Oh my goodness, everyone! I had the most terrifying experience at the park on Thursday with my little one. We were in the children's area of Peckham Rye Park, and my 2-year-old daughter was happily playing on the climbing frame. I went to grab a drink from her pram, and the next thing I know, this woman in the photo is leading my daughter towards the gate! I panicked, pushed the woman away, and snatched my toddler back. I yelled at her, asking what on earth she thought she was doing. She claimed she thought my daughter was lost and was trying to help her, but then she accused me of being racist before sulking off. Thankfully, another mum managed to get a picture of her. The woman i has dark skin and short, curly black hair. She is wearing glasses and is dressed in a light blue hoodie, light blue ripped jeans with a distinctive "NOOT NOOT" T-shirt featuring a cartoon penguin. She is also carrying a small black bag and black trainers. 

We've reported it to the police, and it turns out there have been other incidents in the area. My daughter later told me that the woman had promised to get her ice cream from the ice cream van. Please, please be extra careful with your little ones. It's so scary to think something like this can happen so quickly. Stay safe, everyone!

There are some evil people about roaming our streets and parks!  take care.

I know nothing of this at all, but I am aware that attempted or actual child abduction can sometimes be the result of psychological trauma (for instance losing a child) causing a woman to act in ways which do not actually sit in the 'evil' box. But whose consequences, of course, can be just as awful as if the motivation was evil. Taking care however is still excellent advice.

If like you say the women thought she was lost it seems uncanny that as soon as the mum moved away to get a drink for her child .the other women made an attempt to take the child out of the play are.so she must have been watching them. Also as there were other parents present with their children. The women did  ot approach them to ask if the child was theirs.also the child said she said ile get you an ice cream .no if you think a young child is lost you look for help or ring the police.

Can we please have the photo added back? We need to know who to look out for. Not sure about the legalities, and I don't think they matter on balance. 

Admin has explained above why the photo cannot be posted on here.

Well, that would be a good way to have this site closed down - is that your intention?

To publish a photograph of someone who is claimed ('attempted abduction' ) to be a criminal is a libel (as would publishing their name); should that person at any stage come to court the publication would be seen as jeopardising the case (once a charge is made such things become sub-judice) and could be deemed in contempt of court. Only when the police officially publish a photograph or photo-fit as part of their attempts to catch an alleged criminal can such things be allowed. Unless you are a High Court judge, and then only in the context of a case being held, can you determine the public good 'on balance'. I suspect, as you are 'not sure about the legalities' you may not be a High Court Judge.

I agree there should be a description of the person (woman in this case).

"I don't care about whether this site is shut down or not, I know nothing about libel laws, and I want to avoid my child being abducted. "

If the site is shut down then you would be cutting off a useful supply of community information. But as you proudly state, you don't care

 

Children know what Stranger Danger is but they don't have any context and don't know what it means. Nearly All children can be persuaded by puppies, ice creams etc.

Even if you are watchful, predators wait for the one second you have turned your gaze away.

Abduction is nothing new, it happened when you were a child, your parents were children and so on.

Most harm to children comes from family members.

The vast majority of people will not do harm to children (yes we have had a dreadful incident in Southport, and sadly every few years there will be an atrocity).

We have to take a broad view on risk, or else we would never leave our front door.

I doubt if the Rye or other local parks are a particular danger.

It always makes sense to be vigilant.

The police should help and advise.  They are often aware of local problem people.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
