Police at a Maryland university are warning students there’s a helicopter mother on the loose, prowling the campus in search for a date for her son. Seriously.

The Towson University Police Department is investigating at least three incidents where students said they were approached by a woman, asking them if they were interested in dating her son, WBFF News reported.

The mother, who may or may not be itching to be a grandmother, approached students in the campus library and arts building, and attempted to show students a photo of her son on a mobile phone, asking them if they were interested in dating him, the Baltimore Sun reported.
