Social media has been flooded with reports of the man wearing Belfairs Academy uniform in the vicinity of the Highlands Boulevard school this week, as well as on a bus in the area while children travelled home. Photos have also been posted online of the man wearing a Milton Hall Primary School uniform.
School uniform supplier Paul’s School and Workwear in Southchurch Road says it has received multiple emails and calls regarding the individual. In a post on Facebook, a spokesman for the business said it had not sold him the Belfairs uniform but added: “He was in store this week purchasing a grey box pleat skirt that he said was for his granddaughter, he is now banned from the shop.”
What do those tasked with the protection of society do?
Essex Police has identified the individual and officers from its community policing team have discussed the incident with the man in question.
'Discussed'..?
The force says it understands the community’s concerns, but the man is not a risk to the public.
*blinks* But wait! There's more!
Police have also urged residents to stop sharing photographs of the individual on social media.
What?!
An Essex Police spokesman said: “We would like to remind the public that continued circulation of images on social media could have a detrimental personal impact on those concerned and we would ask that the public refrain from circulating images.”
Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds the police are concerned for his welfare.

Is part of the problem that he isn't actually doing anything illegal? Agreed, the police shouldn't be bending over backwards to stick up for him, but unless he actually breaks the law I could see that they could have a problem.
Yet had he "misgendered" some online trannie or used a few hurty-words on Twitter, they'd have been round his gaff at 3am 7 vehicles and 20 officers.
So ... standing around praying is an offence worthy of hanging, but acting like a predator around school children is 'nothing to see here, move on', right?
I suspect this is because a number of police there ... do the same themselves (especially the Chief Constable, last seen dining out in a fetching mini tartan pleat number with his underage 'niece').
Crikey... leaping to a pervert's defence like 'lightening',Jaded?
"Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds the police are concerned for his welfare. "
I wish it did sound unbelievable. I really do...

I don't know, isn't part of the problem that the police have managed to make all sorts of other things illegal by claiming potential breach of the peace?
"...they'd have been round his gaff at 3am 7 vehicles and 20 officers."
Spot on!
"So ... standing around praying is an offence worthy of hanging, but acting like a predator around school children is 'nothing to see here, move on', right?"
Yes, it's the appalling double-standard that grates so much here. If the law isn't even-handed, it's not worth respecting.
"I wish it did sound unbelievable. I really do..."
I hear you, I really do! 😢
