DD assaulted in Manchester

[Livinganewadventure]

My DD17 went into Manchester with her boyfriend after school. She was being a bit daft practising her sidekicks (Morecambe and Wise style). She accidentally landed about a metre behind a girl and made her jump. DD apologised.

The girl and her female (14-15 years old) friends started ranting at DD. Then, DD was thumped in the face and knocked to the floor. The boys in the group started trying to hit DD’s boyfriend so he couldn’t go and help.

A couple of homeless men asked DD if she knew the girls and when she said, no, they helped her to get away. DD asked the homeless men to go and get her BF. Which they did.

All this happened in a main, busy shopping area, two weeks ago. She’s only just told me as she thought I would probably stop her from going into the city. I don’t know what to do or say. She seems okay and doesn’t want to report it.

I don’t really know why I’m writing on here, other than I’m struggling to get my head around things.

She was in a crowded city centre. They are full of all sorts of people. Crazy people, violent people and homeless people, just as your daughter has learnt.

Don't jump around doing stunts.

You sound fun. And definitely not a proper Manc with that small town chip on yer shoulder.

It’s not bright in a busy city centre.

Hope she’s ok now.

Well you're clearly a complete fucking nutter.

Tell your daughter she's not allowed to hop, skip or jump in cities OP by orders or MN. Or have her live in the countryside where people are normal and don't attack others for the slightest and most minor of things.

Never seen so much victim blaming in one thread. I wonder how many of those people live in cities themselves because where I live no one would bat an eye lid at a teen hop, skipping and jumping down the road.

Great lot of victim blaming on here, lots of excuses for violence.

@Livinganewadventure I would encourage your dd to report the assault.

So you are a violent thug? Lovely.

Why doesn’t she want to report it? The more of these things that go on? Reported the more the home secretary is able to tell us that we don’t need any additional police officers because the cities are safe when they’re quite clearly not.
