We have a similar situation here at the moment and a lot of the children at school were very scared about what they had heard on the radio and from their friends. We asked the local policeman to visit school to tell the children the facts - which he did. We then made it clear that the best way to make sure this man is caught and can not surprise anybody is for us all to be aware he is out there. Since we made it a public concern the man has not been sighted and there have been no more incidents. You are doing the best things you can - be aware, tell your friends, stick together, tell your parents about it and you will be as safe as houses. He can not operate in an area where everybody is on the look out for him and everyone is aware of him.
