Accusing someone of treating a child "inappropriately" is tremendously serious business -- all the more when it's reported to the police. Telling your kid to stay the hell away from the creepy guy who lives next door, not leaving your kid home alone or unattended outside, and the like are reasonable and responsible courses of action(and just generally common sense). Potentially ruining someone's life over a blatantly harmless "incident" because you're too overprotective of your kid to think straight is not.

They're liable to be either oppressively overbearing, or so lacking in judgment that their kid ends up turning into an out-of-control monster while they live in blissful ignorance.

tl;dr: I totally get that parents tend to(and probably should) take the "better safe than sorry" reaction when it comes to the welfare of their children, and I'm not condemning them on that fact alone. It's in this particular situation that the parents went way too far over way too little.

So no kids then?

With a name like that how could he possibly go wrong?

I don't have kids, and I still realise that a stranger invading the space of a small child and kissing them on the lips isn't right. How is the act of a stranger kissing a child on the lips not a sexual act?

 

[kottila]

A peck on the lips is not necesserily a sexual act. But when it's a stranger and especially with this guy looks real creepy and suspicious

 

[Darkman M]

Gaf defending a strange grown ass man mouth to mouthing a young child? Sounds about right.

Does anyone know how to check whos using your wi-fi? I'm on a mac, and I've searched but only found solutions for PCs. I guess when I try searching "find out whos on your network mac" it gets mistaken for MAC IDs.

I thought it was the same for most routers, just type 192.168.1.254 in your browser? IP might be a bit diff depending on model, but a quick search of your Router model online should net some results.

What a miserable situation. Kissing the boy on the lips while voluntarily carrying him back to his home in broad daylight is really awkward and weird, but does not warrant going to the police. I hope to god for the kid's sake that this was an isolated incident and that the parents are not actually that pants-on-head retarded.

Mr. Not-Hitler deserves to spend the rest of his life in the looney bin for his response to the incident, and the family by no means deserved to be tormented, but it's still tragic that his apparently fragile psyche was ultimately shattered by the short-sighted, irresponsible, and naive stupidity of two people who had just moved into the neighborhood.

Amazingly, this is the craziest shit in this thread.

Wow that's some fucked up shit.

Yeah, I can't see any viable justification for letting some dude kiss your child on the mouth.

I generally go by dictionaries when looking up the meaning of a word rather then wikipedia...

The heck? My parents didn't even kiss me on the mouth. Why would it be right for a stranger to kiss a kid that isn't even theirs on the mouth?? Dude could have herpies too.

*Weird edit. Fixed to would

It's funny when I first read the story I thought the perv kissed his own kid in the lips. I never got kissed in the lips but I'm ok with it if families do it. But when I found out it was the accusing neighbor's kids I was like hell no, that's totally unacceptable. It is funny how I went from defending the guy to condemning him from just a few more seconds of reading comprehension.

I agree. These guys need to go to pedophile sensitivity training.

Use proper encryption methods, people. Wire your house with Ethernet otherwise.

FYI, EAP/802.1x and WPA is also hackable.

Did you miss the part where he kissed his kid on the lips? It doesn't warrant going to the police? Are you insane?

Maybe you're right, because if I heard some fucking wacko pedophile who kissed my kid on the lips, I wouldn't goto the police, I would go next door and bust his skull open with a fucking Louisville slugger.

Exactly. I kiss my neighborhood's four year old kids on the lips all the time without knowing the parents very well. It's their fucking problem if they're some Puritan Bible-thumpers who can't understand that sometimes a little affection is good for kids. They need it. And they're literally asking for it with their cute little smiles and cute little way they walk. I'm telling you man, four year olds are the perfect age.

So I'm with you. Fuck the rest of GAF that has a problem with mouth-to-mouth lovin' on four year old kids.

P.S. hey have you heard about NAMBLA?
