Dad left terrified after woman 'attempts to abduct' toddler in middle of busy shop

A distressed father has spoken of the terrifying moment a woman attempted to abduct his two-year-old son in a busy shop over the weekend.

Jon Baylis, who works for the NHS said he was left on his own to fend off the stranger in a Schuh shop in Cornwall while she screamed out 'that's my baby, he's taken my baby'.

The dad was calling out for help and says he feels very let down by the staff and other members of the public who ignored him and didn't call the police when it was obvious he and his son were in danger. Now, other parents have also come forward to say they were also followed by a woman of the same description in the city of Truro over the weekend, Cornwall Live reports.
