Some old lady did that to my kid many years ago.
She was 3 and we were out shopping around X mas time.
I had a hold of my kids hand and the old bat left.
Later, my kid tugs a bit and I look and that same old bat was crouched around a corner trying to get my kid to leave me to come to her.
I never let go of my kid.
With my free hand looking at the woman eye to eye I reached into my coat and put it on my 9mm.
She was gone in a flash.
Reported to security. Dunno what happened after that.
Remember as a HS kid some abduction attempt at big mall.
Media (80's) said it never happened.
Cop said it did.
Learned back then that malls/stores a fave place for sickos to snatch kids.

Holy schit.
Can people be this stupid?
The more this thread goes on the more I should be thanked. It was clearly needed.
And they are not gonna get it because they don't want to get it. They continue to point at the rare chance of the catastrophic possibilities with children/stranger interaction but fail to realize it's more so the EVERYTHING that's involved. Some here seem they would have more respect when encountering your dog in public than your child. A few just might have some short skeletons rattling around deep in their closets.

It’s weird.
Lonely old harmless guy or predator?
I don't know. But when you tell them to fugk off they sure get butt hurt. I've been doing it for almost 18 years now. Had to do it again yesterday. I don't understand why anyone would try and speak to some kid they don't know. May be they were raised with manners. When people smile at them, they smile back. When people speak to them, they speak back. May be they never noticed the asshat with the kid.  Thinkin' along the same lines here... Concur.  Not sure about the azzhat thing. Maybe a well meaning Helicopter Dad. Happy Father's Day BTW! Helicopter Moms and Helicopter Dads... fancy new way of saying "neurotic parent in process of actively sabotaging their kid's psychosocial development". Can't stand 'em. Happy dad's day back atcha, btw.

Nothing says that you’re raising a well rounded child like telling a complete stranger who is merely being nice to “Frick off” in front of said child.

Except, that it is a concise summary of your logic. - - - - -But don't frame it as being logically consistent, or that for a man to talk to a child is tantamount to pedophilia.
Holy schit. Can people be this stupid? The more this thread goes on the more I should be thanked. It was clearly needed. Where's the "stupid"? Just keep begging for the "thank you" - and you may be able to convince yourself that your OP was needed.

Except, that it is a concise summary of your logic.
Exactly.
1) Looking at the numbers, at present there's an approximately 1 in 40,000 chance that a child in the USA might be the victim of a "stereotypical kidnapping" while between the age of 0 and 18. (76,000,000 children * 18 years/100 incidents yearly)
2) Due to the chance of this happening, deflave does not want his children to have any interaction with a stranger. Negative interaction would mean abduction. While a positive interaction would mean that deflave's children would possibly learn that interaction with a stranger is not dangerous. And thus might not feel anxiety when some person does have evil intentions towards them.
3) Children are exposed to activities that are statistically tens to hundreds times more likely to end in injury or death to the child. These activities do include: Riding in a vehicle, swimming, bike riding, running etc...
4) Children that have only have positive experiences while participating in the activities in 3) above, may learn to not treat them as the dangers that they (statistically speaking) truly are: Vehicle deaths account for the majority of childhood deaths in the USA from ages 5-19. Drowning kills more children 1-4 than any other accidental cause. Suffocation in a crib is the leading cause of accidental death in infants.
Ergo, were deflave's thoughts to be logical, not only would talking to strangers be off limits, so should the above activities in 3)
But like I said, if you'd phrased your PSA as "Hey, if someone says "Please don't talk to my kids". Just listen to them and move on", well then you'd likely have 100% buy in. Your kids, your parenting. Got it.
But don't frame it as being logically consistent, or that for a man to talk to a child is tantamount to pedophilia.
Holy schit. Can people be this stupid? The more this thread goes on the more I should be thanked. It was clearly needed. Yes, apparently you can be this stupid.

Eight hours on the range today (a real range not an old dumb-fugk range) with eight other shooters.
This topic came up at lunch and it was unanimous. Don't talk to kids you don't know.
TTT.

If it’s my kid? You let her pet the dog. If it’s Deflave’s? You tell him to keep his little dick beaters to himself before you kick his ass.

Sounds about right.

We taught our kids and grandkids to never approach a dog we dont know. The only dogs that they go up to are the neighbor's dogs across the street. They have 2 escape artists poodles the 10 lb kind. When we go to the park and see dogs they want to pet they have been taught to always ask the owners. A couple of times owners have told the kids no,that they weren't kid friendly. Our grandkids always ask us first and only with us do they approach strangers.Kids asking is the only way to go imho.

Well I never had to threaten my kids like that but I did/do raise them not to approach strange dogs or their owners. Mostly because it's rude. But also because it can be dangerous.

To those that are unaware:
JoeBob hates discussing kids because she was born infertile.
Sore subject and all that.

Tell 'em to fugk off. No.....tell the parents to fugg off. A kid who asks to pet a strange dog has been failed by his parents. Badly.

Although, if somebody did tell kids like that to fugk off, it just might save their life one day. So maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.
