- baltcode 15y agoNo, you don't have to be ok with it. I'd just not hang around someone like that. Calling the cops seems excessive.
- inoop 15y agoLike I noted in my original post, I read the article wrong and thought the guy kissed his own son rather than the family's. So my bad on that one. As to your question, I guess it depends on the person. I wouldn't mind if it was a women for example. If it's a guy, I'd at least go have a chat with him. If I wasn't happy with the situation I'd ask him not to kiss my boy like that or tell my kid to avoid him. I'd certainly not assume he's a child molester right off the bat and call the cops.
- tptacek 15y agoBy having a chat and asking an adult not to molest your children, you are very likely offering a pedophile a free crack at someone else's less well-attended kid. In reality, people who molest children are deeply sick, almost certainly not restricting their attention to your children, very likely have accosted victims before this one, and will very likely go on to commit further offenses. If one of my neighbors saw something like this happen and let it slide, I'd be absolutely furious with them.
- sliverstorm 15y agoThough I've never faced the situation myself, I know litigation is expensive, and your own family comes first. I can't say for sure that I'd leap at the opportunity to go to court.
