[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m realizing this is a futile exercise. It’s impossible to know what you would have done in the same situation because as clearly as I try to describe it, you were not there.  So I’m asking you to just assume you felt what I felt, and ask what you have done given that. But again, you’re getting stuck on the fact that you think you wouldn’t have felt what I felt.  I get it- I could be some quack who is suspicious of every stranger, you don’t know me. You don’t know my DH. Or I could be a normal mom who has always had pretty good instincts, and decided to follow her gut in this case. Point is, you guys don’t know either way,[b] so you are just getting stuck on that instead of offering feedback that I can actually use.[/b]

I do appreciate some of the earlier responses which were actually helpful. So thank you to those Pp’s.[/quote]

I am not sure what you want from people, OP. You have gotten the same feedback repeatedly. We would have gone with the kids to see the really cool thing. If I had already done that twice and the third time my kids tried to leave without me, I would have said, "Hey, wait for me." If at that point I was convinced there was no cool thing and the kid was behaving suspiciously, I would have said, "Thanks for showing us those cool things, but I need my kids to stay here now. Have a great day!" If I was very concerned, I would have called the nonemeregency police line and said "Maybe I am wrong, but there is an unsupervised 10 year old boy in the park and it seems like he is trying to get younger children to leave the park with him. I am not sure what is going on but I wanted you to be aware."
