Sex trafficking or am i paranoid?

Question

Recently since school has been out I have been going to the store more often during the day, I notice A LOT of men with babies in strollers or toddlers in a cart. Which obviously i wouldn’t think anything of but i kept seeing them, and they were kind of circling me. I’m 5’3 and 140 pounds. I got very nervous and got my stuff and left and of course was very careful leaving the store and getting into my car. Thoughts? Anyone else noticed this?

Answer

My husband takes our baby for a walk, to do groceries, to relieve me etc. because he's his father. I would hope no one thinks it's because he's a sex trafficker. 
It is sexist to assume only women take on that role of being a caregiver. But if this incident is particularly specific in the sense of one man following you and the pram is empty, then there is something creepy happening. Otherwise you may be paranoid

Answer

I dont know what this has to do with sex trafficking!! So if my husband takes my toddler to the grocery store, he's going to get looked at like he's a sex trafficker? I'm lost.

Answer

Dads with babies?
I mean I wouldn’t think twice about it unless the same person/people kept following me for extended periods of time.

Answer

I think social media has you paranoid. Most sex trafficking isn’t some man kidnapping you from a store parking, that’s actually rare. The most common form is young girls in bad homes getting “recruited” by their boyfriends to sleep with different people, or parents selling their kid’s bodies. That’s way more common when it comes to sex trafficking. 
They are men taking care of their children, try not to demonize them. None of them came up to you and tried to get you to go back to their car AND they had their kids. If someone is going to take you they are not going to bring a child along as it would slow them down 🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

This is not how sex traffickers work! Stop being so paranoid and educate yourself.

Answer

I think you're over thinking it. A lot of the time its just because you are buying similar items

Answer

You mean dads with kids running errands? Thats just called parenting

Answer

If it happens again, you can head to a different section of the store(at mine id pick the seasonal section), and stay there looking at items for a bit- if no one follows you to also camp out by what you’re looking at you’re plenty safe. 
Unfortunately most of the stores I frequent have a fairly simple route that everyone sticks to, so most of the time I end up either feeling stalked or being the stalker looking person- just because we need the same aisles.

Answer

I think you're paranoid and over reacting. Men are allowed to take their children out by themselves without their wives or girlfriends. I'd be very offended if someone thought my husband was child sex trafficker by being in Target grabbing groceries or at the park. I think you should do some research to find out how sex trafficking actually works

Answer
