Our DS was mugged last night with 8 of his friends on a station platform at 5.30pm. He has only just started to be out on occasion in the dark.
We asked the police officer what can he do to keep safe? He said:
stay in groups. Keep 2 phones- one cheap to give away. Walk away as soon as possible. Call police. He will be a target as he is 16.
One 18 yr old mugger threatening violence - eight boys of 16 the victims - apparently not uncommon.
How do we keep our boys safe as well as developing their experience of the world?
