The "Happy Slappers"

---

Group of girls terrorising Godolphin & Latymer School

A letter from a W12 resident:

"My daughter's school have issued a warning to Godolphin & Latymer School girls to be aware of a group of girls called the Happy Slappers who approach girls on the way to/from school and attack them for their mobile phones. Apparently 2 girls from the school have suffered from attacks in the last week.

I cannot find any reference to this in the crime reports on the police site - and would like to know more about where these events occurred, as my daughter walks to and from school alone (which she has been happily doing for over a year) and is now terrified to do so."
