Re: Watching the girls: Preemptive measures taken against sex predators
The girls interviewed seemed perplexed. I don't recall any rape cases around schools but they probably don't get high reportage. It's a sketchy country/ world for vulnerable girls though, I'd be terrified letting a daughter out of my sight.Freightdog wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 3:37 pm Where?
The article has mentioned ‘some state schools’, and quoted the vice principle of a high school. With some detective work, it might be possible to track down which school in the latter case. There’s a couple of students named specifically, which is odd.
There’s no doubt that there’s a problem regarding children’s safety countrywide, but the article almost gives an impression of gangs of predators behind every bush, in every shadow, in every school, followed by some pretty slack advice- don’t come to school too early, don’t loiter after school too long.
It’s quite a scare tactic, in the absence of a far better process of educating children about all risks, from crossing roads safely, to cycling to school responsibly, to being wary of predators. The latter having the risk that it is quite likely someone who they may be familiar with. Only loosely touched upon in the article by some boys harassing some girls.
There’s a good chance that I’m wrong, but I sense an alarming article based on some valid points, but which fundamentally may have people looking in the wrong places.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

It feels rather like Cambodia is over represented in those willing to attack and prey on children.
Kids murdered as a revenge against a spouse
Kids attacked and murdered by teenagers who were so easily insulted.
Kids robbed by adults who wanted the trinket or jewelry
Girls who are attacked, raped, murdered by their peers
Each and every report hits home, given that I’m out of the country a lot.
There’s clearly a problem. There seems to be a lack of appreciation that there is, or such an inability to know how to deal with it, that it goes unchallenged except by a few.
And, Another point from the KT article- no input from parents? No quote, comment or even reference to a lack of parental input. A bit clumsy at best. Like the reporter of a traffic accident that puts more detail in identifying the vehicle number plates, than in the circumstances of the accident.

My late mother used to tell me that she walked 5 miles to school and obviously the same back. This was in the South Wales valleys, and she had no shoes at the time, walking on old sheep and miner's tracks, winter we're cold and harsh times.
I had about 2 miles to walk to school, I came home for dinner too. It got tedious at times. I would sometimes call at the corner shop about halfway, if I had any money and get a tomato dip, that's what it was a tea cake dipped in tomato and mucky fat "they were great and cheap".
Always "hope" but never "expect".
