In an unsettling incident that took place recently, a father donned a clown mask and followed his child’s school bus, causing panic among the students onboard. While 2016 had already been a tumultuous year, the emergence of creepy clowns seemed to push the boundaries of absurdity. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any stranger, this father’s bizarre stunt left many questioning his judgment.
The summer of clowns began with unsettling reports from South Carolina, where an apartment complex warned residents about clowns allegedly trying to lure children into nearby woods. Then, there were stories from New York and New Jersey of kids being chased by individuals dressed as clowns, with one terrified 10-year-old found hiding between two homes. Despite these alarming headlines, one dad in Auburn, Massachusetts, decided it would be a good idea to follow his son and his classmates home from the bus stop while wearing a clown mask. What could possibly go wrong?
The police were alerted by concerned parents, leading to a community update via Facebook. They reported, “An Auburn man, dressed as a clown, followed several middle school students from their bus and bus stop.” The children were so frightened that they sought refuge beneath a nearby deck to escape the masked man. Imagine walking home, only to be trailed by someone in a clown mask; it sounds like the start of a horror film.
The police have not disclosed the man’s identity but have announced that he faces charges for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. It might be safer for him to spend some time behind bars, considering the likely repercussions at home.
Authorities expressed hope that this incident would serve as a cautionary tale for others, urging community members to refrain from similar behavior. Following children—regardless of the costume—is never a good idea, and adding a clown mask into the mix only amplifies the fear.
