Mom has shocking warning about popular kids toy and how it can expose them to predators

Walkie-talkies are supposed to be the harmless version of a phone, allowing for people – even children – to speak to one another safely with no outside interference.But, after one mom’s horror experience, you wouldn’t be blamed for hesitating before purchasing them again.Parents are being warned against purchasing walkie-talkies for their children, after one mom heard an unknown man making moaning noises on the other side.The Christchurch mom told the New Zealand Herald that she purchased the toys from Kmart as Christmas presents, and was making dinner when she heard the strange sounds from the other side of the house that only got creepier and creepier.“I went down to my children’s bedroom and saw my kid’s walkie-talkie on his bed, and the noises were clearly coming from there, and the man was making sexual moaning sounds over the walkie-talkie,” she said.“Clear sexual innuendos, just saying things like ‘Do you like sausages? I’m gonna come over, you’re gonna cook my sausage and I’m gonna make you eat it.Mmmm, I’m coming for you.

I’m coming over to you now’.It went on for a good few minutes.”Horrified, the mom said she tried to switch the walkie-talkie off – but she wasn’t able to.“From the moment the kids started playing with the walkie-talkie, the on button just was permanently stuck on.

So I was just running around the house trying to find a screwdriver so I could get the batteries out, and, of course, the children were hearing it,” she said.She said that given that there’s a 300m maximum distance on the walkie-talkies, she even locked her doors in case the man was nearby.However, local police were able to calm her worries.
