As children, our parents always worried about us and our safety. Now, as parents, we often worry about our children and their safety. We can only be in so many places at once, it becomes harder with each worry!
In recent weeks, there have been many reports of male adults approaching children in the streets. Some of these men were apprehended by the NSW Police.
Before the school holidays began, some of the parents who's children attend the local primary school, notified each other of the latest attack. Although none of the children were physically harmed, it can affect them emotionally and mentally.
It first began with an attempted abduction of a young male child, the police are still searching for a suspect. The next attempt was a week later - on a young female child, a suspect was apprehended. Not far from the primary school (in the local park), a male was chased by other make adults - after exposing himself to a young male child. Heading closer to the school (under a nearby bridge - meters from the school), a male adult was apprehended by police - after exposing and touching himself in front of a small group of young children. One of the older children raised the alarm to a parent who was walking nearby. The final attempts was when an unknown male adult followed a 10 year old female, from the local shops to nearby her home. A similar incident happened to a male child, of around the same age - the search for a suspect continues....
With the school holidays coming to an end and a new generation of school children arrive, safety is the key. There are so many sick people in the world, society begins to wonder "what next?" and "is it safe?" for our children.
