WARNING: Parents be careful in shopping centers this festive season
A post on Facebook has gone viral after a mother shares her horrifying experience of her child being stalked in a shopping center by a group of men
Parents in Durban have been left shocked after there has been a number of reports of being leered at and, in some cases, approached by men wanting to photograph their children.
Lauren Sutherland's post on Facebook has gone viral after she shared her horrifying experience of her child being stalked in a shopping center by a group of men
“When we exited the store feeling very uncomfortable two of them approached us and asked if they could take photos with my daughter, of course I refused and immediately walked away,” she said.
“After seeing these guys I ended up noticing more of a pattern, these guys were scattered all over Pavilion in the passages, sitting on the benches as well as in some of the shops.
“They where all busy on their phones with earphones in their ears, I assume communicating with each other.” She said she was “totally freaked out” and alerted security personnel before leaving.
“Please be careful and vigilant,” Sutherland wrote.
We urge parents who take their children into crowded parts of the city during the holiday period to be vigilant and ensure that their children are supervised and not allowed to wander off unattended.
