'I was 13 when two men tried to abduct me'

When the incident was reported to gardaí, they responded by saying that it was probably just two men 'having a laugh', writes Shauna Bowers.

Irish Examiner journalist Shauna Bowers.

I was 13 when two men tried to abduct me.

It was around 7.30pm on a weekend in October and I was walking home after a trip to the local shopping centre with two girls with whom I really wanted to be friends. That was my biggest concern at the time.
