We had a case come inside the other night at about 0200hrs. It was a man who had been very a celebrity in his younger days. Some youngsters had found out who he was and where pestering and harassing him in the street. He told us that they had not but located out where he lived but he felt it wouldn't be ahead of long. He was only a small man and he is now really old and frail. He said that this had happened to him ahead of. 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 fairly some time as we wanted to uncover out about his situation. He didn’t mind the recognition as he had had this all his life. What he hated was the chanting as well as the how much the youngsters frightened him. He said he didn’t don't forget kids getting 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 occurs when he gets caught with these kids.
We followed our client about at a secure distance. Everything was going ok until he left the shops and was walking back to his flat. All of a sudden there was really a large crowd of 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 quicker. As soon as he was near the flats the crowd disbursed and our client was free to walk where he wanted to.
We had enough film to give to the police. The Police were fairly helpful; they said 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 firm now.
