On January 1st, 2026, officers responded to DFW Airport after reports that a boy had been approached by an unknown man inside a restroom and allegedly kissed the child on the cheek and told him, "I love you." >> The young kid, right? >> Yes. >> She just wants to talk to him away from her son cuz her son is distressed. Hi. >> Hello, ma'am. >> Thank you for coming. We were waiting quite a while. >> Yes, ma'am. >> You caught us right at shift change. >> Okay, so my son's 9 years old. He went to men's bathroom by himself. In the bathroom, a grown man came up to him, kissed him. He absolutely did not He said he did not talk to the man. He didn't ask the man to do this. He said the man was behaving very strangely. Um fortunately, he told us when he came up. I couldn't go with him to the bathroom because I'm a woman and my husband was buying food. Um anyway, so I just feel like even if I was standing outside the door as a mother, you know, stuff can happen inside the bathroom. >> What did the man look like? >> Strangely. He was crying a lot. I tried to get as much of a description as I could. Like everything he told me was very upsetting. Very distressed. Yeah. Because he can see that I'm having a big reaction. And he's confused. All he said is the man is basically Caucasian but has slightly darker skin, like our color skin, but he's not Asian. He had a beard. He couldn't tell how tall the man is. He said, "Was he taller than Daddy? Was he shorter than Daddy?" He said he doesn't know. I said, "Was he older or younger?" He didn't know and he was wearing gray. That's all I have on Um I don't know how to talk to my son. He doesn't want to talk about anything right now. Sorry. Um and we're not We don't even live in America, so I just feel like it's a really I'm American, but um we live abroad, and it's just really sad because, you know, my son hasn't been to America in years, and he came to visit Grandma for Christmas. Anyway, I think it's probably too late to find the man, and I think my son's really uncomfortable giving a more detailed description. I don't think he wants to think about it or talk about it right now. I can try in a few days, but um I don't even know. I mean, it's just strange. I don't think he had any interaction with this man up until that point. Fortunately, he didn't kiss him in a intimate place. It was on his face. But, he just was so surprised. He's mostly shocked. He's like, he was trying to ask me like, "Why did he do?" And then he said, in addition to kissing him, I don't know. He didn't give any specifics. He said the man was behaving strangely. >> Okay. And so, about how long was he in the restroom for? >> It's very short. 5 minutes. He was pooing. Yeah, so the man came out. Yeah. >> Okay. And so, he told you right away when he >> As soon as he came out. He told his dad. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Told his dad. >> His dad's holding him right now. He's comforting him. Yeah. >> Okay. So, I'm probably going to need to speak to Dad as well. >> So, you're just chatting with my wife about what happened with my son today? >> Yes, yes. Your wife >> Yes. >> Okay, well. So, she told us that when your son came out of the restroom, he So, he spoke to you directly, right? And he said like, for what exactly tell you? >> He said that he was in the bathroom, and then he went he went to go into the stall. Someone asked, "Are you in Are you in here to pee or poo or something like that?" He went in, and when he came out, the person came over and kissed him on the cheek and said, "I love you." And then he ran out. >> And he does not know who this person is, right? >> No, I mean, we we're just passing through the airport. We're just here for a layover. >> Got it. Got it. So, you don't come with anybody or anything. >> All right. Um so, what we'd like to do is we have someone like we have someone we'd like to speak to your son. >> Yeah. >> And try to see if we can get some more information from him. >> Yeah. >> And that's if he says that's okay. >> Unfort- unfortunately, he's quite upset. Like, um like he's crying after this and stuff, and he doesn't really want to talk about it right now. >> Yeah. >> So, I would prefer not to. >> Okay. >> Um and so, thing with my my goal was just this shouldn't happen. And if we don't say something, like no one will like I don't know if you'll be able to find the person with the cameras, but at least if you're aware that this is happening and it'll, you know, you can keep an eye out or you could look look around or something. We just wanted to at the very least report it. >> Yeah. >> But, I think we're a bit uncomfortable at the moment given the state. We have a suspect. >> Okay. >> A photograph of somebody that could potentially be a suspect. >> I see. >> But, we really need a good description. >> Okay. >> You know, if if if we can get a good description, then we can we can say yes, and then that that gives us So, that gives us something to go off of. If we can use the cameras and find this guy that's still in here. >> Okay. >> Um Can you give me a minute just to chat to him and see how he's going and then come back to you? I just I need >> Sure. >> First first be mindful of him. >> Sure. >> But, I'll I'll come back in a minute. Is that okay? >> Sure. >> Okay. >> This is an- he's really uncomfortable speaking to you guys, so he may not say anything. But, I thought I'd at least bring him over to you see him. Um he said it was the plane gray on top, not like a dark gray. Okay? All right. >> You don't you don't have to, okay? You don't want to. If you want to say something, you can. >> What's going on?
