We had a case come in the other night at about 0200hrs. It was a man who had been really a celebrity in his younger days. Some children had located out who he was and where pestering and harassing him in the street. He told us that they had not but identified out exactly where he lived but he felt it would not be just before lengthy. He was only a modest man and he is now very old and frail. He said that this had happened to him before. He said that he had moved the last time it happened but now he was too old to move. He just wanted to grow old gracefully and in peace.
We chatted to him for very some time as we wanted to find out about his scenario. He didn’t mind the recognition as he had had this all his life. What he hated was the chanting and also the just how much the youngsters frightened him. He stated he didn’t bear in mind children being so disrespectful and disobedient years ago. We also asked him what he wanted to achieve by us helping him. We decided that we would watch what happens when he gets caught with these children.
We followed our client around at a secure distance. Every thing was going ok until he left the shops and was walking back to his flat. All of a sudden there was quite a large crowd of young children about him. They were all chanting his name calling out for sweets. Our client seemed very frightened but he continued to smile and walked a bit faster. As soon as he was close to the flats the crowd disbursed and our client was free of charge to walk where he wanted to.
We had sufficient film to give to the police. The Police were very helpful; they said that as an alternative to him struggling to obtain past the crowd they would send a WPC or perhaps a Social worker to call for him. Our client was delighted as he would also have some company now.
