    I was in the park today enjoying the last of the sunshine.

    A three year old wandered over just as I was was tucking into a bar of chocolate.

    She couldn't understand why I wasn't offering her some and got a round of giggles from everyone in sight.

    Adults are supposed to show children manners, not the opposite.

    Sadly the days are gone when a grown man can offer a small child chocolate.

    Children also need to learn that just because an adult has something they dont have to share esp if that adult is a stranger.
    The child could be alctose intolerant or have a nut allegery and how was Victor to know these things.
    Plus if Victore had bitten into it and it was not sharible the gods know what germs he could be passing on.
    Ewwwhhhhhh Victor Cooties.

    Likewise I wouldn't give a child something as it's not up to me whether I give things to someone elses child and these days I would partially expect a parent to arrive and start accusing me of something quite nasty. It's strange when it's gotten to a stage where you would even have to think twice about helping a child who looked lost.

    nasty.... no way.

    i wouldnt offer a child in a park chocolate in this day a and age... plus children cant expect to be able to get anything they want, in particular from a stranger. its a bad example...

    could just imagine the childs beady eyes looking at it and licking the lips.... than bang tears:eek: :eek: u ate all the chocolate....he he:D

    Children should def be not taking things from strangers even if their parents are close by.

    The sooner they learn the better!

    Well, if you did give her some, her parents would proberly shout "pedo", and you'd have gotten the sh|t kicked out of you!

    As Hagar said, those days are long gone.

    I agree with the other op's, but also I wouldn't have given any chocolate to the child because I can be somewhat selfish and think its mine, and all for me to eat, I wouldn't want to share with a strange child, but on a more serious note, if my son (at that age) was to go to a stranger looking for their choclolate/sweets I'd be mortified but always taught him not to take things from strangers.

    It's true you cant just give somebody soemething specially if he's a child or you might get into trouble.

    Isn't it sad that the days when you could show a child attention without being labelled a pedo are long gone. However I don't think this is the case here though as it's well known *Victor is a fat stingy
    bastárd.


    * Only Joking !!!

    And one has to be careful that society loses the interaction between child and "good" stranger. I actually make a point of talking to children if they are accompanied by an adult.

    Only that one time.
