🚨 Bournemouth Boscombe Beach PLEASE READ & SHARE IMPORTANT WARNING This happened today while my son was playing in the sea. A man approached him. I was close by and watching, but he clearly assumed my little boy was on his own. He went right up to him, touched his face without asking, and started asking him his name. It happened directly in front of me. I jumped up immediately and went straight over as soon as I moved towards them, the man hurried away quickly. My son told me clearly: “He touched my face, Mum.” I caught up with him and said firmly: “Don’t you ever touch a child again! That is absolutely disgusting behaviour.” He was part of a large group of men, all appearing heavily intoxicated. Instead of acting ashamed or concerned, they all just laughed loudly and spoke amongst themselves in their own language completely unbothered, as if this kind of behaviour is normal or acceptable to them. It was incredibly alarming, arrogant, and threatening to witness. I managed to take clear photos of exactly what they look like and what they were wearing attached here. Touching or approaching a child you do not know is never okay full stop. I am reporting this formally to the police right away. I will update everyone once I have my official crime number, so if anyone else encounters them or something similar happens locally, reports can be linked together. Please keep a very close eye on your children, stay alert, and share this warning these men should not be able to act this way and simply walk away like nothing happened.
