My friend's neighbour, a man in his 50s, sent her a message about her DD10. She'd been playing with a group of other kids on their bikes in the close where they live. He said
"You need to watch [child's name]. Puberty and fertility are coming, there's oestrogen in the air and it's drawing in the local boys, even if they don't realise it."

It's weird right?

I agree with a couple of pp who said to ask why first. Has he noticed someone watching / hanging around?

He is basically saying her milkshake is bringing all the boys to the yard, filthy perverted man should not be thinking of stuff like that let alone saying it. I would be very wary of him.

It's a very bizarre statement. Was the child playing with a group of boys, who all looked/were older? Some girls are a bit 'Tom boyish' and prefer the company of boys to girls, and riding around on bikes etc.

Report this to the police. It's beyond weird. Perhaps he has Dementia.

Id be letting him know in no uncertain terms that I'll be watching him very carefully and I'd tell him exactly what I think of him. These types rely on other people's politeness and desire to see the best in people.

I'd immediately ask if he had seen something concerning and then if he hadn't, id estabish that this is his view of my child and therefore he is indeed a creep.

This is what we call ‘pedos acting in plain sight’.

Umm - that’s absolutely grim/terrifying. Her daughter is not safe around him.

Newsenmum · 04/10/2025 15:56

I wouldnt let my daughter near him.
