As a follow up to my last post-- Once Delia was home from school, I did call the police. It only took about an hour and a half for a police officer to show up to take Delia's story. I thought it might take longer since it wasn't really urgent.

The police officer said he'd file a report because, while nothing illegal happened, it's suggestive. He left us a card in case the guy turns up again.

Delia remained fairly calm while the police officer was asking questions. She was nervous about it, but she held together.

I'm so glad you called the police. If nothing else, it shows Delia that there is support there for her, and the police are there to protect her as well as you.

Must be so traumatic. I hope this is the end of it and it turns out the guy wasn't meaning any actual harm. *hugs*

I'm hoping this is the end of it.

She doesn't seem to be afraid to go outside, so there's that. I was afraid she'd be reluctant to go out again.

Thanks for the support!

Also hoping that this is over for you all. I still might mention it to some of the neighbors that have children so that they can keep an eye out for this fellow if it was something that happened here. We have a lot of kids about here.

And the police officer sounds like a good person. There may not be much that they can do in this instance, but at least they will be on the alert in case it turns out to be someone who is making a habit of being (at the least) weird.

With luck, this will be the last of it.

The police officer was very calm and matter of fact with Delia. I was pleased about that.

It's good that you called the police; I'm glad Delia handled it well.
She's such a brave girl for telling you!

She was scared to tell me. I think she was afraid that I'd say she'd done something wrong. We've been emphasizing how good and brave she was. Well, we were. I haven't mentioned it to her since just after the policeman left. It was upsetting her.
