If the girls know the man they would trust him. The parent/s may not have been aware that the man cannot be trusted either.

So glad the girls were located and safely returned. Its hard when the perpetrator is known to little kids as others (initially at least) may perceive the innocent recognition as a positive. I hope the perpetrator is charged to prevent further incidences of the same.
