This is the original information shared with Wawa-news:

🚨DO NOT LEAVE KIDS ALONE AT THE PARK🚨
I just want to let all parents know that at around noon today my fiancé was at Queens park with our 15 month old daughter. He noticed a red ford truck driving around the block multiple times and looking at the playground, slowing down as he approached. But he never stopped or go out. We had a babysitter show up at 12:30 to watch our daughter while we ran to run an errand quick (we were gone 20 minutes).
When our babysitter was pushing our daughter on the swing the same truck drove by a few times, the man then got out of the truck, went and sat on the swing beside them. When he got up, he grabbed my babysitter by the wrist.
She pushed him, and saw a car driving by at the top of the hill and said my mom is coming and probably the cops. Then she quickly grabbed my daughter put her in the stroller, walked away and called her mom.
Please don’t leave your little ones unattended at the park, this situation has scared me so much and I would hate for something to happen to someone’s little one.
P.S. this incident was already reported to the police
Description of male:
– Brown hair
– Brown eyes
– White muscle shirt, plaid white, red and black shirt
– keys around his neck

    Get your shit straight before shooting public warnings, accusations like this change change someones life!

    Editor’s Note – The information that Wawa-news posted came from OPP and was confirmed with an officer. After that phone call was made, OPP was able to access camera footage and then correct what the 15-year old victim had seen.

    At 1:30 p.m. after having to call them today, the OPP stated that the red truck is no longer of interest, and that there is no further information available at this time.

      In response to Ray……really. It looks like you need to get your facts straight. I did not see any names mentioned. If we want to talk about getting the facts straight then lets go to the famous Wawa Rumour mill!. It has ruined many lives.

      Good job Brenda!

    Some people are very quick to criticize the press in small communities. Had this occurred in a city park and been reported to main newspapers and channels, the press would have run with it just as this site did.

    Now, had this been truly a dangerous offender and the matter had not been published, the criticism would have been even more venomous.

    We should be thankful that Wawa has a digital press that can issue important notices verified by the police is a timely manner.
