[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 23 in a mall in S. Florida, and a young boy approached me, dragging an even younger boy with him. He asked me if I could buy them something to eat. I was so shocked that a child asked, that I handled it terribly and said no. That was 22 years ago. [/quote] How did it change your life?[/quote] It made me think through what to do if that happens again so I can be "ready" going forward. To me, the real issue was that he was too young to be alone in a mall and needed adults looking after him - either I should have reconnected him with his parents or called the police or something. In the moment I was just so shocked because I'd never been panhandled by a child under 10 before. Obviously it stuck with me since it happened over two decades ago and I still remember them. [/quote]
