Child Abductor in The Woodlands Area ....this is for real Please take note and pass on to everyone with small children.



This email came in from a friend of mine today…. My sister Stephanie was eating with my nieces and nephew at Taco Cabana near 242 on Tuesday night. The restaurant didn't have any other patrons at the time. A man in his 50's entered the restaurant and ordered. He came and sat at the table right next to Stephanie and placed his food on his own table. Then he turned his chair towards Stephanie and started talking to the kids. He acted like an old acquaintance. "So you finally got the boy you wanted, huh? Where's daddy at tonight?" The restaurant employees would have seen an "old friend" talking with my sister... nothing to cause alarm.

He proceeded to tell them about the dog he had in his van... which my youngest niece was dying to see, naturally. My sister saw all the red flags. She finished feeding the baby and then headed for the door. The man threw his uneaten food in the trash and followed. At the exit, she said she forgot her keys to go back inside and the man offered to watch the girls while she went to get them. By this point, Audrey was throwing a fit to see his dog. The van was parked across the parking lot, instead of beside the building. Stephanie took the family into the women's restroom to hide for several minutes.

When she came out the man was walking his dog on the median. Stephanie told the employees about the man and they showed her he was still waiting. She called 911 and the employees went to get the license plate number. When the man saw them writing his plate down, he threw the dog in the van and sped away.

Police followed Stephanie home and filed a report. The license plate was stolen. They do not know who the man is. They do know he is doing this a lot. Several reports have been made by parents who tell the same story. It is happening at restaurants around Hwy 242 and at a park on Hwy 242. According to police, he will likely get more aggressive as he continues. PLEASE, PLEASE tell everyone you can

So what exactly am I supposed to do here? Be on the lookout for people driving vans? Be suspicious of dog owners?
In your narrative "from a friend of mine," there is no description of the man other than he is in his 50s, no description of the van, no license plate number to watch for. It's all very vague except for the location. An interesting story, but I doubt that it actually happened.

Well it just makes sense to always be on the alert when strangers are around your children. You just never know about people these days.

Reported Suspicious Man Sparks Concern
By WOL Staff

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- An e-mail has been circulating to Woodlands residents about an alleged "attempted child abduction" in College Park. The email states that an attempted abduction occurred at the Taco Cabana restaurant located on SH 242 in College Park. However, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has investigated the incident and declared that no crime took place and that the email contains false information.

According to police, on Monday, February 11, a suspicious person was reported at Taco Cabana restaurant. The male suspect sat down next to a woman and her three children and engaged the children in conversation. He asked the children to go look at his puppy inside his van. When the woman and children left the restaurant the suspect also exited without finishing his food. After he followed her out, the woman became alarmed and returned to the restaurant with her children. A restaurant employee then wrote down the license plate number from the suspect's van.

MCSO deputies conducted a field investigation and were able to identify the suspect. MCSO deputies along with Harris County Pct.4 constables responded to the man's home in Harris County and made contact with him. The entire incident was documented, but it was ruled that no criminal conduct had occurred and no charges were brought against the suspect.

The e-mail that later followed did contain some truth as to what occurred during the incident, but it falsely stated that there had been other similar incidents on SH 242 and at a nearby park. According to police, these incidents have not been verified or reported. Montgomery County Crime Analysts were unable to locate any other incidents with similar details reported to the Conroe Police Department or the Harris County Pct. 4 Constables Office. The e-mail also alleged that the license plates on the suspect's van were stolen, which police have said is untrue.

Woodlands Online will continue to monitor the situation and report any additional information as it becomes available.

Well, I have to agree, Guerrero. Even if this story may not have anything to do with any crime, to me, people that do not take care can suffer the consequences. Better safe and have people think you are weird that punish yourself for years for not acting on your safety.
