Dollar General Kidnapping

Have you seen the video that GMA posted of a man trying to kidnap a young girl in front of her mother!!!! The man was very persistent and wouldn't let go, even dragged the young girl around the store while her mother tried to chase him down. 
Absolutely horrifying. From the rapist who got 6months in jail to this public attempted kidnapping event, what the f*ck is going on?! Has society always been this messed up? I feel like there has been a recent influx in disturbing crimes! Am I the only one really freaked out by these recent events?
