Yip sure rings true about adults around others peoples kids
It’s like a Nazi police state where you’re scared the most innocent dealings with kids, like being asked to tie a kids laces so they don’t fall on
their face is fraught with fear that you’ll be accused of something.
It’s dreadful and imo a very sick society that adults now feel too scared to interact with children and it’s the children that lose out.
Oh so too tucking frue!

His mother was with us so would that make her an accomplice?
