Outline
Circulating message warns that violent gang members are using children who pretend to be lost as a means of tricking women into going to gang houses where they will be raped.
Brief Analysis
There are no credible police or media reports that support the claims in the message. In fact, there is no evidence at all that such crimes are actually being committed. The warning is just a variation of a series of gang related urban legends that have no basis in fact.
