But her 15-year-old son, Chris (not his real name), has been robbed twice in just more than two months. “I’m scared for him,” Lucy said in an inter- view. “I’m frightened and I don’t like to feel that way.” The first robbery was on Friday, Nov. 14 at about 3 p.m., outside of Dunbarton High School. While walking alone to the bus, a group of four teens encircled him. One of them told Chris to empty his pockets while another threatened him and pulled the headphones off his head. “We move here and it’s happening in broad daylight in the busiest parts of Pickering,” Chris said, adding he wondered why no cars Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo stopped to help.
