They weren't kids who mugged them - they were about 19 and very big. They had two girls helping them who go to the school. The trouble is that everything that happens there is kept quiet - they advertise it as a safe place to shop. The owners Westfield "own" Dudley - they even have there name on all our area signs. Nothing ever gets put in the paper. It's a conspiracy!

I agree. Living so close I get to hear alot about the problems there. One day we had police searching our garden and the police helicopter hovering over our house. They told us it was car radio thiefs and I knew it wasn't as they don't bother about them. It turned out a child had been abducted in the shopping centre but luckily they had got the child back. It made page 27 in the paper!

Oh Stephanie, I am so sorry to hear about that. You must feel helpless. It is terrible the stories I have heard of the cops there. First a client passes away and then this. Has not been a good week for you has it?

Hello all!  I am very late getting here today, and can only stay a short while but I wanted to pop in and say hello. It's been a crazy busy week at work!  October is the end of the fiscal year for our firm and so it's been insane with everything that needs to be done. 

Stephanie, I was reading your story, how awful!  Those kids must have been terrified! Thank god they are alright.

Thanks for the hug Cathy! Needed it.

I love England but the whole system is in a mess. The bad people are just free to go around doing whatever they want now but if someone had lit a cigarette in Merry Hill security would have been there throwing them out in a second!
