Its a shame these days that you can instantly get a bad impression of someone for the way they look or where they are at the point in time you see them.
We were out for dinner the other night and William needed to go to the toilet, so he went by himself. A few mintues later Jacob and Sam needed to go so I took them aswell. It turned out that the toilet of the restaurant was a communal one for a part of the shopping centre it backed onto. Therefore it was quite busy and there were a lot of interesting looking characters in there. Its not like they were really doing anything suspicious but I found myself instantly relieved I had been in there while my little boys were doing their business. I, from one swift glance decided they were dodgy when quite probably they were your normal everyday person. You hear about so many terrible stories of horrific things happening to young children, so I couldnt help but think the worst in that dingy toilet.
Gone are the days of letting your kids roam the streets and go off all day by themselves, putting your money at the end of your shoe at the beach because no one would think to look there! or locking your bike up to a pole using your inpenetrable helmet strap. Nowadays your childrens safety everywhere is and has to be number one and the security of your things is also of great importance.
What has changed? Are people that different these days?
