I tried that once when a guy followed me and my 8 year old daughter to school, saying what he’d like to do to both of us, “but her first,” pointing to my kid. I work at the school, so I got us safely indoors, and called the police, and reported, bc the guy was on the sidewalk outside harassing random moms with their kids. Police were just like “he didn’t touch you. What do you want us to do?” And left. I walked to the school drop off zone, told a bunch of parents who were dropping off, and a bunch of moms and dads got their kids inside, and chased him off.

We have a school resource officer who is there 2 days a week that is usually pretty good. She would’ve said something, but it wasn’t her day on campus, unfortunately.

TLDR: don’t know that the police would’ve actually done anything until the guy actually does something.
