>PCSO Kenneth Blake said a man, of “possible Middle Eastern origin” and in his late 30s or early 40s, made the offer.
Oh dear oh dear.
Honestly, this sounds like bollocks. I’d be surprised if there isn’t a follow up statement in a few days which confirms it.
When I went to Egypt in 1997, we were milling around some kiosks when a guy offered to buy my then 12y/o sister for two Mercedes’ and five camels. It was very obviously tongue in cheek. My dad even jokingly shook on it. But the guy was having a laugh.
This is slightly different I think because people in the UK now know about grooming gangs, so even if it were a joke, it was in very bad taste.
If your kid is annoying af tho are you gonna say no?
Mental that all the discussion has been removed and the comments left are ones that suggest it was a prank.
