She said she was very worried because of the neighborhood they live in. She also told people how to approach the child.
"I don't let my kids outside because we live in a neighborhood of sex offenders," Green's grandmother said. "If anyone sees him, they can say, 'Jeremiah, your granny sent for me,' or, 'your papa told me to come and get you.'"
