A SHAKEN mum has sent out an unsettling warning to other parents after a stranger contacted her young kids via their toy walkie talkies.

Sharon, who asked not to reveal her surname, said a "grown man" started asking her daughters where they lived.

The pink Binatone Walkie Talkies were bought for her girls, aged 7 and 8, as Christmas gifts, Belfast Live reported.

Sharon said: "While we were figuring out how to work them with the kids, we came across friends from the across the estate.

"We thought this was funny so we decided to change the channels to allow both sets of kids to communicate.

"But tonight a grown man was trying to talk to my girls, asking them their names and where they lived.

"They told him he was too old and they weren't allowed to talk to strangers and changed the channel.

"But he proceeded to continue to follow them through the channels, calling himself Stephen, and wouldn't listen, just kept asking for more information."

Sharon bought the kids toy on Amazon and now plans to return them.

One of her daughters alerted her to the stranger via text.

Sharon continued: "I thought they were safe for kids to use just among themselves but clearly not, they'll be going back.

"I just want to warn other parents, we were very lucky our girls told us, one of them sent me a text to tell me what had happened.

"I'm still shaking with fear at what could have happened."

The incident was reported to police for information purposes only.

Sharon's warning has come after a dad issued a warning about a music app that paedos are using to prey on youngsters.

Earlier in December parents were warned about poor air quality in London.
