Schoolboy pestered by Derek Mackay fears mroe teens may have been targeted as his mum slams ‘grooming’
She said: “A man like that is not supposed to say these sort of things to a boy.”
The 37-year-old only learned of the creepy exchanges last week, and told of her horror at seeing Mr Mackay appearing to flirt with her son.“I worry about what would have happened if my son had sent him back a message he wanted to hear. “You can see he tries again and again — like he is trying to get my son to change his mind about something. He is trying to see how much he can push it.”
The pair are willing to cooperate with Police Scotland and share any information that could help with a potential probe.The mother said: “If they wanted to speak to us that would be fine. If that would be helpful, that’s no problem.“I scrolled through the people he follows on Instagram and there seem to be a lot of young people.“Now my son has spoken out, maybe that will help other young people to do so.
At First Minister’s Questions, the SNP boss told how she was not aware of the revelations about her Cabinet minister until The Scottish Sun informed her office on Wednesday evening.Tory interim leader Mr Carlaw asked what contact her party or office had made with the teen or his family and what “support” has been offered, amid concerns for the youngster’s welfare.
