Gratitude

By srsly_what - 28/04/2011 23:13 - United Kingdom

Today, a little girl wandered into the glass-cleaning area of the pub I work at. It's a dangerous place for a little kid, so I took her hand and asked where her mum was. The kid starts screaming and the mother appears in the doorway shouting "GET AWAY FROM MY BABY!" FML

If she kept an eye on her child these situations could be avoided.

I don't think it's the kid. If some big scary adult came and grabbed my hand when my parent's have, for the however many year's I've lived, told me to run and scream. I would scream. If I was the parent and saw someone hold my child's hand I would of kicked. HARD. Then call the cops notifying them of a kidnapper.

*sigh* or 26 you could demand why he/she was holding her hand before you kick. What if the situation was different and the guy/girl was trying to save your kid. then you kicked him outta way then your kid got in trouble, but that's just a "what if" point is violence is not a good way to start.

26 - seriously? it's more the parents fault for letting the kid out of there site, and even if the kid got away and you see an adult with them you can't just kick them!! idiot.

Nothing much happening behind those blue eyes...

*sigh* This is why we can't have nice things. I get that some people set off the stranger danger alarm immediately, but violence isn't always the best response. Yeah, if I had a kid, I might react that way, if I saw a guy(or even a woman) take his/her hand and my kid screamed, I won't lie, but it's not always the best reaction: When my sister was a kid, she used to get confused and start going off with strangers, taking their hands, often, thinking it was my mom or dad. The only time the person didn't help her find our parents was, contrary to popular belief, a woman outside a church, ironically. Not everyone is bad. I'm 6'6", and a little built, I'm sure I set off people's stranger danger alarm, even though I know I would never hurt a kid. The solution to this problem, potentially, is to avoid holding the kid's hand. Do not touch the kid in any way. Ask them if they know where the parents are, then offer them your hand. A kid is less likely to trust someone who just up and grabs them than someone who talks to them first. It's not your fault, though, OP. just be careful when dealing with kids. If I'm not mistaken a pub, is pretty much a bar? Who takes their kid into a bar?

*sigh* this is why, this is why we can't have nice things.. Barry you asshole! (archer) :D

Ah, thank you for that correction =)

#49 The first part of your book doesn't make sense... u say violence isn't the best way YET u would probly do the same! js

violence shouldn't be the first option but it's still an option lol

^ What dudeitsdanny said :) That saved me a rant :P Yea most pubs serve food all day and in the evening turn into a typical bar.

Oh geez. depending on the situation. obviously I wouldn't go right out and kick someone! but I would definitely be thinking what can I do? I would be scared someone was taking my child. my first reaction isn't going to be oh there just bringing my child back to me. call me over protective. whatever. OP don't ever touch a child unless you have absolutely have to. I work in a childrens store and there are some things you just can't do. sry bout ur situation.

#26 people like you make me stock. Act first and think later is it. Not all adults are sick perverts you know.

the parent shouldnt let the kid be wandering wherever they want. as an employee, he has the right to remove the child from the area.

This is the Pussifacation of the world. Somehow pub employees doing their job have become child touchers and pedo bears. And every single guy out there wants to bang your child... Jesus people stop listening to the news. It's all horrible for instances and bad out comes. Come up with your own opinions, don't just let the news give u yours.

#63 I wouldn't let psychos like you near my kid in a store anyway. I'm afraid you might kick them.

#63- you work in a children store? oo I might just have to buy me one of them children...

you are a frickin teenager. I bet you don't even have kids. you have no right to diss someone's parenting skills until you've been one yourself. fyl

but him grabbing her hand was a bit much...he could have just gotten eye level with her and asked where her mom was. hand grabbing = stranger danger alert

Her mom was ordering “sex on the beach”. WTF? A kid in the pub?

you've obvs never been to England. kids are allowed in pubs all the time.

my thoughts exactly... WTF is a kid doing in a pub in the first place?

American ignorance. lol. almost as retarded as those americans that came over for the Royl wedding. you have a big day to celebrate ditching Britain then you come back to watch an English prince get married. WTF

Both 68's and 11's profile pics are amazing.

Sure, maybe it's ok legally to take a kid into a pub/bar in places- but I'd rather it be illegal so that the kids don't get killed because those people who believe they are sober when they try to drive home.

Are we not allowed to be friends. Just because we are separate does not mean we are not of descent and still care not of your wellbeing. Also not all Americans are ignorant you ignoramus, the worst do not stand for the rest nor the best.

...huh? So, you're saying restaurants that serve alcohol shouldn't allow any children?

140: Some comments deserve long, well-thought-out replies, and others deserve short ones. Yours deserves two words: **** off. "American ignorance" makes you look like a real bitch, as evidenced by all the down votes you deserve.

well at least you tried to help.. but sorry OP :/
