No, you know whats over the type? Assuming that a man travelling with a underage girl is a sexual pervert, even after he shows you pictures of them on facebook and proves that they have a father/daughter relationship, the stupid employee goes and calls the cops anyway on him. Now, THAT is over the top.

Their job is to rent hotel rooms.

It is awful. But we hear about human trafficking all the time and to be on the lookout for older men and young girls. It can be hard to know what to do.

Yep, take it to the next step of "nancytopia". Of course the truck driver that sees them driving down the road should call the cops suspecting he could be a pedo with her in his car. The guy at the gas station, the lady at the diner....in short any time a man goes anywhere with his daughter he should expect 4-5 police interviews along the way each day because it's worth it!
Threadwinner.

Ouchie, especially with the widower angle.....makes for continued GREAT press if this doesn't settle quickly out of court.
it should be more like man ends up owning travellodge, and fires the entire staff and shut down the property.

It really has noting to do with feminists.

It is more a product of the "stranger danger" movement that started in the 80's. Don't trust anyone you don't know, especially men. Beware of vans and anyone offering candy.

It is really unfortunate. Most men, like most human beings in general, are good people and aren't looking to harm children.

What's insane is that a story first appears in The Sun, which is like a tabloid in the U.K., and we're all talking about it.

Where does it say she was put in a separate room? Didn't happen. A new clerk in training overreacted and called the police. Maybe the man was acting suspiciously. Who knows? The cops showed up and left. Period. He wasn't hassled or arrested. End of story. In fact, you should wonder why this was even news with everything that's happening in today's world. Why did the man call the newspapers? Look at all the pictures he posted. It looks as if he is trying to build a case for a lawsuit.

In the US, the police could not have questioned the girl without parents' permission or an order from a judge.
