I was shopping in Morrison's today when somebody suddenly grabbed my arm. It was one of my teen DD's friends and she said that a man was following her. She had gone into the supermarket in the hope of losing him and his face being caught on cctv just in case. 
Why do men follow women? Are they turned on by a woman being scared? Do they hope that she'll be home alone so he can assault her?
The man had disappeared by the time she found me. Presumably he assumed that I was her mum or something but I can't help feel furious that she's been made to feel terrified for the crime of walking down the street. She asked me not to tell my dd but we told her mum what had happened. I'm livid that she's embarrassed about something that's not her fault.
