[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to summarize, we live in a world where

[b]1. Children should assume that all adults mean harm.[/b]
2. Adults who are worried about children should call 911 instead of approaching the children, because see #1.

There's something wrong here, and it's not two children walking home from the park.[/quote]

What they should do is not assume everyone means them well! As an adult I make that same assumption. Does not mean I am crazy paranoid or looking at everyone with the side eye, but I do not assume everyone is safe and on their rocker[/quote]

There is a difference between assuming that everyone means well and assuming that most people do not mean ill. Plus, the fact is that most people do not mean ill. Also, it's not possible to function in public in normal life assuming that everyone means ill. [/quote]

Why do you think that if you don't let your 6 and 10 year old wander around commercial areas alone you think everyone means ill?  I don't think everyone means ill.  I think a very small percentage of people mean ill, but unfortunately, they don't wear signs on them saying so.   [/quote]
