POLICE and LCSW are on the lookout for a vehicle this afternoon which reportedly attempted to lure children into it, sources tell TLS. The vehicle, described as a grey Honda Civic or possibly Accord, was seen in the area of 14th Street area today reportedly attempting to pick up the children by calling them to the vehicle and offering them to play in his vehicle.
The children, both girls, were approximately 8 years old.
The CIU was called to investigate after a private video surveillance captured the vehicle on camera.
Anyone with information is asked to call Police as well as LCSW. TLS.
Thank you lcsw u guys are awesome!! Keep up the great work 🙂
were they frum?
Thank you LPD,you guys are the greatest! Sorry #1 for stealing the title.
Did The Camera Capture The License? The Description Is Very Broad. Other Details Would Help Us Out
Kudos to the parents of the children that taught them never to get into a strangers car
please teach your children NEVER to get into a strangers car- no matter the story (example: your parents got hurt……)no mater if they look like your race or religion. dont be fooled.
landlords fault!
CIU I working on getting the plates from the video…Thank you LPD,CIU and LCSW first responder P.W +1!
Another reason not to let your children be withoput parental supervision !!
I’ve seen too many times young children waiting at the bus stop all alone. Drives me crazy. I actually try to stay until they’re safely on their bus. You could do that years ago; however, you can’t do that today. PLEASE keep an eye on them. There’s just to many sickos out there.
the parents of these 2 girls are probabajy the least neglectful parents in this town
To #11. I’m sure they are, and you wouldn’t think you’d have to worry about eight year olds. I grew up in NY City, and couldn’t even count how many times I was approched by creeps at that age. Once was a custodian when I was in first grade at a CATHOLIC SCHOOL! I never told my parents. As a child, I always trusted adults. I guess we have to teach our children. It’s sad we have to.
I back that comment 100%
I so agree to teach our children from the time they understand to never get into a vehicle with anyone even if they look like our own religion or race. way to many sickos out there for sure and recently i read a article that stated gang members are sending children or elderly on the streets looking lost or confused and then you feel bad and put them in your car and take them to the address they have! Lakewood is not the town it was 5-10yrs ago so please everyone watch your children,
I always had an absurd password for my children. I told them if the person doesn’t give them the password, they are to run away and scream for help. I also changed it every once in a while; for example, one time it was marshmallow. Maybe the parents of young children need to start this again.
much credit to lcsw and the lakewood police department for investigating into the matter. these creeps must be stopped. another thing children can do is scream if this happens to any child again. that way they can make a scene and either the driver will get caught or flee the scene. but always teach children to never ever get into a car with a stranger. god forbid, you do not want your child to get kidnapped. we don’t know who this creep is but we need to come together as a community and be on the look out. we need to take this person down.
this story must b publicized! every parent and child must know about this! our community is not immune to these type of things. people please, teach ur children. teach them well. and don’t b embarrased by discussing it with ur children. they must know not to speak to strangers. people in this community are so beautifully sweet and innocent. but there’s a down side of this, that sometimes u would never beleive, or wanna beleive that people of our community would ever do such a thing. please protect ur children!
Parents do your job, don’t put your children in a situation where they are not supervised by an adult, 8 years old is definately to youong to be left alone!
#7 why is it the landlords fault? Why do people always assume that a criminal has to rent?
its so scary!
Any updates?
To #21. Posting shortly.
