Yes do report it. When my 17yr old goes out, I allow her to come as far as the Lane and ill drive and meet her at the bus stop. I don't let her walk down the residential streets alone. It's such a shame. Hope your daughters ok.she also babysits in the Dulwich area. It can be midnight before she is finished. I get out of my bed to collect her. There's no way I will allow her to walk. Better to be safe than sorry I always tell her. Once again hope your daughters ok

Just be glad you don't have a son, then, as he would be statistically far more likely to be physically attacked.

I was followed off the train at East Dulwich and I'm 26. Instead of going home I decided to go to Sainsbury's to buy wine (to calm my nerves!) so I could lose him and he wouldn't know where I live. I was on the phone to the police at the time as I was too scared to get home. They were really good and talked to me the whole time and would make sure that if I saw the guy again and he followed me then they would send some officers. Luckily I lost him but it's a scary situation and I do hope your daughter is ok! 101 police number were fantastic and if your children feel unsafe then call them. I felt I was wasting time, but it's better safe then calling 999 following an attack!
It is horrible when that happenes. I remember a few years ago when i lived in Camberwell and was mugged walking home with my friend - the police looked at CCTV and reckoned he followed us off the night bus. However on a lighter note a few months ago was was followed all the way along East Dulwich Road by a shifty looking man who kept looking at me and checking where i was going - i let him overtake me only to see he was waiting at the end of Solway Road (my road) bit spooked i carried on the 24 hour shop at the end of East Dulwich Road as i turned round the man had nipped in to Solway road and was relieving himslef against the wall - turns out he was desperate for a pee and was waiting for me to go past so he could relieve himself without me watching.
Did you check the possibility of cctv on the bus? The fact that there are cameras on the buses should be used to our advantage, especially in cases like these where you get young ladies feeling unsafe. Another thing, you mentioned that the guy is an 'asian'. Being a south Asian male myself, I've noticed that some of my fellow countrymen, especially the types with 'curtain style' hair as you described, have trouble when communicating with women. What happens in some cases is that the guy tries to either chat a lady up or strike up conversation casually, and ends up being a borderline sexual assault case. I don't mean to detract from the seriousness of the incident, but it is a valid concern I have being of that particular ethnicity myself.

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
