This is my first post here but I have read posts here before. I apologise for a rather unusual topic, but I thought it worth asking.
Recently my 10 year old DD has told me she has seen a man walking near her school as she and her friends have been walking home, and he has been wearing a skirt. Other parents have since confirmed similar stories from their children, and some are quite concerned at primary age children seeing this. Even more concerning, they think it is the same skirt that DD and many girls themselves wear to school, so could he be trying to mimic their uniform? DD wears the M&S box pleat school skirt, which is very distinctive if anyone is familiar with it (3 pleats front and back, straight either side).
Personally I have no problem with crossdressing men, but near a school coming out, and similar to the girls' uniforms, I understand it could cause concern. Am I worrying unnecessarily in the hype of paedophilia etc. Should I inform the school, phone the police, or just ignore it and accept it is up to him what he wears, within limits of decency of course. Is there a precedent for this?
Any ideas
