Parents warned after men spotted approaching schoolgirls in Hong Kong's Yuen Long
A community care team in Hong Kong has issued an alert to parents following reports of two men approaching schoolgirls on the street in Yuen Long and offering them free food and to accompany them home. The Pat Heung North Care Team posted a message on Facebook on Monday saying it had been notified by some schools that two men, estimated to be about 18 to 20 years old, had been seen approaching girls of primary school age near Yuen Long Children's Playground on Yuen Long Hong Lok Road. They tried to strike up conversations and offer food or gifts and even to accompany the girls home, the team said, adding it was unclear what the men's intentions were. Two incidents occurred on separate days last month, a source said. On each occasion, a girl was approached by a man about 20 years old after attending tutoring sessions, according to the insider. The identity of the man remained unknown, and no police report has been filed, the source said, adding no criminal element was involved and the parents of both girls had raised concerns with the school principals. The Yuen Long police district has also stepped up patrols and monitoring in the area.
