in life, and suing for something like this is just ridiculous. The worst part of it is the example this man is setting for his daughter -- to not take responsibility for yourself and your family but to pass blame whenever you can ... especially when there's something to potentially gain.

What do you think of this lawsuit?

Cuerpo de desaparecidos Brenna Machus encontrado en los bosques cercanos a su trabajo de Dollar Store

Tenemos una actualización desgarradora de la historia sobre el Dearborn, MichiganFamily Dollar Store clerk que desapareció después de un asesinato y robo. Twenty-year-old de Brenna Machus cuerpo fue encontrado en una zona boscosa de dos kilómetros de la tienda. Ahora sabemos donde está... pero nuestros peores temores se han vuelto realidad. Lo siento por de Machus amigos y familias. Todos esperábamos que ella se encuentra viva y pronto.

Brenna sólo iba a trabajar, tratando de ganarse la vida, y esto le pasó a ella. Cuando dejó su trabajo ese día, probablemente no tenía idea que acabaron con las cosas tan horriblemente por ella. Lo mismo con su compañero de trabajo, Joe Orlando. Ninguno de los dos merecía morir ayer. Y ahora es aún más imperativo que policía encontrar a su asesino.

Como mencionamos antes, parece que el atacante pudo haber sabido Joe o Brenna --o tal vez dos de ellos. La cámara de vigilancia muestra saludando a alguien dentro de la tienda antes de entrar. Sabemos de muchos otros casos que es mucho más probable a ser atacado por alguien a quien conoces que por un extraño. Eso puede hacer que encontrar al culpable más fácil para la policía, pero nunca hace las cosas más fácil para los seres queridos de las víctimas dejados atrás.

Espero que encuentren el atacante pronto. Policía está interrogando a una mujer que estaba en la tienda esa noche y está buscando una segunda mujer que también estaba en la tienda. Tienen algunos prometedores conduce hasta ahora, y el caso está todavía fresco.

Mientras tanto, una "estrella brillante", como describe a la madre de Brenna Lisa, se fue del mundo. Comenzamos el día con la noticia de un asesinato, y ahora hay dos. Nos compadecemos a familia de ambas víctimas.

¿Crees que la policía encontrará pronto el culpable?
