Woman who suffered horrific sex assault in Glasgow park as child calls for more CCTV as attacks continue
dailyrecord.co.ukA young woman who was s exually assaulted as a child in a Glasgow park is pleading for better CCTV to be installed so other women and girls are kept safe after another attack took place there as recently as last week.
Brave Amy Carr, 24, was just nine-years-old when she was indecently assaulted by a 16-year-old boy in Springburn Park on her way home from school in September 2007.
The hellish ordeal destroyed the life of the "happy-go-lucky" wee girl and 15 years later, Amy continues to suffer from affects of the trauma.Hearing about the latest attack on a woman in the park, which took place on August 22, triggered "flashbacks" for Amy, who is now bravely waiving her right to anonymity and speaking up to ask authorities to take action to stop women being put in danger in the area.Speaking to the Record, Amy, from Glasgow, said: "I've had flashbacks to what happened to me since I heard what happened in the park on Monday and I've been left feeling desperate that nothing has happened to keep other women safe in the 15 years since this happened to me."There's been a lot of assaults in the park and I know it's a place some people avoid.
It's not necessarily happening at night. I was attacked during the day the most recent one happened in the afternoon."I think predators would be put off if there was more CCTV." Amy has now launched a petition in attempt to put pressure on Glasgow City Council to install more cameras in the park.
