Really?  That's scary!!

 

I must have been about 7 or 8, but every so often we (the family) would take a train ride to Lisbon to visit a large fun fair, which would go on into the evening. (Y'know like those chavy fairs that invade our local fields )

 

Anywho, i remember one train trip and there was this woman, sat down from me, who was constantly staring, at me, and whispering to her friend.  I distinctly remember that she was wearing bug-eyed type sunglasses, and had dark hair .

 

So we get to the fair and the first port of call was the 'Caterpillar Rollercoaster'. I went on with my brother and as we were going around, I would look out for my Mum and Dad so i could wave to them.  I then saw that woman again, watching me go round on the ride, she had her friend with her too.  Even though I was very young, it did still creep me out.

 

As the evening went on, the fair would get very busy and we were walking through a big crowd.  For one short moment my Mum let go of my hand and as she did the woman grabbed me and started running off with me.  I screamed out, Mum heard, ran over and 'lamped' the woman. She let go and ran off.

 

My parents tried to explain it to the police but they didn't understand what we were saying.

Rawky that's awful!  Your poor parents must have replayed that moment over and over again with the 'what-if's.  Just shows that it's not just 'strange men' we need to teach the kids about.  I do say 'strangers' most of the time but you've made me realise I should apply it to women too so they know it's not just creepy men but women too.
