Two Reports of Clowns Chasing Kids in the Past Week: What’s Going On?
Clowns chasing children? Seriously, what is happening in the world? Is there a secret forum where people are conspiring to terrify kids dressed as clowns? At first, it seemed like harmless creepiness, but now it feels personal. This week, we’ve had two alarming reports of clowns pursuing children, and as parents, we’re fed up.
Across the nation, unsettling clown sightings have been on the rise. From a wave of incidents in a South Carolina town to one where a clown was apprehended in Kentucky, it looks like these bizarre antics are sticking around. Now, we’re hearing chilling stories from New York and New Jersey, both involving children being chased.
Incidents in Syracuse, NY
In Syracuse, NY, a 10-year-old boy on his way to school encountered three individuals in clown costumes. According to CNY Central, the moment the clowns spotted him, they began approaching, prompting him to flee and call 911. He ended up hiding between two houses, thoroughly shaken. Although he gave police a detailed description, no suspects have been found yet. Other kids also reported seeing the clowns, with another boy saying he was chased as well. Police have declared the clowns’ behavior—harassment and loitering—criminal, and they won’t stand for it.
Reports from New Jersey
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, the clowns are upping the ante by wielding weapons. Reports from CBS New York indicate that clowns have been spotted chasing children in Phillipsburg. A kid named Mason Thompson described his encounter while walking home through an alley. He saw a clown wearing a white mask and dressed in bright colors, wielding what he believed was a katana. The clown even taunted, “I’m gonna getcha,” sending Mason running home terrified. His mom, Sarah Thompson, said he was visibly shaken and out of breath. “He was so scared,” she said.
Mason isn’t alone; just this past Sunday, three clowns reportedly emerged from nearby woods and chased another child at a local park.
Parents’ Concerns
Any other parents out there ready to take on some clowns? I’ve been thinking about my boxing classes and would relish the chance to throw a punch at anyone who thinks it’s amusing to frighten kids. What kind of nonsense is this? Even the friendliest clowns can be frightening, but lurking around in dark alleys or woods to ambush kids is downright sinister. These individuals are truly crossing a line and need to be held accountable.
We parents have enough on our plates without worrying about creepy clowns chasing our kids to school. Let’s hope this ridiculous trend fizzles out quickly. Until then, let’s just pray no one gets hurt.
