So in Essex this week there was an illegal on school grounds who was then seen trying to steal a car the next day in the same area

Now we find out also this week in Kent a car drove on to the pavement and crashed into two girls as they left their school. There is no mention of the driver or of the police making any arrests.

If I was a parent I wouldn't take these two incidents lightly.
