A mum-to-be has gone to extraordinary lengths to get in contact with her unborn baby’s father, spray painting messages all over Frankston.

The message, which has been scrawled on public bathrooms, laneways and BBQ areas over the last three or four days, reads: “Chris u need 2 talk 2 me b4 baby is born or don’t bother after”.

Peter Burrows, who found the graffiti and shared photos to the Frankston Community Noticeboard Facebook page, said he couldn’t believe the attention the post had received.

“I made the post to get the person to stop and to kind of give the council and ‘snap send solve’ a plug, but didn’t realise it would go this crazy,” he said.

“Locals are mainly annoyed because this clean-up will cost ratepayers, and I am sure council has better things to do then cleaning this off all day long.”

Despite the serious side, Burrows said it is humorous and is hoping Chris will come forward and end the search.

“The funny side to it is mainly that now everyone wants to know who this mysterious Chris is and if he did call her,” he said.

“We’re appealing to find Chris and beg him to come forward.”

Mr Burrows said despite the fact it’s likely Chris has broken up with the woman, there is a chance it could just be teenagers mucking around and doing it for a laugh.

The Facebook post has accumulated almost 10,000 reactions, over 20,000 comments and nearly 9000 shares.

Mayor of Frankston, Michael O’Reilly, thanked residents for reporting the issue via the snap send solve app which enabled the council to make a quick response.

“Council acted quickly to remove the graffiti from affected areas, and would encourage those involved to consider more constructive, and less illegal ways of communicating in the future,” he said.

“Anyone witnessing illegal behaviour should report it to Victoria Police by downloading the Crime Stoppers app or by phoning 1800 333 000.

Mr O’Reilly did have a message for the couple, however.

“I hope Chris and this mystery person can work through their issues, and in the future, refrain from undertaking illegal activities that bear a cost to ratepayers,” he said.
