Re: Strange encounter at diner with family: what would you do?
Giving away a stuffed animal that you just won from one those claw machines is one thing -- an adult male carrying around a bag of lollipops and handing them out to young children immediately sets my spidey sense tingling. To me, that creates concerns about predators and "grooming." I wouldn't make a scene there and then, but I would very soon thereafter have a talk with my daughter about NEVER accepting candy from strangers, and never allow it to happen again.
And I would make certain that the guy left before I did, so he couldn't see what car I was driving and take down my license plate number.
For whoever it was a couple of pages above who said something about an older generation having been more in loco parentis, all I can say to that is B.S. I'm 73 years old. I either am that older generation, or my parents were. I grew up in the 1940s and 1950s, and we were constantly warned and reminded to NEVER accept a ride or candy from strangers. There were pedophiles even then, it just wasn't talked about as openly as it is now.
Creepy is creepy, and an adult male carrying around a bag of lollipops is creepy.Last edited by Greywolf; July 23rd, 2017 at 01:19 AM.
