Child ‘approached' by strange woman who ‘asked for their name' on walk to school as parents issued warning
A SCHOOL has issued a warning to parents after a child was approached by a strange woman who asked questions and made the youth feel "unsure." St Joseph's RC Primary School issued the warning on June 23 after they were made aware that a child who walks to school alone was approached by a strange woman. The child is said to have "felt unsure" after the approach which saw a woman begin to ask questions about their name and what school they attended. Terrified, the child reported it to the school immediately with staff issuing a warning to parents. The warning read: "The woman did not attempt to approach the school or cause harm, but understandably, the pupil felt uncomfortable. "We're sharing this so you can have a gentle reminder chat with your children about being safe when travelling to and from school - especially if they walk alone. "Please remind them to stay aware, walk with others where possible and always report anything that doesn't feel right to a trusted adult straight away." 1
