Today, while jogging in the park, I saw a man acting strange and trying to talk to 3 little girls. I jogged over to their mother and warned her about a 'weirdo' lurking around her daughters. Turns out that 'weirdo' is the woman's disabled brother. FML

I saw a man wearing a bike helmet, flailing his arms and following the little girls around. I kept jogging and saw a woman sitting on a park bench texting. She was completely out of site of the girls. I kindly asked her if she was their mother. When she replied 'yes', I told her that I saw a man talking to her daughters and that he looked like a weirdo...that's when she told me that the 'weirdo' was her disabled brother. I apologized to her and took off. I'm not a judgmental person; I was acting on my instincts as a woman to protect these young girls. Believe me, I'm mortified!!!

I mean, your intentions were pure. I'd rather that you help prevent a situation than you allowing something to happen.

I think that it's a good thing she warned the mother. What if that man had been someone who was trying to hurt them, but because she was worried about what people would say (specifically everyone saying she deserved it) she just jogged past? What if those girls ended up on the news? What's wrong with this country is the people saying that she should mind her own business, she's just trying to look out for the safety of someone's children. People need to be more caring of other people then maybe the world would actually improve.

it may have been embarrassing, but I think you did the right thing OP. Better to have an embarrassing mistake than to regret the crime you could have prevented.

It's not like you knew, so I voted fyl, but in all honesty, you obviously didn't say it in the right way. You should have asked "by any chance, do you know that man?" instead of starting off with "m'am, there's a creepo talking to your children". So, you both deserve it and fyl. But learn some communication skills brah.

And also I meant to say that you DID have good intentions though. It's good you took charge of the situation instead of letting it happen. Keep doing that because it will help the world, but like I said...think of how you word things, first :)
