A man who reportedly asked a child to go on a walk with him and his dog was questioned by local police.
Local police have questioned a man who put a number of area sports leagues on alert this week after he talked to children at a sports practice. “If something doesn’t feel right it may not be right.

Looks like the police are dropping the ball here. Just because there's nothing in this guy's background doesn't mean there's no problem here. From what I've heard from reliable sources, this was something more than a guy just walking his dog. Why didn't the police just tail the guy for a bit to see if he did anything else strange before talking to him and tipping him off? more ›
