To think that a man standing outside a school in girls uniform is not OK?

[crinklemum2]

Name changed as this is very local and he was seen wearing my DD's school uniform.

A local school uniform shop shared images to reassure parents they would not be selling him any items. Essex police say he poses no risk and people should stop sharing the photos. He looks to be late 50s/early 60s.

He's been seen around schools - both primary and secondary - dressed as a school girl (in their uniform). I am fucking outraged that the police don't seem to think that's an issue. God forbid we offend men or shame their fetishes.

AIBU that this must be an antisocial behaviour at the very least?

I think for it to be "stalking" it has to be against a specific individual.

For once, I hope I read this story in the Daily Mail.

Thanks for this information, I shudder to think what he would do if he was able to corner a child alone. He obviously has few inhibitions and it is very common to have multiple paraphilias so if he obviously has one paraphilia he has no inhibition about then there is every chance he has others he would have low inhibition about enacting. I do not understand why safeguarding of children isn't the priority here. Why do the police not just ban him from loitering near schools?

QED.

It sounds very much as though he’s causing alarm, harassment and distress.

So you have got to this point in your life without understanding why a man dressed in a school uniform outside a school might pose a danger? Why there might be fear? You are beyond help. Did you Google the man I told you to? No, didn’t think so. He was a 64 year old pervert who did exactly what this other thing did. He then progressed to sexually assaulting a girl walking into school. Still wonder what we fear?

Ok actually @louiselouiselouise perfectly proves the point that we are all making. Society failed her spectactularly by making her go to a school where she and the other students were routinely sexually harassed. This is precisely why we need to protect girls from sexual predators. Louise - it absolutely was not your fault. There is nothing that you could have worn or said to stop these men assaulting you. You were just a kid trying to go to freaking school. But now that we are the adults, it's up to us to make sure that other kids don't have to have the same awful experienced you had.

You do realise that people get raped wearing trousers too don't you? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Last year there was a man raped in my local area who had been walking his dog!!

If covering up prevented rapes then women in strict Muslim countries would never be attacked 🙄

Ugh, that's weird...how can they be so sure he doesn't pose a risk?!

Well you can hardly blend in in a black wig and school uniform!

I asked if you thought is OK for him to keep doing this.

Awww. You know the desire to be a different gender is very strong in some people. This is a psychological situation and doesn't automatically indicate weirdness or danger. Im speaking with the reassurance that the police have checked him out. But he should really restrain himself if only for his own protection and good.

Add the Police and Crime Commissioner to that list, too.

Outraging public decency is a crime. Stand near HM with a placard asking simply "is this an outrage on public decency? " Gather support and provide evidence that the public require the police service to serve the public.

......awwww? He is lurking outside of a school in a school uniform, at 60 years old. How many adult women do that? This isn't about gender.

They'll argue that he's been doing it for years and hasn't caused harm so let him continue.

Sadly, this is a sickly sign of the times.
What our poorly society has become, the law is on his side.
He? is exercising the rights acrued through marches, parades, etc that went unquestioned, unchallened and promoted until now the new norm has swung so far in the other direction that the now extreeme outlayers are people like this magnificent charector, who even gets protectection by law! to stand outside a school. Imagine that happening in say the 1960's or 70's...
The solution to keep your children safe to this isnt on the right side of the law.
Hell, I sound like an anorchist there!

If I lived there I'd be walking my school girl or boy to school

I wouldn't trust this man at all, he clearly has some kind of attraction to school children

Crossdressing or Autogynephilia is a paraphilia, it is generally accepted that paraphilias often cluster together so that someone with one active paraphilia is likely to also have other paraphilias (see Jimmy Saville for example). Peadophilia is a paraphilia and this many has a self evident interest in children so I don't think your fears are unfounded at all.

@JudgeRudy Why are you defending this person?

She doesn’t ask a reasonable question. The evidence has been provided. He’s a sexual predator. He’s a danger. We don’t want him near children. HTH.
