I know this is the wrong forum but us grapes are a diverse lot and I hope there are those amongst us with expertise and sage advice.
After I retrieved my car today I met a friend for a drink in our local. There is a man that we've known for about 20 years who has an undiagnosed learning disability. His mental age is about 5. He's a gentle soul who has a speech impediment that makes him difficult to understand.
He is being bullied by someone else in our town. From questions today we are fairly sure who the bully is.
I don't know who to go to for help. It should be the police but our local plod aren't renowned for their patience and tolerance with the disadvantaged in our town and this man is not able to deal with this situation on his own. My son has told me not to get involved but the last time this bully was in prison was for breaking the legs of someone on his way home. He did 4 years, his victim is still on crutches.
I couldn't live with myself if something happened to this vulnerable man and I'd done nothing to help.
