In Dumfries, Scotland, terrified schoolgirls are to be provided with rape alarms after being stalked and photographed by asylum seekers housed at a nearby hotel.
Rather than deport the problem or shut down the facility, police have opted to arm children with panic devices while the men continue to loiter around school lunchtimes.
The Scottish Sun broke the story with its front page headline: “Terrified Scots schoolgirls given rape alarms by cops over asylum seeker stalking fears.”
As detailed in the report, parents say groups from the Mercure hotel turn up daily as school lets out for lunch, leering at the girls and making them too scared to walk the streets of their own town. Some girls have stopped going into the town centre entirely.
One concerned mother, who asked not to be named, told The Scottish Sun: “Every single day these guys turn up just as the school is about to break for lunch and hang around just to perv on the kids.”
“Some of the girls have stopped going into the town as they feel so unsafe,” the mom continued, adding “There have been suggestions that the men have made crude comments to some of the kids.”
“The police need to get a grip on this and start patrolling the town during these times, but they don’t,” she further urged, adding “We cannot get to a position where the answer to this issue is to give schoolgirls rape alarms and hope they don’t get attacked.”
