Did the guy grab the kid and take him outside or not?
He was walking with the kid towards the door, the mother grabbed the boy right before then. If he was intending to let go before he left there’s no way to know from the video.
And I really don’t understand what video everyone is watching, because without assuming his innocence everything I see is straight out of the predator playbook. He may not be guilty, but there are huge red flags with or without the explanation. And I’m truly hoping it was an honest dumb mistake on his part, but all I see from the video is that he needs evidence if he wants to fully exonerate himself and confirm his story is not an alibi. Hopefully he has that evidence, and I want it to be true because he looks like a nice guy, but that alone is not enough.
I do wish the story did not go public until they determined he was guilty.
