A man asked for directions and then left?

Makes me disgusted to share a gender with this monster.

how DARE he not know his way?

how DARE he abandon the child upon asking for said directions?

there's either a little more to this story, or else there IS no story

I'm now imagining this taking place in the Outback, with a lost child.

'Excuse me miss, can you give me directions to the nearest town?'

'I think its that way... but I'm lost and I'm not sure'

'OK, Thanks, I'd give you a lift but how would that look? Grown men can't be seen with children... Good luck.'

i recall a ten year old jewish girl in sydney who had a blue with her folks and 'ran away' from home a coupla months ago

she was befriended by an unfamiliar man, who took her to his home, gave her dinner, let her sleep on his couch, gave her a chance to get over the blue, then contacted her parents the next day

i recall at the time thinking how brave he was...

I would be terrified if a child asked me for help. I'd sooner throw rocks at an unattended child than offer it food and shelter.

wow just realized I too am terrified of being confronted by a child. (I'm 22) and tend to get along better with kids than grown adults but I still whenever parents I'm with ask me to watch there kid(s) for a moment while they head to the rest room or whatever have the thought "I hope they come back soon, I have no idea what to say to a police officer if they asked me about the child". I get the feeling stating: "can you watch this child with me till there parents get back" is safe yet still not safe enough.

I'm starting to think I should just hand myself in for something I did at a school a little while ago.

I walked in to a primary school and asked a kid who was, like, 8 or 9 or some shit (I'm not very good with kids ages, they were older than nappies and younger than smoking cigarettes whatever that age is) if they could tell me where the canteen was because I was there to fix something.

They then SHOWED me where it was by leading me there. Or more accurately, I followed them closely for quite some distance while having IN MY POSSESSION duct tape, cable ties and almost certainly some kind of bladed tool that could be described as a knife in a pinch.

Maybe I should be checking the local police Facebook groups. There's probably a manhunt under way.

I'm a bearded tattooed guy who volunteers at the canteen. the looks I get from parents when kids recognise me at woolies and run over to say hi......Always makes me laugh.

This reminds me of when I saw my elderly Spanish teacher - probably one of the best teachers I ever had - on the street while with my mum.

He would teach with these rote back-and-forths with various silliness thrown in (always with him mock-yelling or playing a simpleton - e.g. the first lesson he said "in spain we say 'si, si' to mean 'absolutely' - now, do you have a brother?" "si,si" "YOU CALL ME A SISSY!? * throws book out window *.)

As soon as I saw him I ran up to him and he picked me up, gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek, dropped me, then started yelling enragedly at me in spanish. I turned to introduce my mum but she had frozen in horror a few meters away and didnt really unfreeze until he had come over and apologised a few times.

Policy when I had to work at some schools 8 years ago was not to even talk to the children. This was even at a high school mind you. Didn't help that I was doing telco work that looked more interesting than it was.

[–]Don_Bonnigan 63ポイント64ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think this has something to do with police having to follow up on anything that's been reported to them, to save their asses in the chance that something actually happens.

That was my thought too, but then - do they have to publicise every incident like this? Maybe they do for all i know. Just feels like there is some missing information here.

See, this is a standard joke image, but there was an attempted abduction in North-Eastern Melbourne a couple of years back, and I think the image of the van they were looking for makes the "Free Candy" van look positively benign:

The girl is a big One Direction fan, so when a guy with no direction approaches her for help and then does not follow her when they part ways of course that's going to be regarded as suspicious behaviour.
She's lucky to be alive, poor thing.

Best Comment on the Facebook Post:

"Amazing, a man asks for directions, leaves and now police want to talk to him. The police then give us a pretty good idea on where the girls lives, lets us know that she sometimes walks home alone from school and the route that she travels....... Did someone get into the confiscated drugs again?"

Oh I forgot only men who interact with children are creeps. Silly me.

(Or, y'know, maybe neither of them were dangerous and this whole thing is a fucking waste of police time).

[–]omaca 78ポイント79ポイント  (2子コメント)

I suspect the police are making exactly that point.

The post is needlessly lengthy for such a trivial incident. But because police were contacted, it is considered an incident.

They're subtly trolling people who make calls to the police over stuff like this.

But I honestly believe they were making a point. There was no need for such a long post on that incident.

[–]swoodlenoodle 24ポイント25ポイント  (2子コメント)

Genuinely thought this was fake. Googled it. Real thing.

