No matter what these gaslighting bastards who walk about making videos saying its lovely here tell you, the schemes are filled with unsavoury characters waiting for an opportunity to pounce.
How long before this happens to someone you know?
ENOUGH.
Parents in Glasgow’s east end are uneasy.
You can feel the east end is at boiling point, and the last twenty four hours have added to it.
A local mother says that about 7pm her son was approached at the path from the back of Quarrybrae School to Quarryknowe Street and White Rose Hall, and asked to go with a tall foreign man in a skip hat, dark sunglasses and a bright orange/yellow bomber jacket.
He ran home.
Police attended. A second boy then described the same man among the trees.
She says the man was arrested and released about two hours later, and she was told to stay vigilant.
The same night, we are told a young boy was asked to enter a property with a drunken man.
We are also told that property was later found with scales, rolling skins, a knife and tape, and that police removed three men from it.
That account is not yet publicly confirmed.
Residents also say that about four months ago again a foreign man was arrested at the same spot beside the youth centre for exposing himself.
White Rose Hall runs kids’ and youth clubs. If your children use that path, walk them.
Ask the school, the hall and the division what was found, why anyone was released, and what extra checks are in place.
An approach on a school path, a child asked into a property, then “be vigilant”, needs a proper explanation.
Children’s safety is not optional.
