Strange event while waiting to buy popcorn at the movie tonight.

I usually come on and just read here when I am bored at work, but today something happened. As I was writing it as a blog entry, I still feel compelled to ask what I should have done. I thought I would post here to get people?s idea. Likewise I feel it?s too late and felt strangely compelled to act even though part me felt have it would be baseless.

Cut and paste form my entry:

While I was waiting to purchase my popcorn and Coke Zero at the concession stand, I noticed the man in front of me. While he was making his purchase one of his hand was touching a child that looked extremely wrong. I was stunned for a bit as the way he held her didn?t seemed like one would do with a child. He looked old enough to be her father, so I wasn?t sure what was transpiring in front of me. I mean He was holding her in the way that suggested he was her BF. And then the extremely out of place part was after he held her at the shoulder for a bit his hand glided from the shoulder to her butt, and this all happened right while completing their concession purchase . As strange as the act, it would be completely natural if she looked much older. And with the age these day on how children seem to grow up quicker then they appear she doesn?t look pass elementary school and definitely not junior high and the guy clearly look like he is at least in his late twenties or early thirties. At first I thought is this guy taking his kid out to a movie and is too preoccupied with a purchase that he is mistaking his kid for his wife/gf. But now I don?t think that would be the most likely case. And contrary to father/daughter argument, while walking to the theater I noticed the two acting in a manner that dictated a relationship resemble more of an intimate relationship then a plutonic relationship.
Now If I knew for sure he was a child molester, I would have tackled him to ground. But seriously I don?t know. Now I am not sure if my inaction was correct or I should have step in and done something more than just blog. And I just don?t know . . .


If this is inappropriate feel free to ban me or close the thread...

Ask any questions and I will answer them.

Any comment or advice is greatly appreciated.



Made some edit on grammar.

You should have gotten regular Coke instead, as that fake sweetener stuff tastes like crap and gives you cancer.;)

Honestly, had I know her age for a fact I don?t think I would have posted even if he was a child molester. I would have tried to physically restrain him while I got my friend to call the police or have the staff at the concession stand call the police.
I wouldn?t know? but she looked like no more than junior high.
Maybe she has an aging defect and that?s why she looks so young, I guess I should mind my business. But my gut feeling tells me otherwise.
And I do regret not thinking quick enough to pull my iphone to snap a picture.

Err... I meant take a picture of him placing his hand on her ass,
then decide if I should try to restrain him or not,
or maybe just ask him what?s going on. ....
regret regret regret....

The little girl was not jail bait if you think I meant snapping a picture of her.

It think if you change the first line to "I never thought this would happen to me but..." and change some of the details, you might be able to get this published somewhere. I suggest adding details on the buxom lady at the register and the sultry way she added butter to your popcorn.

As for your blog. If you are writing that drivel to work on your writing, fine. If you expect people to care that you order coke zero at the movie theater, you need to dial down the emo a bit.

when you got your Coke Zero, were you courteous enough to restock their supply?
