Tamara van Gaalen Just had a conversation with another mum when I dropped my kids to daycare and she was telling me that her primary school kid picks up her friends preppy kid and they walk together to the front gate where she picks them both up. Last week the preppy came to her, white as a ghost and said that a man tried to grab her in the school grounds. The mother rang the school but the school said they were too busy to deal with it that day as they had to deal with 2 boys fighting. She then rang them numerous times and the school on one occasion said that it wont issue an alert as they think the girl is lying and they dont want to cause a panic and now they wont return her calls. I think this is so wrong and I would be pissed if I found out a child said they had been grabbed and the school didnt alert me regardless of if it is true or not!

Tamara van Gaalen All they needed to say was we have been informed by a parent that their prep child has said they were grabbed by a man in the school grounds. We & the police are currently investigating these claims but in the mean time there is no cause for alarm. Please use this opportunity to speak to your children of stranger danger and to make sure they are never alone and to say in groups. or something to that effect.

It was Burnside. Im not sure on all the detail of what happened but regardless of if they think the girl is lying, just issue a safety message. What would it hurt?

What kind of educator does not listen to their students in such a serious matter. I too would take my kids out if they went to burnside. Yesterday at 9:17am via mobile · Like · 2..

Said to the mum if you parents knew what actually went on on the coast, youd never let your kids out of your sight or something to that effect. Like I said, not sure on the whole story (only had a 5 min chat this morning) but the police did patrol the school I believe... Yesterday at 9:31am via mobile · Like · 1.. Amber Hockley Whaaaat?!

Deb Spruyt so if I had kids going to school ... I would now be keeping a strong eye on them plus talking to them (no actually telling them) about stranger danger and telling them to keep inside the school grounds till I picked them up. F#cken creeps out there, bullet to the head Yesterday at 9:35am · Like · 1.. Michelle Rixon it was possibly a father or male teacher that stopped her and she didnt recognise them but that shouldnt matter. The incident obviously frightened her. I still remember my friends father offering me a lift home in kindergarten and it frightened me. I didnt see him very often and I didnt recognise the car because it was new. My friend wasnt around, she was still in class. I told him straight I dont take lifts from strangers. It upset him too. He actually started spending more time with us kids Yesterday at 9:44am · Like · 1.. Matthew Payne And the cops worry about bikies??? That many pedos walk these streets its not funny. Yesterday at 9:47am via mobile · Like · 4.. Amanda Gardner I find it really worrying that no one even made the effort to quickly react. The school is breaching their duty of care towards that child for not reacting immediately. I think this is a story for Today Tonight or one of those shows. What if another kid gets nabbed tomorrow by the predator and it could have been prevented from quick reacting people. A kid that age does not make shit like this up. So I really really think report this to the Assistant Commissioner for the Northern Region of QPS His name is Clem ORegan. That is the Sunshine coast area. Get all the facts about who the copper was and exactly what was said and report it to this person. They will have to react on it Yesterday at 9:54am · Like · 7..
