Nicole O’Kelly couldn’t believe it when she heard the stuffed toy she bought for her daughter at Monster Jam may have a symbol meant for pedophiles.
“I’m absolutely sick. I bought this for my 2-year-old little girl. This toy was made for little girls. I wanted answers,” O’Kelly said.
When she got the answers as to why there was a strange heart symbol on her daughter’s stuffed toy truck she nearly threw up. The souvenir recently purchased at a Monster Jam event held a sick secret; a disgusting calling card for creeps. The heart on the toy was a symbol for pedophiles.
“This is pink,” O’Kelly said. “This is for little girls, especially at a predominately male event.”truck-symbol1
The more News Channel 8 investigated this case, the worse it got. This toy, we learned, wasn’t made far away. It was designed in the Tampa Bay area, at Feld, Inc.
Here’s what the heart means. When a pedophile sees children with the heart symbol, it’s a code. It means this child is ready to be traded for sex.
Pasco Detective Anthony Bassone has been with the agency for more than 16 years. He has one tough job every day. And, what he encounters, he can’t forget. He has to see the worst of the worst. He picks out pedophiles online and busts them, along with two other detectives in the cyber crimes unit at the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
These investigators have to deal with the most horrendous, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking material. Sadly, they see children tortured and raped on a daily basis.
These crime-fighters make it through with their motivation to protect children and keep them safe. What drives these detectives to do their jobs and face another day, they told us, is to put the bad guys away.
The company, Feld Inc, admits they are shocked and did not realize this was going on. They have since pulled the toys from the shelves. Anyone who attended the Monster Jam event on January 16th or February 6th should contact detectives.
A company spokesperson released the following statement:
“We’re shocked. We had no idea. We reacted immediately. We wanted to do the right thing as quickly as possible. Clearly we’re in the business with providing high quality family entertainment. This was really obscure. Until yesterday, I had no idea there was an underlying meaning of these symbols and the deplorable behavior. We just don’t know if a crime was committed here. We have not been contacted by LEOs. We just want to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” said Stephen Payne, with Feld Inc.
Irrational fear.
How would the liberal watchdog for the bizarre know to debunk this? There was a time when I would have told you that the rainbow would never represent sodomites.
I think I’d believe to be true anything snopes says is false.
Hell will freeze over or longer than that the Jets will win a Super Bowl before Snopes shows enough intellectual honesty to debunk the “hands up don’t shoot” narrative.
Sounds like dumb urban legend stuff.
Or if you want to talk about a reeeaaaallllyyyy long time . . . until the Detroit Lions win a super bowl.
That’s exactly what it is. Remember when TV stations were pushing jenkem as the big scare?
21st century America, where
“In God we Trust,” has been
replaced with, “You owe me an apology.”
2. WHAT does the ROSE logo mean? What does the FIST logo mean? Did any of you ask that? Could the creator of the stupid toy have grabbed 3 random logos from something like THIS?:

3. How come the "newz" reporter didn't interview the toy maker if they are "in their backyard"?
4. What is the (almost invisible from 3 feet away) logo going to accomplish? Are pedophiles going to magically appear out of nowhere to attack the kids? Is there a homing beacon in the toy somewhere? (in the future with RFID, well, nevermind...)
5. Social media, and facebook are making MORE people MORE STUPID then ever. This is incredible... Do any of you think about what you are consuming on social media, and if your outrage even makes sense when exposed to the slightest scrutiny?
WAKE UP MORONS
Actually while this case is somewhat vague, the symbol is used as a sticker. Say a parent goes for ice cream. The kid is given a cone with a cute sticker on the napkin. This signals an abducter that that child is maybe with a single mom or whatever. It marks the child for abduction or worse.
Its good to know this and have no issue with attention being drawn to it.
That signals an abductor that he is about to get the chance to explain to his maker just what in the he11 he was doing.
The symbol looks identical, but I doubt it’s being used in the manner they claim.
Looking at what supposedly the FBI said are coded images for pedophilia, that heart does resemble them. It even includes the smaller heart within a larger heart (representing the nature of pedophilia itself in that the the larger person preys on the smaller) which the FBI information sheet draws attention to.
It would be interesting to discover how that heart got on the toy. Who was responsible? It might have been done in ignorance, but then again, it might easily have been a pedophile who decided to include it in order to express himself. If so, he might be someone preying on children (he certainly at least wants to and sees nothing wrong with it) who has been getting away with it up until now.
Then there's that weird Jane Seymour heart shaped symbol that you know is up to no good...
It could have been innocently put on there in complete ignorance by someone having no idea that pedophiles use this heart design as a symbol. But it also could have been put there deliberately by a pedophile working for the company as a designer and who would likely see doing something like as “empowerment”. Hopefully the police will determine how the symbol got there. The company is likely to as well, given that this is costing them in bad publicity and wasted product, and they will know who the responsible party is and will likely look that person over very closely.
Either way, any company who becomes aware of what this heart design means shouldn’t include it on any of its products.
I wonder what the reaction would be if Confederate flags were placed on those toys? (as if we didn’t know)
