"Ooohh those gypos are stealing our children".
I have heard this story before and it is bullshit.

The racism behind the story is as clear as day, you just refuse to see it.

How can it be bollocks? "Romanians" (ie gypsies) are the bogeymen in this story.
"We're scared of those mysterious strange people, let's alienate them more, after all it's okay to hate 'gypos'. We can't make this about blacks or asians though cos that would be proper racism. Yep we'll stick with the gypsies on this one, that will really shit people up and a 'gypo' stole our dog once, so they probably steal kids too."

don't want to get too involved as its bleeding late, but say a young mother believed this story and acted as a responsible parent should, concerned and vigilant over her child's safety.
Would that parent then act in the same manner the next time she has her child and encounters polish youths? or would she keep a stronger eye on her child? perhaps even grasp it's hand in a bid to keep it closer to herself? wearily watch the youth's until they are out of harms way?
Is it feasible then that the same woman may want to warn her friends about the "incident at ASDA"? perhaps even warn her friends about a couple of dodgy Poles she'd seen?
All of a sudden there is a, albeit slight, sub-culture who thanks to an urban legend are irrationaly scared of perhaps, and probably, perfectly innoncent Polish youths.
It is the exact thing that causes racial disharmony, and whether deliberate or not has the potential to alter the thoughts and actions of a number of people.
Of course people should be vigilant and responsible with their children, but certainly not with urban legends. I'd hope that the equally horrifying yet true incidents such as the Soham murders would provide a strong enough reminder of why we should look after our children.

This story is older than you Robbo and it's been around the internet for years. It's always a Rumanian or a Pole or whatever nationality someone has it in for on that particular week. There is clear racist overtones to this urban myth, you just don't want to admit it.
