I don't really speak to her (not because I don't like her, just we've recently moved in and never really got round to it), but she made an effort to come over and speak to me (she lives over the road), I don't know where she got the information, but I thanked her for telling me. She has told all the mums in the close and she is going to get a petition on the go. She doesn't know his name, what he looks like or even what flat he lives in.
She just said I should keep an eye out for anyone I didn't recognise hanging around the close. (Recognise everyone who lives here, as it's a small close). We live in a new build close so all the gardens have low fences so it's very easy to see in each others' gardens. The fences come up to about bust level. The close is actually the back of all the houses and theres a carpark/road where all the kids play out together. I don't let mine play out yet as they're too young, but I wanted to as they got older.
I don't know how to feel, a part of me is thinking gossip, take it with a pinch of salt. But the other part is thinking what if she's right? It's really put a dampner on the house as I love it. I'm also in 2 minds now whether to get the paddling pool out and let them run about semi naked in the hot weather.
God I hate these sick bastards why can't they all just fuck off and die somewhere alone so we can relax and let are kids play. Jeez I feel so fucking angry.
