Just a heads up to all you foro parents out there!!!!!

Are a man and woman working together in an attempt to abduct young girls? 

That's what police are trying to discern following what appears to be a brazen effort to lure two children into a van in the Dufferin and Lawrence area.

The children were walking to Regina Mundi Catholic School on Playfair Avenue when police say a man and a woman stopped to ask them for directions. 

They then tried to get them to come closer, urging the little girls to help them read a road map.  Wisely, the kids ran off and told teachers about the incident. 

On Tuesday a safety alert letter went out to parents in the area, who responded with understandable concern. 

"It's scary growing up now because you don't want to scare them, but you also want them to make sure that they're aware that when they're in a dangerous situation, they need to run to an adult," said one worried mom. 

"It's hitting home now. It's too close to home."

The letter makes reference not only to the latest incident, but also to another suspected luring attempt, where a man and woman in a dark coloured van tried to entice kids with McDonald's coupons.  

Both suspects are white. The man is 35 to 45, bald with grey/brown hair on the sides. The woman is 30 to 40, with a slim face and collar-length straight hair.
