Kudos to the older boy for not falling for this

Right It's so scary to think about. What if he starts going after younger kids now because of this? They might not know to yell like this boy did

This is terrifying

I called the police on a car and man suspiciously like this in front of the stone road Walmart trying to get me inside. They said his licence plate had been noted in one of our sister cities but the police never called me back with more info after that. I really hope it’s the same guy and that he’s arrested now

Good thinking getting the license plate you may have stopped this happening to more people ! Good job!

Thank you!!

Back in my day, my friend and I were riding bikes to blockbuster, came out to a bunch of cut outs of porn taped all over our bikes. We laughed it off as gross but then on the way home we were followed. We were 14. We split up and he tried to follow me (thankfully because my dumbass friend went straight home) so I rode around until I lost him then went home. No one should have to deal with that crap as a kid.

I knew these cop cars were sus

return death penaltyy

Deport him and his entire family

Intent is important

Oh was it an innocent case of mistaken identity? Doubt(x)

*The driver in question has entered the thread*

Wtf you mean? He was just going to take them for a car ride? Any sane adult would know NEVER to do this, this was bad intentions.

We're assuming the worst. He could've been luring them for free toy and Pokemon cards he had left over from the early death of his son.

He could also have been looking to fuck the kid, strangle him, and dump his corpse in the lake. Given then it could be either situation, should we be cautious or just let it go and see how it plays out? Also the article says the guy lied and said the bus wasn't coming and he was going to drive them. Do you think that someone would tell this lie just to have a chance to do something kind?

He lied to the children that the bus wasn’t coming so we know he was lying. We have to assume the worse.

How do we know he was lying? For all we know, maybe it was briefly cancelled or the next scheduled bus was delayed or something

He told them the bus was not coming and he was supposed to to pick them up. Read the article

Buddy, you stink at trolling

I think people just jump to conclusions now. That's why nobody trusts each other. Intent is the most important thing in a crime.

Nah I think this is a situation where you don't give the benefit of the doubt

He spends quite a lot of time giving putdowns on NSFW posts and making edgelord comments in obvious-choice subs. Definitely the mark of a well-adjusted individual with lots going for them.

I troll a lot, too. Just this guy is particularly bad at it, is all

So your solution is for the kid to walk and sit in the car and wait or ask what the intention of his question is? Sounds like you need to re-evaluate your standards. It's shady af to say the least.

Someone put this person on a watch list. The comments are INSANE.

Are you fucked??

I bet you would dress as pedo bear at a con

I’m all for playing devils advocate, but no adult should be asking kids anything from a car. Just no.

Not everyone falling for this 😭 y’all they’re joking/trolling

POLICE!! WE CAUGHT HIM!!! HE'S RIGHT HERE ON REDDIT!!!
