She thought he looked suspicious. If he were a suspicious character, as a woman, she would be foolish to engage him in conversation.

She did what she felt was her duty. If he had been a pervert, we would be lauding her.

He had taken no pictures that day, his camera proved it. She thought he looked suspicious because he HAD a camera with him. She should have waited and watched him from a distance to see if he was actually taking pictures of children.

She is a busybody and needs to be reprimanded for her actions.

A friend of mine who lives across the street from a park noticed a car repeatedly parked on her street and the owner spending a lot of time in the park. She felt very uncomfortable and was concerned for her young sons. We contacted a police officer friend who started watching the guy. It turned out the guy was gay and frequented the park and the men's restroom for sex with strangers. As far as I know he was not a child predator, but I would not have allowed my sons to go into the restroom alone.

I understand the writer's side of the story. However, I also know that it is wise to go with your gut instincts. If you feel creeped out by someone, there is more often than not a good reason for it.

She thought he was suspiscious. Would she have thought the same if he was a she?
