A mum said she was shocked and disgusted when a bundle of porn pictures was pushed through her letterbox.

Leah Glean said she feared the pages of naked women could have been seen by her 10-year-old daughter.

Ms Glean said the magazine pages were shoved through the front door of her Hinckley home at about 8.30pm last Friday.

“I was upstairs and noticed a big group of teenagers across the road near the shop,” she said.

“I kept an eye on them as it was odd to see so many together. Then, I saw one of them run across the road in the direction of our house and heard the letterbox go.

“I shouted downstairs to my husband Nick fearing that the youth had put a firework through the door.

“When Nick got to the door he saw a pile of pages from a pornographic magazine on the floor.

“He opened the door and shouted at the youth but he had run off, with the rest of the group, down towards the park.”

Ms Glean said it was lucky that her daughter was upstairs getting ready for bed at the time.

“When the letterbox goes we normally ask our daughter to see what it is,” she said.

“I am so glad she was not down there as it would have been terrible for her to see such pictures.

“Posting porn through a letter-box may seem like a lark but not if an innocent child is exposed to the pictures.”

Ms Glean said she considered calling the police but decided not to.

“I was so angry but I thought the police have got a lot on and it was probably not on the level to concern them,” she said. “I was very, very upset though.”

She took to Facebook to warn neighbours about the incident. There were more than 150 comments.

Andrea McClennon posted: "Hope you're daughter is ok. NOT ok under any circumstances to expose little one to that.”

Marnie Jane said: “Remember when you used to play knock a door run not shove porn through the letterbox and run.. weird how things change.”

Ms Glean’s anger subsided when there was knock on their door the next day.

“It was the young lad and his dad,” said Ms Glean. “The dad said it was his son who had posted the porn pictures through our letterbox and he apologised for that.

“He also made the lad apologise too. I am reassured to see that even in this day and age that a parent would take responsibility like this and come to apologise.

“We really appreciate the dad taking it upon himself to say sorry for this unfortunate incident.”
