The first alleged incident involved to a 12-year-old boy and happened Wednesday morning.
The second alleged incident around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday on Perdue Avenue, just south of Agler on the city’s Northeast Side.

Maybe what needs to be done is to find a parent of one of the kids that use these various bus stops that is willing donate the time to wait with the kids until the bus comes. I’ve seen parents do this near my home. some times even when kids are getting off the bus. the time spent is well worth the kids safety.
I e-mailed Donna Willis. She replied, “It was important to let other local parents know about the incident. Telling where the school is located address-wise shouldn’t be problematic. It’s easily accessible information.“
I agree that parents should be made aware of the problem, but they just told more information than I think they needed to. If anything happens to this kid, I hold NBC responsible.
Oh, I agree especially since that is my area. I hope I get to see the perv, because I’ve got something for him. I hope he reads this post.
“Mr. Perv, do you realize what neighborhood you are messin’ around in? If so I suggest you leave our little ones alone, because we do teach them how to aggresively protect themselves, and best believe we are not too far behind. That is why little man picked up the brick, next time that brick “will” make contact with your face. And it “will be the last day you ever see a child.“
No DOUBT!! I agree with the first post. Why would NBC add the childs school in their report!! Im sure criminals read the news too! I watch the news everyday and see reports that talk about murdering and kidnapping and then they describe how it is done, it doesnt make sense,,, it gives the next killer a new way to think about how they are going to slay or kidnap their next victim!! Seriously. Post what is necessary without giving up all the fine details.
The boy in this news story, was smart enough to NOT tell where he went to school. And yet, NBC decided that they would not only tell the name of the school, but give the possible child molestor the address. What is wrong with this picture????????
