Once had a child follow me down the street in the dark crying out "Daddy Daddy" I turned around and told them "i'm not your Daddy" raced home tell my wife what happened so she could go and find child and take them back to what ever house they wandered out of. That was shit.

Has anyone actually heard of a case where a man went to help a child and then got accused of being a paedophile? Sounds like paranoia to me.
-
Google it there are several examples between some horrific stories. My wife understood it.

-
I have and couldn’t find any. Even if someone is initially accused by some distraught parent nothing would come of it, the police wouldn’t have anything to deal with.
-
Yes because being accused/investigated is absolutely fine. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=man+accused+of+being+pedophile+innocent&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari … Thanks for your input.

None of those involve the scenario being discussed. None involve lost children being helped by men. I’ll say it again, it’s paranoia.

I was advised that if I found a lost child as a man to immediately ring the police to identify myself and the situation so my motives could be recorded before anybody thought I was acting suspiciously.

11 year old boy fell heavily off his bike in supermarket carpark, didn’t move & was crying so I went to help. Several men in close proximity didn’t feel able to get involved. After my wife said I needed to be careful & what would I have done if it was a girl? I have a daughter..!

Had a similar thing happen. Kid fell off his bike in our road - it was a nice day, he was being silly with friends, I was washing my car - he cracked his head open, lots of blood, crying. Friends ran. I talked to him, calmed him, got him to his feet and we walked to his house.
-
I pushed his bike and he hobbled. His dad answers the door, ready to rip me a new one... kid says “I fell off my bike and this man helped me up,” before bursting into tears. My girlfriend said “what if that was a girl? You need to be careful.” Er, I’d do exactly the same?

I’ve totally taken for granted being able to be warm/ friendly/ loving/ smiley/ chatty to anyone i chose - including strangers and kids - without suspicion or judgement. This thread is making me seriously appreciate being a woman, and realise how important feminism is for MEN TOO
-
That's the thing, most social issues that affect men are as a result of patriarchal ideas. Feminism benefits everybody. Examples are bias in custody hearings, difficulty in expressing emotions and getting help with mental health, the pressure to earn and provide for a family etc.

i recently went to California to meet my gf's family, consisted of her sister and her 3 kids, between 2-12. i sat down with her sis after the week, thanking her for trusting me with her family after just meeting me. i was in tears by the end of the conversation. i was accepted
-
and just to help paint the picture, i came from another country, was meeting my GF for the first time after having a slow burning long distance relationship, and i have been described as "mountain man" due to my large beard and general Lumberjack look.

This! Plus when walking near a lone woman I try to get some distance between us, make sure not to look "suspicious" and try to cross over, otherwise she/people will think I'm an attacker. This one could just be my anxiety though...
