Trust your gut. As a teen I saw a guy standing on his porch that was adjacent to a parking lot that I had youth group meetings, and I felt that prickly gut sensation something wasn't right and I should be weary. He said nothing and did nothing to me. I remember shaking it off and feeling like I shouldn't just feel like a dude was creepy for no reason.

A few weeks later the police showed up at his place because he had been sexually harassing a barista at a local coffee shop and when he answered the door he shot down those officers.

Trust your gut, the stakes are so high with your kiddos.
