The kids’ toy maker Monster Jam pulled one of its toys after a Syracuse, New York, mother said that its heart icon is really a secret “pedophile” symbol.

Nicole O‘Kelly said she bought the toy, but claimed that the heart is a secretive coding used by pedophiles. “I’m absolutely sick. I bought this for my 2-year-old little girl. This toy was made for little girls. I wanted answers,” O’Kelly said.

Snopes said the double-heart symbol on the plush toy may look similar to the one that is "used" by pedophiles, but it doesn't mark children for abuse.
