I have a daughter a bit younger than you and one more (boy) along the way, I've learnt to make it part of my nature to say 'no' to people when it comes to my daughter so far. <BR/>As a parent, you have every right to protect and safeguard your child even if it seems extreme right now. Like someone else mentioned, you gut is always right! Even in the initial touching, I would've politely asked the man to stop touching my child. If he would've continued, he would've eventually have gotten my wrath! <BR/><BR/>As sad as it might sound to some, I have not and would not allow anyone whom I do not know in person to interact with my daughter in such a way that it makes me uncomfortable. Call me a paranoid momma but in this day and age, I'd take my chances with my child be deprived of human touch that has no blood line or close family ties to her, even then with an eye of a hawk on my part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986701.post-81405029278928140542007-08-20T21:08:00.000+02:002007-08-20T21:08:00.000+02:00Seruppala adichirukanum...my dad did that once whe...Seruppala adichirukanum...my dad did that once when a guy did a similar thing when I was a kid.
