Police continue to investigate a separate incident in Hanover on Thursday, where an older man was seen taking photos of children playing in the backyard of a home.
This is utter bullshit. Why link these stories in any way? It gives the whole story this tone of “okay, the guy was normal this time, but we’re definitely justified in being suspicious of men talking to kids.” As someone who volunteers with kids (and has a ream of DBS forms to prove it) I really hate this fear, and the perpetuation of it.
