Public Restrooms Are No Place for a Child to Be Unsupervised
Woman in Public Restroom Needs to Be More Considerate
I would like to let this woman know (and any other person who has a problem with a child of the opposite sex in a public restroom) that a child's safety is way more important than your feelings on the matter. My son is in the 2nd grade and just turned 8 a few weeks ago. What is a parent to do? Leave the child, unattended, in public while they go into the bathroom? Adam Walsh, son of the famous John Walsh who is a champion for child safety, was merely one year younger than my son when he was taken from a public shopping center and brutally beheaded.
So maybe this woman thinks that I should have let my son go into the men's room while I waited outside? I would point out that Matthew Cecchi, a 9-year-old boy from California had his throat slashed from ear to ear while his aunt waited for him outside a campground restroom at a paid camping area beach in 1998. This solution is unacceptable and still does not answer how a mom is supposed to go to the restroom, herself, or take younger children if a family restroom is not available. This woman assumed that my son was much older because he is very large for his age and over 5 feet tall. She was wrong and all she managed to do is make a little boy feel like he was doing something bad and offensive.
Those in our population who are hypersensitive to children of the opposite sex in public restrooms stop and consider what the alternative might end up being. Is their sensitivities worth a child being brutally murdered or abducted? NO...these people need to get a life.

Post a Commentdo you hold his dick for him too, and wipe his ass? 8 years old in the ladie's room ! give me a break !
My son is 13 and I still worry when he enters a men's room alone. I stand at the door, time it and watch who goes in and when he comes out. I clearly remember the incident in Oceanside. There are some strange individuals out there.
This only makes me angry, with how this woman confronted your little boy. I can see her pinched lips and finger pointing at him. I have a 6 year old who looks older, and I refuse to let him go into the men's restroom alone until I know he can defend himself and identify perverts. I'd rather take him outside to pee in the bushes rather than go into those bathrooms alone. As a parent, it is my responsibility to protect my son, whatever the cost. I will do that no matter what. My boys safety is more important than trying to please a selfish and heartless witch. If they don't like that I am trying to protect my son from being abused and hurt, then, they can just sit and harbour bitterness. It doesn't hurt me a bit...if, however, any of them would have approached my son and scolded him, they would have been very sorry. No adult should feel they have the right to scold another person's child. They need to talk to the parent. What a bitch!
I absolutely agree with you (yet again!). I still take my 5-year-old son (who looks more like he's 7) to the women's bathroom if he or I need to go in public. I don't care if women in there don't like it. I'm not letting him go in the men's room without me, and I'm certainly not going in the men's room! And it's not as if he's going into the stall with the other women! Pedophile men who hang out in public restrooms waiting for such an opportunity would think it was their birthday or something if a kid wandered in there by himself--it's not going to be my kid. I see people all the time who leave their kids' safety to chance. I come across kids all the time on my street that I could probably swipe with no one noticing for a long time. It's sad. My children can only play in our fenced back yard under my supervision.
