[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a random man stalking my DD at a secluded trail path in  a busy park in the middle of the day. He did not see me. I called her to climb at the side of the trail towards me and both of us turned to face him. I pulled out my camera and started talking to my DH with the camera pointed towards the man. He moved away quickly from there. 
DD and I walk with a knife and a pepper spray. Now we only walk on the streets near our house and at a time when other people are also walking.  We have also seen drug trafficking on the trails.  This is Black Hill State Park BTW. It is by no mean secluded. [/quote]

I had a similar experience.  My 13 ish DD turned a corner on a trail and was out of sight for a minute.  When I turned the corner, some strange man was stalking her, it was clear he was going to grab her.  He saw me and stopped in his tracks and left.  Still chills me to this day.[/quote]

Yes, she too was on a corner on a trail. The man was stalking her by walking parallel in the woods. He was hiding behind the trees, watching her and rapidly gaining on her.  I yelled at her to come to me quickly and we were petrified. He also looked like a deranged person. I saw my kid being hunted and I still break into a sweat.  This was summer of 2020.  People were outdoors in masks after the lockdown.

We never went back again. By the way, I call it a trail but it was not really a unpaved  trail but a proper wide paved road that goes through the woods and connects to a subdivision of SFHs around the lake.   There are lots of young moms with strollers, cyclists, old people, families,  dog walkers that are on that path - ALL THE TIME, even though it is a quite area.  There is the play ground just next to that road. It was chilling.

Did you call the police?[/quote]

I spoke to police on the non-emergency line once I reached the car.  Since the person had not engaged with us, not seen by others, not present there was nothing they could do. We were also not going to wait there for a police car or park police to show up. [/quote]
