So, today we took the kids to a play place and we noticed this guy sitting on a couch alone with his ipad and he had no children with him.
At first we thought " no big deal, can't think everyones a weirdo"
Then I walked over there and his couch was right under the stairs for the kids to climb up the play set. I looked over and this little girl was wearing a dress and panties with no shorts. She was spider crawling up the steps.
So I told my dh and he went over there to talk to him.
He just asked him questions like , so do you have kids in here etc.
He said "no, I just like to be in here because it's so quiet"
This is an indoor play place..o.k?
So, we just watched for a few minutes and we never saw him aim his tablet at the stairs but we couldn't watch him the whole time.
We had all of our kids in there.
So, I went to talk to the manager and as soon as he saw me, the manager, and another employee coming back, he got up and left immediately.
The manager thanked me a lot and said he never thought of this.
I always think of these kinds of things sadly because of the wicked world we live in.
The manager moved the couches and chairs right away to the other side of the room and he said he will review the security cameras today.
I am so glad that I took action.
I remember a year ago or so I didn't act when this kid was walking around alone at Burger King and even went out in the parking lot.
I just carried him around asking whose kid it was.
Now, after being a member on this site, growing a back bone, and some confidence I have become quite the child advocate .
