Yes, It’s Such A ‘Rare Occurrence’…

…that we need to warn people against it:

Police will visit schools urging young girls to report sex offences they may have been subjected to.

Officers will specifically talk with 13 and 14-year-olds and also warn them of the
consequences of making false allegations of rape.

For them? Or for the innocent party/parties?

The new project will be piloted at four schools in Southend…

Oh. Great!

Parent Rita Hickey, of Elmsleigh Drive, Leigh, who has a 15-year-old daughter, Kirsty, feels the lessons are a positive idea, provided they are appropriately presented.

She said: “It’s good to encourage awareness and I think this would be a good thing, as long as it’s done the right way.

“It’s all part of education these days..”

Well, it damned well shouldn’t need to be!
