Niece (13) has just revealed that, a bloke tried to drag her into his car 6 months ago.

[waterfalls]

She was walking to a friends, when a black car stopped, opened the door, grabbed her wrist and tried to drag her in the car, he was saying, your mum sent me to come and get you, she was screaming, my mum does'nt know you.
She is only small, its a miricle she managed to get free, my sister is very concerned that she felt she could'nt tell her at the time

It happened in broad daylight too.

Heavens, the poor, poor girl. How old is she? Is your sister going to go to the police? (I think it's probably important she does, if only for the sake of some other girl.)

But also tell her not to beat herself up about her dd not telling her - I was flashed at the age of about 12, didn't tell parents. Couldn't tell you why not to this day, some odd mixture of embarrassment and thinking it didn't matter because I'd got off the train and was fine.

Shes 13, I think my sister is planning on reporting it, does'nt bear thinking about what could of happened

That is awful!
Last yr at my dd's school (she is in infants) but the juniors are allowed to be dropped off/picked up at the gates or go to/from school on their own and some hang about at the shops across the road.
A man tried to scare kids to get in his car by saying they had dropped rubbish and he was an undercover policeman who had to take them to the police station. It wasn't till he was trying to pull one girl in and she was shouting for help that somebody realised. 2 other kids came forward with the same story .. so it had been happening for 3 days!
Nobody got his number plate either!
