Children in park exposing themselves

My daughter and her friend are both 12, they were in the park this evening and 2 girls and 3 boys came into the park, aged between 9-13 (they recognised one of the girls from school) the boys then took there trousers down to just above there knees and started going on all the equipment and laughing hysterically, my daughter and her friend moved, the boys then went over to them saying 'hi, it's a lovely day etc' (whilst standing with his trousers pulled down) I feel furious Angry Is this what young children have to put up with now? I want to report it but to who I don't know!

Odd! I read OPs DD and friend's decision that they wouldn't be run out of the park as a sign that they were made of sterner stuff than that. I read that they gave the boys little by the way of reaction and simply removed themselves, told OP and thought it through for themselves.

No victim blaming, no offering up girls as incapable and still hoping OP rang 101 and reported them, for the reasons given above.

That and I read Catsize as enquiring about the girls who had accompanied the boys... maybe (shock horror) they had been encouraging the boys. Again no victim blaming, just a thought about why the boys were behaving so poorly.

Thank you for all your replies, the 2 other girls that were with them were laughing along with the boys,my daughter recognised one from school so I am going to talk to the office tomorrow and go from there, I do think they are old enough to know better and they were doing it for a reaction, I'm furious my dd and friend were made to feel uncomfortable and had to leave the park! Sad

That's horrible. Those girls need to be spoken to too. It's sad that they thought that was acceptable behaviour. I'm glad you're taking steps to have them dealt with OP.

Thank you ourblanche, that is what I meant.
Now, either the girls who were with the boys were sadistic co-perpetrators of sexual intimidation, or they just thought the boys were funny for using the slides with their pants down. Why do we have to sexualise everything?
It is significant that the boys did not show their penises to anyone it seems, and there were no sexual comments made.

Sorry, meant to thank you OP for answering my question too. Thank you. Smile
