Since being attacked at Saskatoon park, Halcrow has been grappling with feelings of isolation and is receiving ongoing treatment for anxiety. TORONTO -- It’s been a harrowing several months for Bonnie Halcrow since she was attacked at a Saskatoon park in May while visiting her daughter.

Since the attack, Halcrow has been grappling with feelings of isolation and is receiving ongoing treatment for anxiety. Even walking in crowds or near groups of children can trigger her anxiety. The attack caused Halcrow to prematurely end her visit to see her children in Saskatoon. The whole ordeal also deterred her from moving there, as Halcrow had been thinking of relocating there permanently.“I usually just drink my coffee and keep focused, ‘I'm there to visit my kids,’” she said. When she’s there, Halcrow mostly stays indoors and avoids walking outside opting to mostly get around by car.

To help her deal with the anxiety, she goes to regular sessions with a counsellor. Halcrow said she’s also learned what her triggers are and how to avoid them. Halcrow, who lives in Flin Flon, Man., worries about her daughter in Saskatoon who goes to the same school as some of the alleged attackers. But she called her daughter a 'strong individual with a kind heart.' But despite her regular bouts with anxiety, she also believes the whole ordeal was “meant to happen.”

In July, following three homicides, Saskatoon Saskatoon Police Chief Troy Cooper pledged to devote more police resources into the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood.

Shame on them

Was this just a completely random attack ? They just start beating an an adult for no reason ? And the kids are too young to charge ?! That’s the first problem and the reason 13 and younger are doing this horrible stuff
