Its really terrifying that we don't know who is living next door to us, or down the street etc. My daughter is under pressure from a mum across the road from her to let my little grandson who isn't 5 yet play out with the other children. She refuses to do so, unless she is there to watch over him, this mum thinks my daughter is paranoid. Not only do you not know who some of your neighbours really are, but there is a major river 100 yards from their home. No you can't be too...

That is scary Karen, thank goodness you were sensible and mature enough to deal with it. I just hope the little girl who is still missing, Shannon, hasn't fallen into the clutches of a paedophile

Sadly this is true but not a new problem. It happened to me as a young teenager. A man who sang in the male voice choir with my dad started to get a bit too friendly, wrote letters and even phoned to tell me he 'loved' me, he was in his late forties with 3 grown children. My parents never thought much of it and luckily I was sensible enough to put him in his place, more publicity these days makes us more aware.
I know I would not brush it off and take very seriously anything my...

Quite a few years back we had trouble with a new neighbour who began to take an unsavoury interest in our youngest lad, it startedoff quite innocently, he seemed as if he wanted to be friendly as he was new to the area, one day he asked my lad what colours he liked,things progressed until he always bought " blue " into the conversation, luckily Iain told me what they'd been talking about & alarm bells started ringing. The police became involved & suddenly the man...

That is dreadful, almost beyond belief. Thank goodness it is now being dealt with by the police.

This world in now so sad that a young girl can't walk down her street without this sort of danger. It
makes my blood boil, that these EVIL people can be living next door to us and we don't know.
Thank goodness the Dad did calm down or else he would probably be locked up now!
Sending hugs to that brave little girl. Jen

So difficult these days, I don't want my children to be terrified of strangers but I have to make them aware of the dangers !!!!! I'm amazed that the guy had the were we all to actually send a written card ??? I was going to say it doesn't make sense but those sorts of people don't make sense. I hope this "man" is dealt with appropriately by the law Gail

My friends came for a craft morning and one was saying that her young granddaughter had been saying that the man next door had been pestering her for sometime .Parents who both work took little notice of this.
Well last week apparently he followed her last week and the young girl ran home and bolted the door ,he followed but gave up.
This last Sunday a card fron this man was pushed though the front door for the lass.She showed it to her parents as the contents were not...
