My daughter Erica is 11 and says that everyday when she gets off of the school bus that the same car always follows her home. And she becomes scared and runs and as she speeds up so does the car. What can I do?

Meet her at the bus stop for one thing. If you see the car and it really is following her call the cops!

I would take it very seriously and act immediately. I don't think your daughter would lie about something like that. Ask her to give you a description of the car. Wait for her a bit down the road from the bus stop but in veiw of it (tell her you will be there). Watch and see if the same car she described follows her. If not, still believe her (better safe than sorry) and pick her up from school for the next week or so. If so, try to get the liscence plate number and contact the police.
Either way, don't let her be alone anywhere, especially in your neighborhood since whoever- this-is knows where she lives. Children have been abducted on their front porches before, so don't take a chance. Protect your daughter at all cost.

First, call the police. Tell them the situation. Perhaps they can get a police officer to go to the bus stop and see the situation. Two, don't let your daughter walk home by herself. Meet her there. If you can't do that, see if a neighbor would be willing to do so for you. Explain the situation.
Most importantly, tell the police. I mean, getting your daughter off the bus everyday may prevent anything from happening to her; however, what about other children in the neighborhood or town?

If I were in your shoes I would call a Private Security firm
(a Private Eye ) ----they will know what to do ---
The Police Department in most cities have a lot on
their plate ---they may not have unmarked Vehicles
available ---or the Manpower for IMMEDIATE ACTION--
and that is what is needed
Tell the Security Firm this is a One-Day Action
and it must be immediate ----In addition to a
Plain Car Surveyance they must have armed
personnel --man or woman to be on the
ground to follow your daughter from the bus to your home !
If you do not apprehend this person on the first day
you must tell everyone ---Police --Journalists---the
School Security ----if you get no results keep
your daughter home until the Creep is apprehended
I would move to a safer town if you get no results !
There is nothing more precious than a child !

If you cannot be there to get her off of the bus have a friend or relative do it for you. Get the license plate number and report it to the police. Actually you should report it to the police now and then try to get the license plate number next week. I am not sure what time it is where you are but school will be out soon here so if it were me I'd be leaving work and heading to the bus stop.

You need to take action. do not let her walk home under any circumstance, even from the bus stop/ You need to tell the school and see if the bus will drop her off infront of the house and be at the stop outside when she gets off the bus. YOu need to tell the cops also, school and make any arrangment necessary wth your job or friend to make sure that she is never ever alone out there walking. This person is watching her, and taking note of her actions and times. or a pervert, but whatever, it's not good and he could be waiting for the opportunity when no one is looking. Don't chance it, protect her no matter what.

Meet her there BUT don't get out of the car. Watch your surroundings and observe the car. As soon as you see it, write down the make model and plate #, pick up your daughter, and call the police. Make sure you try to get a good look at the driver so you can describe him to police. If you wait on the bus stop for your daughter, he may drive right by and not follow that day. Then when you're not there he may grab her because he knows he is being watched. Please do this TODAY!!!!!!!

First of all, tell the school that there is suspicious activity going on as your daughter leaves the school grounds. Immediatly, if you can trust your principal/superindendant, the whole administration will be on the lookout. Pick up your daughter every day after school, right at the front, and the activity should end. NEVER LET YOUR CHILD WALK HOME ALONE! This issue could end up as, sexual molestation, harrassment, or rape, death. Secure your child. If the Car leads to your home, lock doors and windows, and make sure she is safe. Never let her out alone. Until you see the activity is gone.

Take a day off of work and pick up your daughter. Write down the licence plate number when you see the car. Try to let this person see you writing it down too. Often they will be intimidated by being noticed. Call the police and tell them what is going on and give them the plate number.
Tell her school principal and teachers that this has been happening to her. Talk to her bus driver if you can too.

I would call the police and let them know this is happening... if the person fallowing your daughter does not know the police have been called, then they might be able to catch him. They can have someone waiting around close to where your daughter gets off the bus and find out if it is the same car or not and find out what exactly he/she is doing. I would call the police for sure though, there are some sick people out there and I wouldnt waste another day having someone fallowing her....
