But what really unsettles Sammie is that her son seemed so willing to go - he even smiles (an aberrant behavior, for Samson) as he’s being abducted. This brush with disaster would be terrifying enough on its own. Sammie doesn’t buy it and calls the police, but the man gets away.
The man claims he only wanted to show Samson his CB radio. She sprints in their direction, screaming wildly, and manages to snatch Samson just in time. By the time she realizes what’s happening, it’s almost too late the man who took Samson’s hand and led him to the parking lot is already luring the boy into his truck. Kristen Arnett’s sophomore novel, With Teeth, opens with a harrowing scene: a four-year-old boy is nearly kidnapped from a playground when his mother, Sammie, briefly turns her back.
