It read: "My daughter is 16. We live in the Cardonald area. She was coming from work tonight passing by Cardonald train station at the flats. A car was parked in the path, he then put his window down when my daughter was passing asked her the way to Penilee. She tried to give directions then he asked her where she was coming from, does she stay in the area.
"He then offered her £20 to get in his car for her to show him where Penilee was, she said no. He offered £40, she said no. He offered £60 then £100. At this point my daughter is extremely uncomfortable, It’s pitch black outside and there isn’t a soul. He told her how sexy she looked, she started to walk away. In a panic she phoned her friend then she called me.
"All she got was it was a grey corsa and he was wearing one of the bright yellow work jackets.
"It was in the Cardonald area this happened just after the Cardonald train station heading towards Morrisons."
