Thats a nice story, but do you appreciate how difficult it is now to interact with the young or vulnerable because everyone is assumed to be a possible deviant.
Reminds me of the day I went to the supermarket and a boy aged about 7 and his slightly older sister had the most lovely puppy. it was excited and wanted trie to impose itself on all who passed. I reached down to stroke it and the little boy started reciting the puppies history, at this point his sister snatched the puppy with one hand and her brothers arm with the other. she dragged him away telling him off for talking to strangers. Absolutely the right thing to do I suppose but such a shame that things have come to this.
This is nothing new, telling kids not to talk to strangers has been going on for yonks!
