I had a situation kind of like this, a grown man befriending my young son and his friends. They started exchanging emails, and the guy started with that kind of talk "Oh, I am here for you, I understand feeling different and left out, I am your friend you can trust", blah blah. I saw the emails, then I wrote him back using his account.
I let the guy know, in no uncertain terms, that if he EVER had any kind of contact with any of the kids, I would handle things myself, and if he was real lucky, I would go to the police.
We never saw or heard of him again.
Watched a vid posted on FR the other night about ped rings in Hollywood...An Open Secret. They referred to it as “grooming”.
