Dulwich Park Children's Playground Incident

[Angel Delite]

Please be extra vigilent around the children's playground in ED Park. Yesterday at around 12.15pm I witnessed a schoolboy masterbating close to the railings that seperates the children's playground from the surrounding bushes/trees. I didn't get too close a look but can give you the following description:

Aged approx 13/14, white, medium height, slim build, very short dark hair, wearing navy blue jumper and trousers, white shirt.

He ran off as soon as I shouted to him to clear off and I think he was on his own. I reported the incident to the community warden who said that this was the second report they'd had.

Please keep your eyes peeled.

thanks

Where is ED Park?

[Angel Delite]

East Dulwich park is here ....

[ratty]

That is what I would refer to as Dulwich Park. Filthy git!

[Angel Delite]

oh yes, that's confusing isn't it, of course it's Dulwich Park, not East Dulwich Park. In my defence I am still in shock!

Navy blue jumper and trousers with a white shirt is Charter uniform...

[siousxiesue]

Please post this in the family section too..and if you noticed anything about his uniform, wardens have a poster with all school uniforms illustrated, that may help to narrow it down...

[Angel Delite]

good idea siousxiesue will do.

if it is Charter does anyone think it's worth a quick call to the head or should I leave that sort of thing to the warden?

[FatherJack]

I would definitely give Charter a call

[Asset]

It's not conclusive it's a Charter boy and what are they going to do exactly, call an assembly and ask the boy who was wanking in the park to step forward?

May be best to leave it to the wardens to deal with as they see fit.

[Domitianus]

Personally, I would support the school being informed, whether or not they are able to identify the culprit. If I was a Headmaster (no pun intended) and one of my pupils was bordering on being a sex criminal I would want to know.

[FatherJack]

Asset, I have known headteachers to speak of "local incidents" in assembly without being too specific !!

Its a rather different issue but since this incident has been raised I just thought I'd mention that over the summer when out walking in Dulwich Park I had two boys of this age urinate quite openly as I was passing. They were with a football team and supervised by adults. I don't want to seem like a prude but, given their age- they were quite big lads- it didn't feel quite right. They made no attempt to be discreet or to turn away from me. I had a word with the men supervising who shrugged their shoulders.

[sillywoman]

It's a bit odd really, the disgusting nature of committing the act by a kids playground aside, the time of day means that if this boy was a Charter boy, (and it does sound like Charter uniform) he should definitely have been in school. It was on a Monday, and their lunch time isn't until 13.10pm. The OP should definitely notify the school, as should the park warden. It's always good to give them a heads up, and use some joined up thinking within the community - even it turns out not to be a Charter child at all. If he is - then he's truanting to add to his other misdemeanors.

If you need to go you need to go and there might not have been anywhere else to hand. We all said nothing when Paula Radcliffe gave us a flash of her bits to take a piss in the gutter during the London marathon.

[Moos]

No she didn't.

There are public toilets in the park. There is no excuse for this.

[first mate]

I agree if you need to go and nothing else is available it's sometimes unavoidable. My primary point was that there was absolutely no attempt to be discreet, for instance there were trees they could have gone behind, literally feet away. It was also clear to them that I was approaching, but I was given a full frontal view nonetheless. As I said, I'm no prude, it just seemed a bit odd given the age of the boys concerned.

Anyhow, I don't want to detract from the main point of the thread which is this boy's inappropriate sexual behaviour. I do hope for his sake that he is identified and given help sooner rather than later. His whereabouts at the time of committing the act may be coincidence but extremely worrying if not. At any rate he needs to be counselled that his behaviour could land him in big trouble later as an act of indecent exposure.

[Angel Delite]

Hi

thanks all, I have dropped an email to the head of Charter letting him know what happened and giving a description. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't a Charter boy - at least we know for sure that the head has the information. I did suggest that he pass the email on to other school heads he thought relevant.

[Colonel Blimp]

I really can't understand the hysteria, and lather, that posters on this forum frequently allow themselves to become involved in. The description of the uniform gives no indication as to which school this miscreant attends, or should have been attending at 12:15pm. Someone could easily have said the description sounds like a Dulwich College student and I'm sure all the usual suspects on this forum would have been enthusiastically leaping on the band wagon, and making all the usual stupid suggestions we've come to expect.

There is no positive identification of the school in the description; there was nothing in the description to say that this miserable urchin can be facially positively identified; there is nothing in the description to suggest that he had an identifiable willy; so what do you expect to achieve by notifying any school? What is being expected of any school that is notified of this incident?

Look, the sensible thing to do, until a more positive identification can be achieved, is to let the wardens get on with their jobs having been notified of the incident. And finally, calm down and ease up on the mass hysteria.

[first mate]

What mass hysteria? It makes sense for relevant organisations and authorities local to the area to be made aware that it is possible a young person in their care is exhibiting unusual and undesirable sexual behaviour- unless you are suggesting that masturbation at the railings of a children's play area is par for the course for many teenage boys?

The sooner he is identified the better for him; letting people know is a great way to achieve that end sooner rather than later.

[Moos]

And the prize for most het-up and unnecessarily emotional post on this thread goes to........ Colonel Blimp. Well done, sir - what a contribution.

No she didn't what?

[annaj]

Give anyone a flash of her bits. Paula Radcliffe. Or at least I think that's what Moos meant.

She squatted, as women do, which does give much flash.

[Moos]

I think we're taking this off topic, but I thought she peed down her leg while clothed.
