And once I was I the toy section and he came up and grabbed me by my pu$$y. I was uncomfortable but didn’t tell my Mom. The next time we went I told her I didn’t want to go and after a while of questioning I admitted what happened. I will never forget the look on her face. We ended up going there and my Mother made a big scene in the store and told him off in front of his wife and daughter and we left. She told my Dad at dinner that night and he wanted to go there right away but the store was closed. on the weekend he went and got inthe guys face also. It turns out he had done it to several little girls and it had been reported got the police. This was in the late 60’s. We never went there again.
