CEDAR HILL (CBS11) - Cedar Hill Police are working to identify a child predator after two 7-year-old boys were allegedly assaulted at an apartment complex.
The grandmother of one victim says she noticed earlier this week he was acting distant.
"It makes me feel sad. He's not the… person I know. So, makes me feel very sad. It hurts," she said.
Family members of the boy asked we not reveal their names.
Police say a man assaulted the boy at their apartment complex Monday, then came back Tuesday and assaulted him again.
That time, there was a second victim, too, who told his parents.
"We started to probe, and that's when he said he was molested. Not in those terms, but he was molested," said the boy's aunt.
The family says the man lured his victims with candy and cash.
Police say he showed them graphic, possibly pornographic, videos.
"It must have... it had to have happened so fast, because we definitely monitor our kids," said the aunt.
The victim's father now wants the man behind bars.
"I want him caught badly. I will go the rest of my life sick because I know he touched my son in an inappropriate manner," he said.
The family, meanwhile, says the little boys has been glued to their side.
"He's a bit shaken up about the whole situation. He just said.. he's a bit scared about it right now, said his aunt.
Police have only a vague description of the man they're looking for.
The victim's aunt says the family is keeping an eye out, but she worries she could see the man and not even realize it.
