last night my 8 yr old cried to stay at his friends house, i didn't want him to but gave in in the end, anyway they went to the park, and beside it is a skate board arena, where a man and woman sat, now this park is right behind the infant junior school on our estate, where you can happily watch the kids play at play time, there is also a gate which leads into the school yard which is closed during school hours, anyway my son and his friend were playing on the ramps on their bikes when the woman approached and started talking to them, she asked if she could have a go on the bike, my sons friend let her ride on the bike, they said she was quite old but seemed nice and her name was jean, she then offered them some lucozade sweets which both of them took, then another man came with a girl in a car and parked near the park,they thought the girl was disabled as she talked funny, the woman continued to chat with them and then the 2 boys went home, they didn't tell anyone until this morning as they didn't think anything was wrong.
please is it me or is this wierd, i am writing this very calmly was not very calm before when i was told what had happened, i went straight to the police station, you read how they school their victims and why would a couple want to sit on a park with no kids, my biggest shock was yet to come, the police said well we can't do anything as they haven't done anything untoward!!!! being the older generation they may not feel they have done anything wrong in offering 2 kids sweets, i am sorry, but in this day and age its awful to say but you cannot trust anyone, on a park, near a school, open area, playing on kids bikes offering sweets, thats very untoward to me, because they hadn't touched them they wouldn't do anything and they couldn't interview the 2 boys without social services and would have to use video testaments,
i have taught my son stranger danger etc and he knows better than this, believe me he has had a right roasting, i explained to him i could have been identifying his body this morning or searching the estate, is it me or have i gone mad, did they have to take them before they would do anything, it may have all been innocent, but for 6.30 on a saturday evening i really do not think so, thought i would share my awful experience today, for other parents out there.
