[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 604540, member: 14557"] This has made it to even our news (well to tabloids' web news but still) so I do know the basics, but not much details. But I have to say that I'm not at all surprised if the teen doesn't tell parents or other adults that they find someone creepy. I would be more surprised if they did. Teens fear parents would not take them seriously; or take them too seriously and start to demand proof or have a confrontation. This based on my own experience. When I was at High School I had a teacher who creeped stuffings out of me. And he did creep out other girls too and no one ever told any adult. To this date I don't know if there was any reason to be creeped out. He never did anything actually improper and it can be that he just had trouble noticing small unverbal hints and issues with recognizing proper personal space. All I do know is, that hair back of my neck did stand up when he came close to check my work. And when it comes social media, I'm with DDD. To my kids generation it really is so totally different. They have grown up with social media and it is often their main communication tool. It is very difficult to consider what is 'normal reaction' for them based to our own experiences. We simply grew up, and still live, in totally different world than our kids when it comes to these things. It's also police's job to find out what happened. Until proof I would be very hesitant to blame the victim. [/QUOTE]
