The Observer Sue, look in about a fortnight, sure they will be up to speed by then

I don't really understand why it's being kept out of the news. It's obvious something has happened and with me having a teenage daughter I'd like to know if there's some nutter on the loose.

This all seems very worrying........i think the public need to know

Forensic teams called to Accrington park (From Lancashire Telegraph)

pretty much the same in any of the local Lancashire papers you look at.

Wish someone would let us know what's happened. I usually walk my daughter up owd Bob's every morning. Fortunately, on the morning in question, I got her a taxi to school....and have done ever since!!

Im sure I saw this in a copy of the LET this week- a tiny piece about a reports of a sex attack in gatty park and that a teenage boy had been arrested. Tuesday if my memory doesnt fail me. Doe s not seem to be online though.

suedarbo · 23-03-2011, 16:31

This seems to be hushed up for some reason which always makes me suspicious

You are being too personal, unfortunately, you can be 80 have a daughter and be attacked yourself.

What is needed is some form of reassurance, that the Police are dealing with, 'whatever', but no need for folk like you to panic.

Or

that this is a non story, 'move on now, nothing for you to see', refute of some type of rumour.

I live in this area and have a young daughter so it is very worrying. 'Rumour' has it that it was a young boy and very serious. Does anybody have any info on this ??
About 5 years ago someone had been trying to get young girls into their car around here around bonfire time and the police / authorities didn't mention anything until about a week later when it came on Granada Reports - the night before they arrested the 'protected' guy in Huddersfield but we all knew (by word of mouth) to watch the kids.

What was frustrating was that the police were getting incidents reported to them yet not informing the public and two of my daughter's friends had to run from the car!

Would be grateful for some 'word of mouth' .

Thanks

Dont think any of us know Swingbrig to be honest.

The police dont seem to want to tell people any information for some reason?

I agree with you though, it is out of order that we dont know anything about this and could potentially be dangerous for local people.

swingbrig · 27-03-2011, 15:56

Thanks. Daughter has just informed me that there's now a sign up - 'no camping'. The local kids believe it was a girl that was stabbed.

A local lorry driver saw a blue vehicle parked up where the police car was at the bottom of 'Old Bobs' during that night that the alleged incident occurred.

Something has happened - but what??

The silence suggests it is serious. There's definitely no camping for the kids this time!