Surely someone left some detail out like 'he was following her for ten blocks' or something. Otherwise this is just bloody silly.

Lol, I bet the 12 year old girl wasn't even bothered by it. But then the crazy woman stopped her and heard gasp a man had talked to her! She did the only sane thing anyone would do.

Btw, why does no one jump down the woman's throat? She also stopped a random 12 year old girl.

He asked for directions, she stopped her and filed get head full of bullshit. I'd say the lady is the worse of the two by far.

People forget that there are so many salty old women out there demanding everyone feels the same way towards men as she does now that attention on her has dried up.

[–]Twerkle-Belle 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

This was my exact thought. I bet that girl thought nothing other than "oh hey that dude is lost and needs directions" and then this nutjob saw something that wasn't there and made a fuss over it.

I'm in two minds here....I always believe that if you have genuine suspicion and feel that something isn't right, then it's better to be wrong than sorry. However, this is pure paranoia. Have we really gotten to this point where a man simply speaking to a child is treated like some sort of predator?

That disturbs me.

[–]i_suck_withusernames 38ポイント39ポイント  (1子コメント)

It really depends if there's more to the story about how he acted towards her or something (was there some indication that he tried to get her to go with him or something?).

Otherwise it sounds like a complete beat up.

Surely if there was they'd have mentioned it, e.g. "the man was described as acting in a threatening manner" or something to go along with such an otherwise needlessly detailed report.

Reminds me of the time I kindly asked a 3 year old girl not to tap the glass at a pet store, and that she'd scare the rabbits. I walked away before her parents returned to her but heard them ask "What did he say to you?!" in a totally frantic and concerned tone, as if expecting to hear that I had just offered her candy to get in ma van.

Cue the biggest Liz Lemon eyeroll I could muster. Way to shelter your kids.

[–]Goonred 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

There must be some missing information in this. Why would a random woman approach be worried for her safety?

Either way, the NSW police facebook team isn't helping anybody with this. How is anybody supposed to help if it's so utterly harmless or omitting important info.

[–]Schnooks 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Presumably its some goodie tooshoo woman thinking the child is in danger from men and needs help.

From my understanding of the time line, when the woman stopped the girl, the location where the girl and the man interacted would not have been visible. Hence the woman would have stopped the girl out of her own volition.

I presume the girl got home (with or without the "saviour" woman) and said "oh on my way home i helped a man who was lost and some woman stopped me and said I shouldn't walk alone in case men". Then mummy proceeded to flip out and waste police time.

*edit, as others have said, I think its the NSW police force saying, "don't waste our time with this shit"

[–]polite-1 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well not only did someone stop her in the street, a whole street later since she was worried about her welfare, but the girl also went home and told her mother, who was the one who contacted the police.

I was quiet about the selfie incident at the cinema that was posted here a few months ago. The one where a gentleman photographed himself with a silhouette of Darth Vader and incidentally the image of a woman and her child were captured in the frame.

Now I want to post something and amend for that time that I did not post. There were a sect of women who acted hysterical towards men who spoke to other females. Those with different plumbing being the other gender are not somehow protected from being cunts or pricks - right out. How many times have we heard of some cunt or prick who would not stay quiet about something trivial and not keep it away from the general public "Who is XYZ to do ABC!? Does he know who I am!?". Female (or rather chick) chest beating it would appear.

Having said that there are a number of women who are deeply hurt and angry about men and project that to each other, usually to their own detriment. Its one thing to talk about annoyances about gender relations, its another for them to have made it the forefront. If you think it was bad to for you to date a woman like that its worse for the women that have those sorts in their group. Others are just stupid punters with knee jerk reactions, following the sensationalist path. That occurrence one being simply another destination.

I have witnessed more women being blatantly sexually suggestive with kids than any man ever. Women who had invited, forced and tricked kids into kissing them on the lips, stripping them, fondling their backsides and sliding their hands near the groin areas of kids of both genders. In any case family members are more likely to molest their children and younger relatives.

I wish that gentleman is okay now. He would be quite humble and brave to announce innocently himself on the police's fb page.

  • I didn't speak up during previous similar sexist incidents

  • All people are capable of being cunts

  • I anecdotally think women act more like paedophiles

  • I wish the situation resolves well for the man

With those key points, I'd like to tl;dr it up as
