Following the incident of the recent abduction of the school girl. Then a second separate incident the day after.

What are parents thoughts on primary aged school children walking to school by themselves? Also high school children year 7?

The offender was caught.

That area randomly has problems over the years where women or children are targeted.

Children shouldn't be walking through any of the estates or alleys on their own. They need to walk with other children or an adult in the family if they have no choice but use those types of routes.

I feel primary school children should be walked to school and picked up. I say that because I enjoyed my walks with my mum when I was younger. Tbh I doubt my mum ever thought I would be snatched off the street if she did let me walk on my own.

The girl who was abducted, was snatched off a wide road with houses on each side, definitely not an alley or quiet street. I think is saw cars pass on the cctv. It's a totally random and awful situation but im so glad the assailant has been caught and hope the girl will receive the best care during this time.

This is what I thought when I watched the clip because it showed an alley. @Nopenotsureigiveahoot is correct the girl was leaving her house in an open street and the attacker covered the school girls mouth and pulled her away which lead onto the alley!
