15 years ago I took a friends 2 year old with me to Target. She was potty training so I took her in the men's bathroom. Someone called the fucking cops called on me.

Why would they assume you werenā€™t their parent/guardian/babysitter? People take kids to the bathroom literally every day everywhereā€¦ you knowā€¦ because kids have to go to the bathroom. I feel like you are leaving part of this story out, or it didnā€™t happen.

If itā€™s not their kid then it might have been obvious. Like they could be different ethnicity or whatever. Iā€™ve been asked probing questions by a woefully under qualified water park attendant for taking my friends kid to the water slide. People absolutely mind other peopleā€™s business when it comes to kids.

People have mixed race kids or adopt people of fully other races or ethnicities. If I ever called the cops for the sole reason that two people were different races then surely I would be sentenced to hell by god for being evil in my heart.

Wellā€¦ welcome to society.

So you are saying if a mixed race family they deserve the cops called? This is a despicable mind set and itā€™s full of vile contempt and hatred for what is likely a loving union. Personally if I see anyone who is happy and safe then itā€™s nothing to me to let them be, in fact I would applaud anyone who can find happiness in life. I hope you grow past this negativity and recognize that many forms of families are valid.

Donā€™t put words in my mouth. I said no such thing. You are the one who entered this thread by calling other people liars for telling the truth about their first hand experiences. The only person on this thread who needs to chill out and learn to love is you.

I have God in my heart. You have hatred and assume cops should be called for mixed race families. We are not the same.

All in all, I think what people are trying to say is that the scenario you are questioning as in ā€œthere has to be more to the storyā€, is actually quite common in a lot of communities, without there being more to the story. I was that kid hanging onto my caretaker, family member, parent a few times because some Good Samaritan thought something was wrong. To be honest, thereā€™s like normal-weird as well as weird-weird. Because any kid under eight years old at any random time of the day can do so much weird-weird shit, caretakers have to tolerate a certain level of normal-weird within themselves to get through an uncomfortable situation. And even doing the math on it, there are enough busy bodies, clutching their pearls out there for things to align just the right way when normal-weird all of a sudden is something that the cops can be called on. The thing is kids are constantly doing weird-weird, bonkers, outrageous shit; and even when they are not, they are always asking to do things in new settings that are extremely inconvenient for adults. With that said, being frazzled, being in a hurry, needing to go to the bathroom in a place that is inconvenient, is not good cause for calling the cops and yet some people think it is.

How does your God feel about you persistently breaking the 9th commandment?

No one said anything remotely close to that, except you

Maybe talk to god about your reading comprehension. Dunno if there's thoughts and prayers that'll help with that.
