My sisters came home yesterday and said someone was following them home from school, they got very scared and ran the rest of the way home. They also told me that these two men had also followed one of their friends home a few days ago. Should I call the school and report it or should I call the police station? I don't want to scare them or make them paranoid but I also don't feel they are safe. Any suggestions?

Rather be safe and so something about it...
I'm not sure...how old are they? I would maybe try walking with them to see for yourself . And if you notice something unusual...perhaps call the police and have them look up that street...
Yes.
I'd say call both the school and the police. Get it on report. That is something that is NO GOOD.
And you are NOT overreacting. In this day and age it pays to be safe. Listen to that little voice inside of you...it's probably telling you to call the cops and the school.
They are 12, they said that both of these guys came out of an alley near an apartment building and began calling to them, the more they ignored them the more they presisted, they began to say some foul things to them and that is when they decided to run.

I would listen to them. Contact the police and the school. How would you feel if something did happen to a child--any child? Better to be safe than sorry! I think I'd still walk with them. It would make them feel better.
That would also reinforce to the kids that adults do listen to them and take them seriously. Evidently something happened that made these girls feel uncomfortable.

Report this to the police first and ask for an officer to come and interview the two children. Then report it to the highest ranking member in the school and again ask that they interview the children.
This sounds very much like the conduct of truly dememted rapists.
When I was a sheriffs deputy we would respond to a call like this quickly.

I would love to be able to walk them home from school but I can't and there is no one else to bring them home either, I gave them a cell phone and they are to leave school as soon as the bell rings so they can walk home when there are other people around.

This is enough to make me want to report it. Just to get a paper trail started if nothing else. It's probably some teens being stupid, but why take the chance? And as was pointed out, it shows you'll take them seriously when they come to you with concerns.
