Yes, its the other adults that I worry about, not the kid. (It warms the bottom of my heart that some kid other than my own feels comfortable enough to give me a hug!) But as I said, that’s tough if someone were to object.
Unless it was the child’s parent I would respect their wishes on that. But I doubt that would happen as I know all the parents too. And I’m not sure what I could do about it, its almost always the child that initiates the hug.
The rest of society is now looked upon with suspicion when only a minority are guilty.
We've got a big problem here!
