A mother discovered the heart symbol on her daughter’s plush toy was anything but lovely; the symbol is a code for pedophiles.
“This is pink; this is geared toward little girls at a predominantly male event,” mom Nicole O’Kelly says of the toy she purchased at a monster truck rally.
According to WFLA, when a pedophile sees children with the heart symbol, it means this child is ready to be traded for sex.
The manufacturer is doing what it can to recall the toys with the symbols.
“We’re shocked. We had no idea. We reacted immediately. We wanted to do the right thing as quickly as possible. Clearly we’re in the business with providing high quality family entertainment. This was really obscure. Until yesterday, I had no idea there was an underlying meaning of these symbols and the deplorable behavior. We just don’t know if a crime was committed here. We have not been contacted by LEOs. We just want to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” said Stephen Payne, with Feld Inc.
