Wasn't there some series of news reports about scams involving children pretending to be lost, but there was some person nearby waiting to jump you?

I'm not sure if those reports were accurate but i remember hearing about the scam and there being some fear around it. I would like to imagine there's the possibility of this individual overreacting to such reports, and maybe they aren't legitimately afraid of a six year old, but i don't actually know that to be the case.

Edit:

Talking about stuff like this (link below). Again, not saying that the individual was right, but sometimes people read a report and go crazy over It
