Mother’s warning after woman approaches her son at a skate park and almost led him away with her 

The mother of a five-year-old boy has reinforced the need for parents to teach their kids about stranger danger after her son was approached by an unknown woman at a skate park and offered ice-cream.

In a Facebook post, the mother said that she was at Alexandra Headland skate park in Queensland on Wednesday afternoon when she spotted an unknown woman ‘with a striped shirt’ talking to her son.

She had been watching her son do laps of the skate park and added that he was only 200 metres away when she saw the woman approach her little boy.

‘I immediately got up and went towards them. She took off,’ the woman wrote.

‘I asked my son what she was saying. He said she was asking about the skate then asked if he wanted an ice cream.’

The woman’s son said that he didn’t talk to the lady that approached him, and instead lowered his head and waited for his mother.

This was the code between the mother and her son for when he is feeling uncomfortable.

The mother, originally from Brazil, told Daily Mail Australia that she reported the incident to police on Thursday morning.

‘I believe I did the right thing. I tried not to make a big deal of it for my son,’ she said.

‘I have been here for nearly 10 years. I always feel safe in Australia. But I did struggle today.’

The main message the mother wanted to share was that ‘it is never too early to teach kids about safety’

She added that the main message she wanted to share with people was that it is never too early to teach kids about being wary with strangers.

‘Please reinforce to your kids not to talk to strangers,’ her Facebook post concluded.

Daily Mail Australia also spoke to Queensland Police who said that it was a ‘mental health incident that is no longer being investigated’.
