Today I was at the DHS office, waiting to drop off some paperwork for my Medicaid stuff. A young, large black guy sat a chair away from me. I didn’t think anything of it, at first. I was reading the news on my phone, and enjoying watching a cute little girl be chased around by her father. The guy next to me never took his eyes off the girl, but she was being cute and there’s not much to do while waiting, so I didn’t think much of it.
A few minutes later, the guy started calling the little girl over, and reaching for her as she ran by. I just assumed he knew the couple, but I was wrong. The dad started giving him angry looks. A bit later, he overheard her name, so he started calling her over by her name. Next, he started asking her if she wanted to go outside and play. He finally asked the parents if he could take her outside, which was met with a definative “NO!”
At that point, I was called to the window, glad to be away from that guy. Was I sitting next to a pedophile?!
