Hong Kong parents alerted after child stalked by woman in park after school
- ELCHK Cheung Wah Kindergarten in Fanling says some parents reported woman ‘kept staring at and following one of the K1 children’
A Hong Kong kindergarten located near the border with mainland China has urged parents to keep a close eye on their children after a woman allegedly stalked one of its pupils in a nearby park.
ELCHK Cheung Wah Kindergarten in Fanling said on Thursday it had issued a notice warning all parents about a woman suspected of following a Kindergarten One pupil.
Some parents reported the woman “kept staring at and following one of the K1 children” while the pupil was playing in the park opposite Fanling Centre after school hours, the notice issued on Tuesday said.
“Luckily, [the woman] was spotted and stopped by a parent in time before she left quietly with another man a distance away,” the notice said.
“Parents are worried about a kidnapping syndicate in the area. They are advised to be extra careful when picking up and dropping off their children, and never let them walk around alone.”
The kindergarten said it had nothing to add to the notice, which indicated the suspect was a Mandarin-speaking woman.
