Yip sure rings true about adults around others peoples kids
It’s like a Nazi police state where you’re scared the most innocent dealings with kids, like being asked to tie a kids laces so they don’t fall on
their face is fraught with fear that you’ll be accused of something.
It’s dreadful and imo a very sick society that adults now feel too scared to interact with children and it’s the children that lose out.
Fame is when your old car is plastered all over the internet

I held my friends 5 year olds hand the other day (and he was a boy) ...... any idea of what I'm guilty of?
His mother was with us so would that make her an accomplice?

Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect £200 
Hardly a punishment, 3 meals a day, sky tv, playstation all on the law abiding taxpayer...
But that's another rant
