attempted to engage them in conversation.
When the girls’ mother, who was walking a
short distance behind, tried to intervene in
the conversation, the man quickly drove away
east on Ashland Ave. He was seen a few
minutes later in the 300 block of Ashland

girls who were also walking to school. He
was again seen driving in the area at about
9 a.m. on Friday morning.
