We had a case come within the other night at about 0200hrs. It was a man who had been fairly a celebrity in his younger days. Some kids had found out who he was and exactly where pestering and harassing him inside the street. He told us that they had not but found out exactly where he lived but he felt it would not be just before long. He was only a tiny man and he is now quite old and frail. He said that this had happened to him just before. He stated 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 discover out about his situation. He didn’t mind the recognition as he had had this all his life. What he hated was the chanting and also the how much the children 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 attain by us helping him. We decided that we would watch what happens when he gets caught with these kids.
We followed our client around at a safe distance. Almost everything was going ok until he left the shops and was walking back to his flat. All of a sudden there was very a huge crowd of young children about him. They had been all chanting his name calling out for sweets. Our client seemed quite frightened but he continued to smile and walked a bit faster. As soon as he was near the flats the crowd disbursed and our client was cost-free to walk where he wanted to.
We had enough film to give to the police. The Police had been very beneficial; they stated that instead of him struggling to get 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 business now.
