    I'm ducking out - this is becoming a bit silly now.

    OP, good luck, hopefully there won't be anymore but if there is I'd think about what another poster said about your son being physically stronger etc and tell him to use this to make sure the bloke doesn't bother him again.

    Why would this bother you so much? As a Housing Officer I frequently deal with parents speaking on behalf of their offspring who are usually inexperienced when it comes to dealing with officials & it doesn't bother me in the slightest. These young adults watch & learn & eventually gain the confidence to deal with me themselves


    Young adults who are inexperienced are inexperienced because they've been cotton wooled, molly-coddled and had everything done for them by their parents. You learn by doing, not by constantly having mummy and daddy step in to act on your behalf.

    At 21 your son is an adult....time to cut the apron strings.

    Care to explain?

    It just seems a strange and irrelevant comment.

    Why because I know somebody who works in the local pub?

    You seem to know everybody who goes in the pub, the pub landlady, the rough clientele and their wives

    The older man obviously knows your son and his friends and reads his Facebook page.

    Obviously not much to do in your part of the world.

    And just for the record my son is going to make a complaint about the officer.....his choice not mine.

    People who,live in small places and lead small lives tend to blow everything out of proportion, which seems to be the case here..

    Well that's because the Phil Mitchell wanna be is good friends of hers!
    exactly my point. Landlady and local thuggery in cahoots = rough pub not to be frequented by those seeking a peaceful night out!

    From your further posts you also seem to the think that this thug also has the Police officer in pocket so perhaps a phone call to her inspector is in order as she must obviously be corrupt to lie about CCTV etc. I just hope your son hasn't signed a statement in her pocket book giving a different version of events!

    It's probably not worth it. A better idea might be to just make sure you have the call out logged and the officer number etc and if anything was to happen again you can show you did contact the police and received no help.

    Tell him to go for 'compo' too - then my image of this entire scenario being along the lines of Jeremy Kyle show will really be complete ;)
