Dear FYBA Parents, It has been brought to the attention of the FYBA Board that within the last week, on 2 separate occasions, a man has tried soliciting kids in our organization to come play action figures with him on the bleachers at Mulberry Park. At this time we don't have a good description of who this is but we want to make everyone aware of the situation.

We have contacted Forney PD to make them aware of this situation and we also sent them the emails we received from the concerned parties involved. We would like to remind everyone to please keep a close eye on your children while at the park. If you see something suspicious please find a board member or call Forney PD.

And with all the phones with cameras these days, take the guy's photo!

This is a good time to reinforce the Stranger Danger message.

Thanks for posting huneyg.

Though the guy may be harmless, the chances are that he is trying to see how much he can get away with even with adults all around. Talk to your kids about this and make sure if he approaches them they come directly to you and point him out. I spent 10 years in law enforcement and things like this often lead to said perv trying to get a kid to leave with him. Do not be afraid to warn your kids about this guy and everyone should be watching out for each other.

As B1 said, this may be a completely harmless, explainable, misunderstanding.... or it may be a full blown child predator.
I would suggest to anyone who spots this individual, or any individual engaging in suspicious behavior that, to the extent safely possible, they get:
1. vehicle license plate
2. vehicle description (esp any odd or unique features of vehicle, body damage etc.)
3. suspect description
These are the most important tools that can be provided to any local law enforcement to fully investigate the situation.
