A mother-of-two has sounded the alarm about a seemingly innocent childrens’ toy after she heard a man moaning and making sexual innuendo on her kids’ Kmart walkie-talkies. 

The mum, from Christchurch in New Zealand, bought the popular toy as a Christmas present for her sons. 

While making dinner one night she heard strange noises coming from the radios in her sons’ bedroom on the other side of the house.  

When she entered the room she heard a man moaning and making creepy comments that became worse the longer she listened. 

‘Things like “Do you like sausages? I’m gonna come over, you’re gonna cook my sausage and I’m gonna make you eat it. Mmmm, I’m coming for you. I’m coming over to you now”. It went on for a good few minutes,’ she told the NZ Herald. 

The distressed mum tried to turn the walkie-talkies off, however the toy’s power button was permanently stuck to the ‘on’ function. 

‘I was just running around the house trying to find a screwdriver so I could get the batteries out, and of course the children were hearing it,’ she said. 

The concerned mum rushed to lock her doors, as the walkie-talkies packaging says they can only pick up voices within a range of 300 metres.

She reported the incident to police, who reassured her that a strong radio frequency could communicate with the toy from much further away.

Police added her children would not be able to reply to the stranger if he was transmitting from far away and suggested she change the frequency. 

However, the mum noted the walkie-talkies are set to one radio channel and cannot be changed. 

She alerted Kmart to the incident and was directed to a second level of complaints services where she spoke to a man who was ‘shocked and appalled’. 

An official complaint against the toy was filed. 

She shared her experience online and cautioned parents to be aware that a stranger can speak directly to their children through the radio toy. 

‘As a toy that is marketed at children, it should have some sort of warning on it.  Especially when it very much does incur a possibility of something like that happening,’ she wrote. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Kmart’s parent company Wesfarmers for comment.
