How terrible for you and your son, Sin. Thank God he is relatively 'unharmed', although the mental scars will take time to heal for you both. Unfortunately we live in a society where we cannot become complacent and think 'it won't happen to me'- it can and it does - I know to my cost, but that's another story.

Take heart in the actions of the parents of the boy who was involved - so many would deny their child could behave in such a way - I would be so ashamed of my children if they were ever to do such a thing.

You were right to share your pain with us - where else would you find such a miriad of extended experiences, support and love from people who care? I sincerely hope we've all helped you.

My love to you both

Thanks folks - it's been a stressful few days this end - everything I say seems to trite - today's the first day since Friday that me lad has busrt into spontaneous laughter - which was a relief - because we usually have laughter very day in this house.

Unfortunately neither the lad or his parents went to the Police Station of their own accord - so now I just hope they really get it :evil:

So glad to hear son is OK

Yes - let's hope justice is done in this case

Let him rest safe in the knowledge of how much of a better person than them he is.

Hi Sin

Sorry to hear that, but I know how he feels, my bag was stolen while I was walking back to my car after getting off the tube after the Palladium on the 15th, it had my purse and the CD and DVD I bought - it certainly spoiled a great evening!

Luckily, I had my keys in my coat pocket, so I could get into my car and house!

Just started getting new cards, etc through now after having to cancel them all.

That is terrible carol.

Next time i promise to walk you back to your car myself and make sure it doens't happen again.

Hope everything gets sorted.

Carol
I'm so sorry i never realised, I thought you were going with dottie and Roy - or we would never have left you - we waiting with Drac until her hubby came for exactly that reason - i feel so guilty now - I'm soo sorry

Glad your son is okay Sin. He's the same age as my son, and I get grief from both my son and Leanne, (she is 16) if they go the Centre, they get issued with instructions but all I get is 'don't worry mum'.

I wouldn't be a mum if I didn't worry now would I :??: :bicker:

I am sorry this has happened to you, and I agree with sin, if we had known that you were traveling alone (no matter how small a distance) we would have made sure you were alright

Hope you are ok

Don't feel bad Sin, it's no-one's fault except the gits who mugged me!

I did walk to the tube with Dottie and Roy, it was when I got off at the other end that it happened!

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Carol what can I say, we were all so happy when we parted company, I feel for you, check your pm's.

I know only to well the feeling having had my purse stolen twice in the same store in Hounslow.

take care Carol

love dottie

sending u and ur son a big hug

. . .I got attacked today. Most of you are probably smart enough to see the 'reason'.
Anyway, it was one guy and I'm fairly strong and hefty. So I got him in a choke hold and he left me alone after that. . .
But I just feel so sad.
Bah.

*feeling very misanthropic at the mo*

I got frustrated today because some old dear kept on barging my trolley with hers to move me out of the way just so she could get to the discounted baked beans. But I got my own back when I chucked a packet of condoms in her trolley when she wasn't looking and her face at the checkout was a picture. :oops:

I'm sorry to hear that Rob, but I'm glad that you're okay. At least you got a chance to fight back.

Maria

Rob - hope you are ok - as you can imagine - I feel for you - unfortuntely for me something else has happened to my son today and he has reacted and looks like he's in trouble :(
I dunno what is happening to society and dont know how much more I can take of this persisitant attitdude that seems to prevail of i you have summat I don't or summat good - I have the right to take it from you.

I'm so sorry Rob ... I hope you're ok now :(
And I'm so sorry to hear about your son Sin .... I hope everything will be ok ....

And Sin, my thoughts are with both you and Rob right now ...
Vicki

Yes, Sin and Badger, this world we live in is a sometimes cruel, unfair place to be.

Please don't let these negative experiences taint your life - if you do, then the perpetrators have achieved what they set out to do, and more.

I am so sorry to hear about your news Sin and Badger. I hope things work out okay with your son Sin. It is lucky that you were able to fight back Badger but it makes you think of those that wouldn't have been able to.

Please know that my thoughts are with you both.
