Yesterday my 16 year old was walking to school and was at the light waiting to cross at Kingwood dr & Forest Garden and some man in a red car said to him "Hey you want a ride to school"? and my son said "No im good" and then the man asked him again "hey are you sure? jump in I will give you a ride to school its just down the street". My son said he then drove off. He said he was driving a red car and it was an older white male. My son didn't think it was a big deal but I said to him "In this day and age no grown man is going to ask a kid for a ride to school if he doesn't know him". that is gross. I called the school to let them know but they said it happened to far from the school do do anything so to call the Kingwood police. I did but he said if it happens again for him to get the plate number . 4951

@2danes: I'm so glad he didn't get in the car, he's a smart kid. I wish they would catch these pervs and lock them up for good to keep our and all kids safe from danger and harm. 4951

I do think there are still some nice people in the world, and with the rain yesterday, and maybe he was ust being nice? Unfortunately, that said, it's sad that we just can't trust people any more! Glad your son had street smarts, though! 4951

I wish we still lived in a day and time where you could offer a kid a ride....   there have been several days I have been driving to work and it is cold and wet and I see kids walking, I have been sooo tempted to ask it the want a ride...   But I didn't want to end up being reported as a possible perv....    Sad times we live in.. 4951

@GoldenGirl: I know what you mean, especially when I am heading to the school myself with my kids and it's raining or cold out.  I have so thought about asking some of these kids if they need a ride, but you just can't in this day and age unless you already know the kid and their parents.

@2danes:
In my experience with 2 cops in KW, they don't give a rats a** about much of anything. I have personal experience with this. I know there are many great policemen out there, and am involved with a support organization for Humble pd. I have the utmost respect for what they do. Unfortunately, not all of them live up to the standard I hold them to Emoticon
Kudos to your kid for saying no. Hopefully, he was just being nice and offering a ride in the rain, but you just never know. What a sad world our kids are facing adulthood in.

My Aunt picked up two strangers one day on Beltway 8 coming home from work, she said it was a woman with a man and they were walking on the feeder. She said it was raining that day and she decided to pull over and give them a ride, because she thought what if it was me. So in doing so, they told her their car had broken down and they just needed to get to a gas station, neither one had a cellular phone. She said okay get in, she took them to the gas station, She said when they got out they offered to fill her tank and she refused. The man begged her and finally she gave in, in doing so he told her he was thankful she stopped because had it been his wife he would have been reluctant for her to do such knowing how bad some people are now days. He filled her tank and the lady called a family member and informed my Aunt that someone was on the way to get them. It was a happy ending, but knowing me I would have been too scared to stop, plus I am a fast driver. Emoticon 4951

In 1960 my dad was driving home & it was raining , he saw a girl carrying books walking with her thumb out so he stopped & picked her up . He no sooner started to drive off when she pulled a knife on him & told him to stop , 2 men jumped into the back seat & put a knife to my dads throat & told him they wanted his money & the keys to his car. They put my dad out of the car & drove off . My dad walked to the nearest house & called the police . He was fortunate they didn't kill him , the police found his car in an alley & his empty billfold was on the seat . So it's not always the driver of the car that is the bad one......  4951
