Chief Randy Fandal praised the actions of the juveniles in this case for their quick thinking and for speaking up when they felt something wasn't right.

This story serves as a reminder to all parents to have open and honest conversations with their children about the dangers of interacting with strangers. These teenagers' quick thinking led police to the man, and they may have saved others from being approached.

Children need to know that there are potential dangers out there and that they must be prepared to address various situations when approached by someone they don't know.

Here's the man who approached the teens in the parking lot in Slidell.
