I personally would always , without doubt, help a distressed child.

Never lost mine and at 37 I think It's a bit late now.

Going to look at a post from 3 months ago hardly constitutes a leap back to another era when thoughts were maybe different.

What have you never lost and why is it a bit late at 37

If I see a child who is in distress...I don't give a monkey's about the PC Brigade....I will come to the assistance of that child.
I am a grandfather and would appreciate interference of a stranger to come to the aid of any of my grandchildren should the occasion arise.
I would willingly spend the rest of my life in prison if anyone interfered with my family.

Well I would keep my wits about me If I lived In Spain. Being that 121 people have just been arrested on child porn offenses involving hundreds of children,some not much more than babies.But then It's nothing new.

The dogooders are now running are lives and sadly their so called good intentions are putting the vunerable at risk. Again a minority are making life a huge set of quandries for the well meaning and inoccent. What will it take for these people to realise that we are not all perverts or weirdo's?

I don't think it's being labelled a pervert that deters people. It's the hassle you get from the police/press & do gooders that cause reluctance to help. Either way, I would never ever ignore a distressed person.

I said distressed, not useless.

Honestly, I would probably be lynched if I helped them.

I was in the park today mucking out the goats, cutting grass and just generally making lots of noise and tidying up. After nursery and dinner Emily came back up with me and we finished off. I was working while she ran up and down the path talking to all the animals - well it saves her talking me to death. A couple in their 60's came in to feed the animals. Emily being Emily went up to the lady to ask her what she was doing. the lady asked me if it was ok for Emily to feed the animals with her. I said of course it was. When they were about to leave I heard her tell Emily to come back to me and she told me she was leaving the Pets area.

Not all people are bad. Most are good, its just that we like to see the worst in others these days, it is making us a very sad society to live it.
