Most people think its the same crowd who are attempting it.
Any links?
Haven't heard much about it. Sounds like it's the same general area (South Dublin/Wicklow).
The complaint to the Gardai is not an absolute proof that it is real. The complaint to the Gardai is real, but the incident is still an unverified claim from a 10 year old.The story in the newspaper and RTE this week is obviously real, as a complaint was made to the Gardai but this the first time I have seen a news report verifying the story so its hard to know how prevelant it is.
Its terrible to say but I have my doubts about a lot of these events.
I was hearing these stories since I was a child. And they are always the same, it's always a van and it's always white.
Maybe incidents have occurred but there is a lot of scaremongering around. If scaremongering can make children cautious it can indirectly help.
But there are a lot of hysterical people out there too.
Just on kids making up stories.
Here in our rural area, we have a national school, a one man garda station and a rural bus service. Not unique, heard the same story on Pat Kenny show a few times.
Parents usually collect their child at the crossroads but the bus driver won't wait alone on the bus with the child.
Now you can't realy drop a child off on their own at the crossroads on a dark winters evening but that's the parents fault for not being there on time.
The driver would drop the child off at the garda station as if the child invents a tall tale about inappropriate behaviour the bus driver would never clear their name, mud sticks. The lynch mob would be out
