The Facebook post with the video read in part:

"People please beware, always ALWAYS keep an eye on your kids when visiting restaurants, malls or any public area. This little boy was nearly kidnapped if it wasn’t for the vigilance of his mother and father who spotted the child being picked up by a person and taken away from the play area. From my conversation with the mother, criminal proceedings are underway…"
