I can't find it - what's happened? I was getting really stressed about the OP being stranded in her house with her DD Sad

Oops sorry, just found it way down my list and it's been removed for some reason. I hope she's ok... Sorry for TAAT...

Deleted by MNHQ - looking at the background.

It's been pulled while they investigate it. That's the message I saw before that vanished too.

13Crows · 26/09/2018 12:34

I hope she's ok.

Was it all fiction then ?

serbska · 26/09/2018 12:36

Oh FFS

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 26/09/2018 12:37

Do they ever come back when they're 'pulled for investigation'?

Well in a way I hope it was all fiction - it was depressing to be reading how little the Police seemed to give a shit about a pervert flashing a woman and child Sad

On the other hand, why? And if it was made up, I'm now feeling a bit sullied by the thought of the kind of person who would have been enjoying writing that shit..

wasn't there a namechange fail on it? Hmm

adaline · 26/09/2018 12:41

Pretty sure it was bullshit, wasn't it?

PortiaCastis · 26/09/2018 12:41

Did seem like a lot of old crap

Would like to think police would actually deal with something like that as a matter of urgency if it were real.

Why so many creepy fake threads on here just lately?

I have to admit I thought it was genuine though.

Nicknacky · 26/09/2018 12:44

I’m getting really fed up of how many threads are turning out to be rubbish these days. Are people really so bored and sad they have to make stuff up?

PortiaCastis · 26/09/2018 12:45

Maybe the police on that thread were also fictitious and in RL would be round to see a flasher pronto

UseditUpandWoreitOut · 26/09/2018 12:46

the OP answered a question but used her sock puppet name, then apologised to herself. Grin

PortiaCastis · 26/09/2018 12:47

Grin oh dear

HopefullyAnonymous · 26/09/2018 12:48

It’s only an offence if it can be proved that his intention was to cause alarm or distress to others. Being naked is not illegal Hmm

Aha I missed that bit Usedit.

I always chuckle when I see reference to 'sock puppets' on here though - such a fantastic description Grin

Had the OP posted before then?

OP posts:
Fiffyshadesofgreymatter · 26/09/2018 13:14

I might be wrong, but I think the person who posted as if they were the OP under a different username is the same username who has a thread going about being forced to go to her BIL's dinner. So is that fake too? They might have just been similar or I could be absolutely wrong!
