Unfortunately this is a natural technique that we all deploy all day about any unknown persons ........... If we see a teenager with wearing a hoodie he is a potential problem till proven otherwise, if we see a man with a balaclava on out in the dark he is a masked murderer - until proven otherwise. It is the way the human race survives, we develop stereotypes which help us to protct ourselves.
As for the previous comments about not hugging and cuddling a distressed child it is a problem that teachers have had for a good number of years. It affect Special Needs teachers in particular. some of their children desperately need hugs and cuddles but as these kids are often very vulnerable it something that many caring teachers have to try to avoid. A very sad reflection on the state of society
