Ever bitten your tongue and walked by when you've seen something and wished you hadn't?
I so wished I'd blasted that dumb dog owner who was letting her little poochy-woo chase the ducks and swans at a nature reserve recently...  |

Yeah happens to me occasionally!!
And more often than not leaves me disturbed or angry, more at myself I guess, for not standing up for something that I feel is just...tho sometimes its wiser to keep stum as it could inflame a situation...or spoil a get together ...bit tricky knowing whats for the best at times isn`t it ....

One of the hardest ones is when you see a child in distress with no parent apparently anywhere near. Go to help and you risk being called a paedophile 
I usually hang around at a discreet distance until I'm sure its okay or ask a female shop attendant to help if its in a store.
Always a tough one. |

yeah the world has gone mad,you cant stop to help anyone nowadays,if you do you run the risk of getting a beating/being arrested or just having your name tarnished,but if i seen a child being harresssed beat and same for anyone,i dont care,il stick by my fathers rules,,,"that could be you or someone you love one day",so l always step in,you can apologise if you were wrong,but cant go back and do it differently if you were right |

Yes - much harder for men - I have stepped in where lost looking kids are concerned and it's been fine. Having had 1 of mine wander off in a harbour resort (scary - bridges, water etc) I know what it's like on the other side - he was crying by himself for several minutes before someone stepped in (it was a case of the 5 adults in our group each thinking that someone else had him - reins stayed on after that!)
If in a shop I try and get them to security/ a shop assistant. On the street I've just stopped with them and waited for a parent to arrive.
I've often told teenagers off for picking on other kids. I've also alerted others (usually reasonable looking (as in nice not phwoar!) men - as a female I'm not going to wade into something where I'm going to get grief if there's an alternative!) to a situation where they've then had a word/ stopped it.
