To the total POS who blocked my young teen on their way home and refused to let them pass while challenging them about their gender identity.


Why the hell do you think it is your business how they identify and how dare you ask why they've "got tits".

My husband would like to talk to you so please get in touch.


More than that, you threatened to "slap" them even after they told you they are a minor.


Described as tall, big, black and wearing a hoodie. Pity, as I would like to find you but that's not really a helpful description.


We will be looking out for you though.

I think this would be better reported to the police than a social forum. It is clearly, as described, aggressive and threatening behaviour.


However, I suspect that it is extremely unlikely that the alleged transgressor is a forum regular, or even reader, so addressing him through this forum is probably otiose. And your own words 'have a chat' can themselves be interpreted, in context, as threatening.


I am clearly sorry that you child should have felt threatened and, I'm sure, frightened. But involving the authorities who can actually do something about this, if you haven't already, may be a far more productive move.

[EDIT] - cross posted with Penguin68. Share your sentiments exactly


I'm really sorry to hear about your kid's encounter last night @Jules-and-Boo. That's atrocious behaviour.

Would suggest though that the perpetrator wouldn't be particularly forthcoming on The East Dulwich Forum about their actions... in the unlikely event they even use this site.


I would suggest getting in touch with the police on 101 if you haven't yet; providing as much of a description of this person as your child remembers. Things like:

- what their voice sounded like

- The colour of their clothes

- If it was clear, the person's gender


All could be useful in helping identify. CCTV may have also been present in the area.


John

yes we're asking about cctv from neighbours.


I know they're not likely to read this and there is very little the police can do other than add to the statistics - I do think we need to know that there are threats on our roads. This was literally between the bus stop and our home and there was no one around at all - no traffic.


I suppose the message for the forum is to be extra vigilant at all times.


Having a chat with my husband isn't actually a threat, but he would like to have a conversation.

So sorry this happened to your child Jules-and-Boo.


I completely disagree with any suggestion that posting on here isn't a good idea. Who knows who reads this. Who knows who might have seen something. It might be helpful for someone if this happens again or maybe it has already happened to someone else previously.


Reporting to the police should be done but probably useless- unless this person repeats this behaviour.


Your poor child.


I'm quite sure your husband would like to talk with the individual and I hope he gets chance.

They could, but not by the police, they cannot interpret what someone says based on context.


Sorry to hear about this J&B.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
