Well- My wonderful little God-daughter Taylor got manhandled in an art gallery today. The woman working there didn't like that Taylor ran from Theresa and was jogging back and forth so she took it upon herself to completely disregard that Taylor's parent was right there and take control of the situation herself! Apparently the women put her hands on Taylor and sort of moved/dragged her back toward Theresa. Knowing Taylor I am SURE she did not enjoy a stranger grabbing or directing her. It just boggles my mind that this woman would not have just said to Theresa "I'm sorry, I'd rather not have her running in the store please".. I mean- THAT would have horrified Theresa enough, but to bypass the parent and go touch a child you have never met before!!?? Very honestly Theresa COULD have filed a report. I JUST saw a news story the other day where a mom filed a report against a man at the park for touching her sons elbow! The point is... who knows what a strangers motives are? MAYBE you are trying to protect your paintings, but MAYBE you are a bad person and you want to touch my child!? I would think that we should ALWAYS err on the side of caution here and NOT touch anyone else's child without permission in situations like these.
The ONLY reason I would want a stranger touching ANY of my children would be in a life or death dangerous situation, then of course, but in a situation where you, the stranger, just think a child needs better or different discipline, absolutely not. Stay away. You talk to ME, the parent, never the child, and NEVER touching.
UG.
