meself - I think you must be reading a different post to me. It's quite clear from the first post on this thread that one nine year old girl was pulled into a van by a stranger but was so much trouble that the man put her out of the van (stopped and let her get out). Always read the first post on a thread to see what it is all about!

The cinema incident was completely separate from the original incident (subject of first post) and, if you reread it, it is clear that there was something that raised a red flag with cinema employees. From my reading he did not go into the cinema with any children so, to find him in there in that position, would give rise to suspicion. If he had been totally innocent I'm sure that he would have explained himself.

Having been in that situation in my early teens - the guy sat next to me in a virtually empty cinema so I got up and moved away and the attendant came down and threw him out - I can see what Mickey is saying.
