A MUM has been left fuming after a 33-year-old "predator" tried to chat up her 16-year-old son on holiday.
Carmel took to TikTok to share the shocking tale, as she revealed it had happened during a recent family vacation.

The woman had initially started speaking to Carmel, asking if her son has had his teeth done - to which she replied: "No, he's 16 - they're natural".
The woman then replied "Wow, they're lovely".
A few minutes later, Carmel went to the bar and left her son sitting with his grandad, at which point the "33-year-old woman turned around to my 16 year old son and said, 'Give me your Snapchat '."
Carmel added that the woman - who she said looked "older than 33" - had "slyly" waited until she'd walked off so that she could approach her son.
"You knew it were wrong," she continued.
"You knew exactly what you were doing, predator, didn't you?"
When Carmel discovered what had happened, she went up to the woman - who was on a FaceTime call at the time - and demanded to know why she had asked her son for his Snapchat.
And when confronted, the woman admitted: "I knew it were wrong, and I'm sorry".
"What were you gonna do? Have your wicked way and buy him a Big Mac?" Carmel raged.
She concluded her video by saying she hoped the woman saw her TikTok, because they're both still in the resort and Carmel's "still not over it".
I make my teenage daughters pay rent to stay in 'apartments' at home, and I'll 'evict' them if they don't cough up
"I'm still raging!" she added in the caption.
And in the comments section, people were quick to have their say - with the majority agreeing with Carmel that it was "totally inappropriate".
"Imagine this was a man to a 16 year old girl," one sighed.
"This is so wrong!"
"My 17 year old has said women my age - in their 40s - have tried chatting him up when he's out," another added.
"Absolutely gross and they are lucky I've never been there!!!!"
"Why are you even having to deal with this s**t?" a third shouted.
"Makes me sick - absolute freak!" someone else agreed.
"I'm 37 and my eldest is 18, and I'd still have gone mental!"
"Totally inappropriate," another said.
"I'm 32 and have Snapchat only to contact my 13 year old niece!
"Otherwise she'd never reply to my messages!"
"Having Snapchat in your 30's is a waving red flag," someone else insisted.

Aussie Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright reveals her son's stunning sixth-sense premonition about her new pregnancy
Australian Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright has bizarrely revealed her son Flow 'knew she was pregnant before she did' as she announced she is expecting her third child. Bright, 38, is best known for snaring gold in the women's halfpipe snowboarding at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Now a mother of two boys, the decorated snowboarder is busily preparing for baby number three. 'The boys are already so in love,' she posted via Instagram on Wednesday. 'We are keeping the gender a surprise until birth, but I'm feeling a third boy.' Next was Flow Bright's left-field premonition. Bright snared gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver when competing in the women's halfpipe competition (pictured, in action) 'Fun fact: Flow (eldest son) knew I was pregnant before I actually was,' the post continued. 'A whole month before I conceived, he was telling people I had a baby in my belly. 'Maybe he already knows who this little soul is. 'Every night, Halo (second child) falls asleep holding my belly - and every morning, he wakes up and kisses it. 'Our hearts are expanding, and so is our family. 'So grateful for this growing love.' In 2021, Bright turned heads after sharing a photo showing her breastfeeding her 10-month-old son while performing a headstand. The photo, posted to Facebook, sparked a fierce online debate - and the Olympic champion later expressed her regret at the polarising image. At the time, the breastfeeding photo attracted thousands of comments, including one that read 'now that's a balanced meal'. Another said: 'Breastfeed anywhere, anytime', while a third commentator wrote 'What an awesome mama bear. Love her.' But Bright was also criticised, with one commenting: 'I'm not saying it's not beautiful. 'Breastfeeding is between a mum and a child. This is way too much. It's not about handstands and seeing how that child could actually latch on for likes.' 'Reading some of the comments make me sad,' Bright later wrote in an Instagram story. 'In my world, mother's should be each other's cheerleaders (it is hard enough). 'Embrace our quirkiness and finding the joy in every sh***y thing that is motherhood. 'We all do it differently, it is not wrong or right. Motherhood is pure. 'I only now consider myself a wonder woman because I have joined the sacred club with you. Nothing but respect to all mothers.'

Whitney ultimately lost custody of both sons to Weston Sr., and she was arrested last year for failing to make child support payments. Weston Sr. has been arrested multiple times as well for driving on a suspended license, while both Whitney and Weston Sr. were arrested for smashing electronics in 2012.
