Father in Biracial Relationship Accused of Kidnapping His Own Children
Joseph took his three girls to Walmart
recently to cash a check, but he got more than he asked for upon
leaving, and we don’t mean he scored extra cash. After Joseph left the
store and picked up his wife Keana, the family arrived back at home to
find a cop car waiting.
"He asks us very sincerely, ‘Hey, I was sent here by Walmart security. I just need to make sure that the children that you have are your own,’” Joseph told FOC 5 News.
Joseph is white, Keana is black, and their three girls look more like their mom than their dad.
"Well, the customer was concerned because they saw the children with your husband and he didn't think that they fit," Keana said she was told. "And I said, ‘What do you mean by they don't fit?’ And I was trying to get [the officer] to say it. And she says, ‘Well, they just don't match up.’”

The
couple has been married for 10 years and has a 4-year-old daughter and
2-year-old twin girls. They say they have experienced their fair share
of racial insults before, but this accusation that their kids were
stolen by their own father takes the cake.
Walmart issued a statement in which they claim to be looking into the situation, but Joseph and Keana say they’ve already decided never to shop at Walmart again.
