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).

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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
