The world’s a scary place when you have kids, so this story caught our attention . . .
Cops in a small Canadian town called Hanover picked up a, quote, “suspicious older male” last week for trying to hand out candy to kids. (Hanover is about 100 miles northwest of Toronto.)
He pulled over in his car last Wednesday, went up to a young boy walking home from school, and offered him a box of chocolates.
Kids today are smart about this stuff, and the boy said no. But the guy was insistent. He said if he didn’t want them, maybe his mom would.
Cops eventually tracked him down and questioned him. But they DIDN’T arrest him, and here’s why: It turned out he was just trying to participate in RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY.
The holiday was back on February 17th, but he heard about it, and it inspired him. He’d also been handing out candy to adults that day, and they released him after determining his intentions were, quote, “genuine and pure.”
