Youngs said the stranger complimented her on how cute her baby was. She let the woman hold the child before things got weirder.

"I made a comment on how cute her dog was, and she went around to the front of my cart and made a comment about how cute my baby is," she said. "She made a comment saying, 'Yeah, I'll trade you my dog for your baby,' and I thought she was just joking."

Youngs said the woman started to walk away with the baby but gave the child back. Police haven't charged the stranger.
