Strange man loitering outside DS and DD school

[concernedmum2026]

Hi all, yesterday when I picked 10 year old DS and 8 year old DD up from school, I saw a man wearing a school uniform, white makeup and red lipstick. He was loitering across the road from the school and another parent told me that he was outside the school two days ago. I'm based in Liverpool, have any other parents seen this individual? I reported him to the school and they said they are looking into it.

I would call the police 🚓

Definitely report to the police and then the Head of the school

Schools have an alert system between schools where reported incidents like this are shared.
Thought I’d heard something like this before so Googled and there are examples in the press from last year.

He is known, to the police and probably the schools too. He's also known on the internet.

Call the police on the dirty fucker.

This isn't even the first thread about him on Mumsnet.

Not sure looking weird is a crime. Sounds like mental illness to me.

He's dirty fucker hanging round schools like that.

Sounds like SmartScoolboy9. He’s well known to the police

Perhaps it's time they did something about him then.

I’m not sure they can. I don’t know if anything he’s done veers into illegal, although there is some suggesting he talks to minors online.

Last I read about him someone had contacted the police and they told them they were investigating.

This man (if its the one that was in the news and posted about previously) doesn't just look weird but has a school girl fetish and multiple uniforms from different schools and was repeatedly caught trying to enter the schools and attempting to strike up inappropriate conversations with school girls.
This is a dangerous predator

The way things are there's days the police will probably see it as him expressing his true self and log complaints against him as a hate crime.
