I'm pretty pissed

Two men in a black van tried to strike up a conversation with one of my twins yesterday at their bus stop. Luckily, they were smart enough not to go near them. I've talked to the other parents in the neighborhood and let them know. 

 

I'll be at their bus stop today, and I have something for them if they try to stop again. 

 

There is absolutely zero reason why any adults should feel the need to stop their vehicle and try to chit chat with my sons.

Holy poo. That's scary.

That poo is serious. Honestly no one would go talk to little kids. Unless there worried about their safety. I was at the store the other day and I saw a 2 year old boy just wondering around by himself I went behind him just to make sure he found his parents and looked for store employees to inform them. So that's the only reason I can think of. My parents always sat in the car with us waiting for the bus to come with us.

Who the hell stops their vehicle to talk to kids they don't know except for child abducters? Is there any reason anyone can think of? Have you ever had the urge to stop and talk to an 11 year old? 

 

There are a few perhaps. For example, if they were asking for directions.  What did they talk about with your son?  Don't get me wrong, I agree you have every right to be suspicious.  And in fact, if the conversation itself was suspicious, it might be a good idea to let the police know.

They complimented him on his skate board, Asked him if he could do tricks, small talk kind of stuff. 

 

Yeah, the police know. 

 

I knew instantly just from my son's demeanor that he was weirded out by the men.

Sometimes I forget my kid isn't with me and I catch myself making goofy faces at other kids to make them laugh....I then realize that my kid isnt with me (who I try and get to belly laugh all the time) and I feel like that parent must think I'm a creep.

Parents worst nightmare. You consider calling the cops also? It would be a shame if something happened to another child. I would call and just give them a heads up of what happened because it's definitely suspicious. 

 

I remember when I was a kid, I was playing in the front yard and some guy pulled up and tried the old "Can you help me find my dog?" trick. I started to walk towards the car then got a bad feeling and took off to the house.

Called the cops last night. They are going to "get back to me"

 

One of the other kids dad is a police lieutenant, I told his wife at the bus stop this morning. I am guessing that will get a more serious response.

Dude my dog was really lost...

 

 

 

 

Seriously tho, that sucks, I always worried about that poo with my kids and they were pretty good about stuff like that.

 

One time my airhead wife left the garage door open with them home alone, they were around 14 and 10 at the time, and my oldest heard something in the garage.  He knew his mom had left so he locked the inside door, and then heard someone trying it... he took his brother upstairs and hid.  When their mom got home, some stuff had been stolen out of the garage...  it only takes one silly mistake for something bad to happen because assholes are out there that don't care anything but themselves.

 

11 is an age where kids are trying to be independent, but aren't really ready for it yet... I'm glad Zod's boys had the good sense to stay away from those weirdos.   No reason at all for an adult to talk to kids that age without other adults around that I can think of.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
