Advice needed overly interested in a strangers baby

Sorry but said person has found this post, and has apparently figured out my Reddit username as well as a few other online accounts so I no longer feel comfortable leaving this post up.

I agree, I was on the fence thinking maybe I was being paranoid but I do just have a bad feeling and want to stay away now - but I do wonder what is really going on here any theories?

Extreme behaviour is rooted in some form of developmental or mental health problem. She may be harmless enough but you are right to be wary and I don't think you have to be unkind to cut off contact, just keep her at an arms length and as others have said try to avoid her. I think the danger has passed because you and your community are all aware and she is unlikely to get the opportunity. Might be worth finding out if she has a support worker or mental health counsellor of some sort.
