Duncanville is a relatively quiet city,
but the molesting of two young
schoolgirls last week has prompted the
issuance of warnings by police and school
officials about the dangers of being
approached by strangers.
We're not talking about a piece of
property that's destroyed or lost, but
we're talking in terms of human
suffering.
Duncanville police are looking for this
man. It was approximately in his early
20s.
He is thought to be the same person who
is responsible for two assaults
at Duncanville High School.
Student told police that she was followed
by a man and told to come along.
A teacher saw the assault and drove the
man off.
A junior high school student also told
police that a man followed her home from
school and forced his way into her home.
The assault was broken up by her brother
when he came in unexpectedly.
School officials have been telling
students to do certain things to protect
themselves.
We have kids who go home without their
parents being there, and so we
tell them not to open the door to anybody
that comes up unless I know who it is.
We ask them especially to pass that word
on to their younger brothers and sisters
who may be going home to a home that's
unattended when they get home and
just students.
Police say they have no clues about the
identity of the man, but they are
concerned because of the high number of
attacks in neighboring cities.
We're not the ones that are going to say
that this man can run for.
You know, we want to pick them up and
we'll let the courts decide what to do
with them. But the feeling among the
officers is, you know, get this guy
off the street, no one else.
