    I’m sure there are alot of adults who would like to get him in a shed.Always wonder why young kids are not supervised better?

    I wonder if this is related to the other child lurings that have been happening?

    I hope the parents find him first cuz all the police and our court system are going to do is give him a home 3 meals a day for about 6 months if that then he will be back on the street praying on innocent children. Why not he didn’t get much of a punishment the first time if it his first I doubt it. So here’s to the parents catching him first it’s the only way to truly end his praying on children….
