my 12 year old DD and unwanted male attention

I've posted before about my DD getting unwanted attention form adult men. She's 12, she's developing but doesn't wear make up or skimpy clothes. She doesn't look particularly older than she is.

Today we're down by the riverside having a picnic. She's wearing jeans and a t-shirt. We were sat reading and other people are around. A bloke, in his 40's I'd say, and 2 younger kids come and sit near us. The bloke immediately starts leering at my daughter. He sees me watching him look at her, I give him the Paddington bear hard stare. The kids he is with are messing about by the water and he's sorting them out with sun cream etc. He keeps looking over at my DD then at me, he knows I'm watching him.

After about 20 mins or so they gather their stuff to leave, he still keeps glancing at my daughter then at me. DD is oblivious to this, lost in her book. As they walk off I continue watching him, and he keeps turning round to look at my DD. Then, just before they disappear round the corner he turns to me and sticks his two fingers up at me!

Part of me was amused at his cheek but another part of me was furious. He was clearly letching at her and knew I'd clocked it, then he does that! What goes on in some men's head ffs???

I think the problem is that in seeking to argue that not all men are lecherous (yes we know), some people argue that a particular man is not. Even when given evidence that he is.

Dulci no I was not referring to you, I meant other posters who were being sarcstic and trying to discredit me. I have no problem with people seeking clarification, as you did.

Also, by that point, a number of posters had noted the clear differences between leering/glancing/looking and your post was asking me, for the umpteenth time, if maybe I had misunderstood it so I was frustrated at your post, not angry.
