A man who wishes to remain anonymous took a selfie with a Darth
Vader display at a Target in Australia; he and his kids love Star
Wars. When he took the photo, he spoke to some children nearby and
told them what he was doing, according to the Knox Leader. That's
when the mother of the children saw the interaction, followed the
man outside of the store, took a picture of him, and shared on
Facebook what she thought had happened — a pedophile
inappropriately speaking with her children and taking pictures.
The Facebook post called the man a "creep" and detailed the
actions the mother took to protect her children, including alerting
the police and security at the store. Until deletion, the story had
been shared over 20,000 times. After being told by his friends
about the post and photo, the man went to the police and cleared
his name — but not before receiving death threats and dealing with
repercussions that affected his family and children. The mother,
who also wishes to remain anonymous, has since deleted the post and
apologized, but is now receiving death threats herself for sparking
a mob against the man.
