[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to bring up this thread because I was shocked at something I saw tonight.

I was walking into the grocery store and saw a woman panhandling (she had one of the usual signs and kids with her). Later, as I'm walking through the grocery store, I see one of the kids running around being supervised by a random shopper, who was telling her to pick some things out - I believe the shopper had offered to buy the child some food and the mother had let the child go into the store with her. This was very kind of the random shopper, who obviously had pure intentions, but I was appalled the mother would let her child go into a semi-large grocery store to pick out treats with a stranger, while she stayed out in the parking lot! Maybe I watch too much true crime but this seemed like extremely poor judgement to me on the mother's fault.

How are you so sure that they did not know each other? Most of the hate against panhandlers is based on assumptions, and this seems like no exception.[/quote]
