Sad to report that two young black men just punched my daughter and stole her Iphone. She was walking home from high school with two of her friends.
The police told us that two other children from the same were also jumped. Apparently, these thieves are from the Toronto area.
I live in a quiet upper middle class neighbourhood in Vaughan. It is a mixed neighbourhood.
Thank god that my daughter is OK. She is quite shaken up.
Please advise your children to keep their Iphone in a safe place when in public. Sadly, she had just taken out her iphone to call my wife to advise her that she was on her way home.
My daughter and her friends were able to provide a description of the these criminals including a licence plate number. I also called Rogers to block the phone and they provided a number that the criminals used to dial once using my daughter's Iphone.
It makes me very angry. I had cleansed my heart of biases on racial profiling of potential criminals but this has me really thinking deep and hard.
Sad, very sad.
