you still find schools daunting places Al
I find high densities or children worrysome.
i can sympathize with you there. im not fond of crowds myself.........
this is worrying... a man trying to abduct a child....

anyone trying to get a child,,,not just a man.... it happens every so often..still not nice. and all reports should be taken seriously until proved otherwise
when i was at school (matravers admittedly) i was on my way babysiting in queens road where i grew up and was going to a house int he same street ) a man stopped his red car and spoke to me..he knew where i was going, who i was going to babysit for... said they had asked him to pick me up... i could so easily have got into that car being a gulable 14 year old but i didnt.... i never said anything until i got home late that time... by then it was to late to go out looking for him as he could have been long gone. but the c hap i was babysitting for went out looking in his car but it was to late ....the police were called but couldnt do nothing and we never heard from them again....... i saw the car a few weeks later and recognised the man..... he was local and lived just round the corner further down the road...i get the feeling he was warned off if you know what i mean.. i often wonder if he tried doing that again...and what the outcome would have been if i had got in that car. he was so plausable BUT he was creepy, there was just something about him , i just kept my distance and he never came near me again......
