A 3-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in a Wal-Mart, and now police are asking for help in catching the suspect. The disturbing case of child sex abuse occurred two weeks ago in Orem. The abuse happened May 14 while the girl was sitting in a shopping cart. But the suspect's actions were caught on surveillance tape, and now police are turning to the public for help in finding this child predator. The video shows the suspect in the store for about an hour, and police say it appears he had only one reason for being there: to molest a child. "He arrives at the store, walks in, and for roughly an hour he walks around Wal-Mart kind of passively looking at things. But for the most part, you see him shadowing small children," said Sgt. John McCombs, with the Orem Police Department. The video even shows the man approach a young child sitting in the shopping cart.

You know...that is scary! I have to admit if I have to run back to the aisle I was just on--I don't think I would think about something happening like that--at least I didn't before! I can't remember a time I ever did that but I am almost positive I did if I had an older kid with me. Would that of stopped him though?
I hope they catch this guy--they should be able to nail him for "attempted" molestation of the other child, is that correct? This makes me sick. Things that I wouldn't of worried about when my 15 year old was 4 or 5--they are looked at so much stricter now because of things that are happening more and more.
