In a bit of shock I think. Was out walking with DS (5months) and the dog and walked past this man. The dog was lagging behind so I turned around and he just had his knob out playing with it!!! I was so shocked! I just turned around and walked really quickly and turned so I was on a main road! He then carried on walking the other way.

Now I'm back home I'm sat regretting why I didn't say anything! Shout at him, take a picture, anything! I was just so shocked I just pretended like I didn't see anything! Like I was the one out of order for looking!!

Bloody Hell! How awful. Make sure to report it to the police x x

That is disgusting, I hope you're okay. Report it to the police, maybe they've dealt with the man before or have an idea who it is.

Horrible man. Make sure it's reported. Who the hell do they think they are - and getting off on your response too. Bastards.

I can't remember what he looks like, he was just a man, maybe in his 40's, darkish hair and I think glasses but I honestly can't remember they could have been sunglasses now come to think of it - I didn't really look at him, just at what he was doing... I wouldn't be able to give a proper description. Do you think I should still report?

Of course report or he could do this to a school child or worse! People with form for things like this are more likely to commit more serious crimes and maybe hiding god knows

Dumbledoresgirl · 19/09/2018 11:54

Yes, I think you should. You just gave us a decent enough description. And even with no description, I think the police need to know. You know where he was hanging out for starters. If it was in an area where children are likely to be, I think it is even more worth telling the police.

JuliaJaynes9 · 19/09/2018 11:54

Absolutely definitely report it
give them as much information as you can, this man is a sex offender in all likelihood he will have committed other offences
if everyone reports him then there is a chance that the police will be able to build up a picture and catch him.

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 19/09/2018 11:54

Def report it, kids could pass him anytime!! Police may have cctv nearby .

BrokenFlipflop · 19/09/2018 11:55

You have to report it. He's probably done it before and the police may already have his details. Even if you can't give a full description it'll still be useful info I'm sure.

Florries · 19/09/2018 11:56

Of course, you're right. I will ring them now and update.

It's a pretty risky thing for the flasher to do
I mean there's a good chance that the person you flash at will pull out their phone take a picture of you and send it out straight to the local police

SendYouUpInFlames · 19/09/2018 11:57

Yes report. This is pick up time for half day nursery kids.

Report now. What a scumbag.

Sorry this happened to you OP

You never know how you'll react when something like that happens. I was walking my dog alone, came past some bushes and there he was , stroking himself ! I said ' Oh for Gods sake!' Then walked on a bit and got angry, so I turned around and said ' you sad bastard!' And disappeared in a hurry!
Reported it to the police as it was near a school, and I went to the station and looked at some identikits, but nothing happened after that 😐
