Goosebumps and chills this weekend, that sinking feeling in the pit of your gut as I was in JCP this weekend. You hear the announcement CODE ADAM, doors instantly guarded, employees dropping what they are doing all combing every inch of the store, under racks, in drawers, dressing rooms, restrooms. So many employees that are backstage employees with radio's. We are looking for a white, 3 year old boy in a red tshirt. I saw a man approached multiple times that was Eastern Asian that had a preschool boy approach many times, the boy had a red shirt on. I watched manager walking with the Mother who was remarkably holding it together well. She was just slightly raising her voice walking the store call the boys name. Dad upstairs doing the same. Manager talking to police dispatcher on phone, getting frustrated as if she had to explain what a CODE ADAM was at JCP She finally hung up.
It was pretty obvious 20 minutes into the hunt the boy was gone from JCP, with all the staff hunting an likely every single customer looking, I know I was keeping my eyes peeled.
About 30 minutes later I saw Customer Service had a man behind the cash register, all other registers came to a halt obviously to look for the child. I was there about 5 minutes and a manager surfaced and another cashier. She told the man he was found, safe. Security had returned him to JCP to be reunited with his parents. Anyone familar with Woodfield it is one of the largest malls in America. The boy was found near Fannie May Candy which is at the Hub, block-maybe 2 blocks away. He came back escorted with 3 Fannie May lolly pops in his hand. Amen.
I've experienced a few CODE ADAMs in my life, one in a large waterpark. I found 2 lost preschoolers myself one in Six Flags and one at Blizzard Beach, I pointed to them that we were going to talk to the Uniformed person that worked there, careful not to spook them by taking their hand just guiding them by talking to them. At JCP I saw the beauty of humans as we were contained for sometime for the welfare of a child. I watched employees go above and beyond looking for the small boy obviously as unnerved as most of us were.
A happy ending.
that's why y'all are known for cheese and not molasses or rum...! 
They were supposedly quite fashionable back in the day
