Rachel Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Ironically after this thread, where I posted that my son uses the bathroom alone, a man was arrested at our local library. He was filming people in the men's bathroom with a cellphone camera. This is a library we visit frequently and my son uses that bathroom on his own. Ok, so that man has been banned from the local libraries (I'm not sure how they enforce it) so I'm not concerned about him specifically. What would you coach your son to do if someone was trying to film him using the bathroom? I guess technically this would apply to girls as well. I'm not sure what I would have done, maybe yelled the person to stop. I asked this question at the end of the bathroom thread but it probably needs its own thread. How would you coach your child to handle a weird situation in a public bathroom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Just finish your business ASAP and leave and tell a trusted adult. If there was fear of being touched or if another child was being bothered, holler nice and loud while running out of the bathroom. I'm not too worried about surreptitious photography of young kids in a public place like that. Of course it is illegal and gross and probably done for the purpose of selling kiddy porn, none of which is OK, but it is not dangerous to the kids being photographed. I'm glad someone caught the SOB so he hopefully won't have a chance to do something worse to a kid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
