This is just another reminder to talk to your kids about strangers. These creepers appear to be everywhere anymore. Really it goes for everyone, be aware of your surroundings at all times. I may or may not have told you before, when I was a kid I was approached in my neighborhood by a man in a car, asking for directions. I can't say if he was really lost or not - I did not wait around to find out, I ran like hell. I still think about that day, and I am so glad my parents talked to me about stranger danger.

As for Anthony Mangiaracina, he is now a suspect in a similar crime in Genesee County. If you have any information that could help in this case, please contact authorities.
