A close call for a couple of kids coaxed into a potentially dangerous situation by a stranger.

College Station police say the children were near Anderson Street when they were approached by an adult male around 5 p.m. Thursday. He talked the kids into letting him take pictures of them, but one child grew suspicious and tried to leave. That's when the suspect stopped her by grabbing her shirt. After taking more pictures, the stranger left.

Police are looking for a white male with a tan complexion, around 6-feet tall and about 200 pounds. He was driving a gold-colored sedan, similar to a Ford Crown Victoria, with silver wheels.

This is my neice and I am horrified!!!! That guy should be locked up so he cannot hurt anyone. He needs Jesus. I don't understand these people that prey on little kids, they are sick!

Who are they calling over zealous? They are the ones with the red light cameras and the greater college station school crosswalk task force blazing around town on motorcycles at high speeds with ticket books to generate revenue. Talk about hypocrisy! Yes this guy is a freak, pervert and everything else, but the city of College Station can not call anyone over zealous. That was a very poor choice of words.

No one should be taking pictures of anyone without their permission. This man was out of line.

Ashley, would you want some perv taking photos of your kids? He could have easily coxed them into his car and done unspeakable things to them. Mine two kids are grown and it still scares me.
