Wear you ID prominently. You could also show the adults any materials your library has on protecting children from predators. As mentioned above, it's family and those the family knows who are most likely to molest kids. Good luck.

Do you look creepy?

Just how ******* desensitized have we become? Every man talking to a little girl who needs help is a pedophile, every middle eastern is a terrorist, and everyone with a gun is a psycho killer who will go on a mass shooting rampage (no disrespect to anyone in relation to and those lost from those who did go on a shooting rampage)... Welcome to my country, where a 16 year old knows more than his parents, and common sense is rare...

Wow not just over protected but total idiots.

Same thing happened to me bro. Who cares if I wasn't wearing pants at the daycare?

Pedophilia is a very real problem, but it is unfortunate that hype about it makes people paranoid about strangers, especially strange men, which makes life more difficult for men who work jobs around children.

Maybe you should stop offering the children candy & stop wearing that Mr. Roger's sweater, as well as shave your facial hair.

I understand and know the importance of stranger danger but some just take it too far.

Some parents are just too over protective

You better not offer any help to children under the age of sixteen, unless they ask you for it
