This is very worrying I have my own 3 year old Granddaughter & I would give my life to protect her, & the thought of anyone taking her makes my skin crawl. Why do they act on their disgusting abnormal urges. You can never reduce the risks of a paedophile.
What sort of scum ,is walking these streets of ours
Let’s protect are kids especially from Trevor who a bit odd
In this scenario, if I got hold of the bloke. I would not be able to control myself.
So lack of self-control is not limited to the alleged perpetrator.
Most decent people would have limited control personally l cannot believe you said that ,maybe someone should look at you what’s your story
