A crying girl came to her husband near the store. But he made the only right decision: took a step back and called the police.

Protect, protect and protect at all costs. Thirty years ago, this position of an adult man towards even a foreign child seemed to be the only correct one.

Nowadays, men are rattling from a strange child, like the devil from a ladana. Has the man gone today?

No, it is something else. On the wave of general pedophilia, the normal human reaction of a normal man: to protect, to protect, can lead him to the bar of the accused.

Or make your wallet a lot easier. After all, the smallest and most defenseless are all used for their ugly purposes by fraudsters.

Recently, my husband almost became a victim of such a fraud. And yes, I’m 200% sure it was just a scam!

A weekend, vanity, close to the shopping center full of cars: everyone is stuck.

Somehow finding a place somewhere on the edge, the husband parked our big horse, came out of the car, and here...

To him suits a crying distracted 10-year-old girl in a rather dirty jacket.

She explains that she is lost, her mother and brother have gone somewhere and she cannot find them.

Imagine: parking cars, everyone runs on their business, some cars park, others leave. And then a little frightened child pulls a thin pen to you, asking for help.

Are you a man, or who?? to

Naturally, any normal man will take the child by the hand and take him to the shopping center! There is danger around the car.

Probably in the hands of fraudsters.

The husband, himself unwilling, as it turned out, carried out the most correct test.

Stiring his hands into his pockets and delivering the phone, he calmly said to her, “Now I’ll call the police and they’ll quickly find your mother!”

This situation reminded me of my favorite children’s film “A Guest from the Future.” Remember how a little girl, with a deep bass, slandered her grandmother with bad words?
As soon as the word "police" sounded and he began to pick up the number, the girl fell down quite boldly in an unknown direction, lost among the cars.

After this, not caring about shopping and the hungry family, the husband went to the nearest OVD and told the guard that near the shopping complex "Galerie":

a) a missing girl (with a description of the receiver) who, when mentioned by the police, quickly escaped;

b) the fraudsters engage the girl herself.

The officer thanked him and called the patrol car to the "Galerie".

From the point of view of the man of the 80s, the husband did wrong. But in the courtyard - the 21st century, and its realities are such that, offering help to another child, you can shuffle the term on the "happy" article.

By the way, after the incident, the husband noted that the parking lot, where he was ordered to stop, is practically in the "blind" zone of surveillance cameras.

It turns out that the call to the police is a good test: if the child is not to blame, you will calmly wait for the crew, which will take care of the child's problems. And if the child is an accomplice of fraudsters, then he is most likely to escape when mentioning the police.

and paranoia? possibly. But, as the saying goes, “even if you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean you aren’t being watched.”

And... take care of your children!
