Four-year-old boy approached by stranger at Adelaide playground
Police are investigating after an unknown man made "suggestive" comments to a four-year-old boy at an Adelaide playground and offered him a lollipop.
The man is understood to have approached the boy when his mother lost sight of him in the very large school holiday crowd at the St Kilda adventure playground at 5pm on Monday afternoon.
For around two and a half minutes, the woman searched for her son.
When she found him, the boy gave a disturbing account of what had happened during that time.

"He says he was approached by a tall blonde man who offered him a lollipop", the boy's mother told 9NEWS.
"When my son told him to go away, the man made a very inappropriate and suggestive comment… before running off when he heard me screaming my son's name."
Police have confirmed that they are investigating the matter.
Salisbury Council says investigators will have full access to CCTV footage from around the area.
