We had a guest over today that we just found out should not be around kids. My kids became friendly with him and we are afraid now that next time they see him it will get too friendly. We want to speak to our kids now about it but how, what do we say?
Not sure if we should ask a professional about what to say, and if so who?

There's such a person that lives in my area and likes to hang out at the park. I told my children that he's a dangerous man that may hurt children and they shouldn't go near him, shouldn't talk to him, and if he approaches them, they should run away and find me.

Depends on your comfort level.
Main thing is don't sugar coat.

Say this person is dangerous. Stay away. If they ask more explain.

I think you need to be more explicit when using words like dangerous for a man who is nice and friendly until he is too friendly. And you need to be clear when you say dangerous what you actually mean

My dc at age 8 was groped by a stranger 😭. We used that as a springboard for conversations about safety, unsafe people. Yes, I'm very explicit.

Do they know about stranger danger and safe touch?
I would ask a pro. I would think it would be ok to say that you found out that he's a dangerous person who hurts people so they shouldn't talk to him again. Something these bad people are really good at is fooling people that they're actually nice and that other people are wrong.
