A San Francisco woman, known for her history of alleged threatening encounters with children and their caregivers at parks across the city, pleaded not guilty during her first court appearance on Monday. The 37-year-old woman, Kim Andrews, has faced charges in four separate criminal cases over the past four years for allegedly approaching and threatening children in public spaces, including playgrounds.
The most recent incident, which led to her court appearance, took place in Golden Gate Park on July 19. Andrews reportedly approached a woman and her 18-month-old toddler along the park path, holding a lighter and an aerosol can of Lysol, while screaming threatening statements.
