The man reportedly asked the two children if they wanted any toys and then told them to 'just get in' to his van.
"It's scary, you know?" said Christopher Stappen, whose Ring home security system captured the suspect's van."You have little kids and a lot of kids in this neighborhood."
Stappen is keeping a closer eye on strangers lurking around his neighborhood after his home security system captured a man driving slowly down Whitman Street in a white work van. "Going back and forth and then he stopped, the kids were playing over here," Stappen recalled of the incident."Nine thirty in the morning, first nice day, and the guy is out in the morning trying to get kids in his van. I don't know."Stappen praised his young neighbors for knowing what to do in a situation like this and hopes his own kids would respond the same way.
"I tell my kids all the time, even when we were at the store the other day, 'Don't talk to strangers.'"
