The danger part has already been covered in the thread.

I can see how innocent people not seeing this as a dangerous situation, but its simply not the case.

Why don't you see it as a dangerous situation? I wouldn't if he dropped it but he just kept pushing and his responses were really creepy. Its not like kids that age don't murder,stalk and rape.

And its unsafe for the kid. What if he said that to some woman with a guy there who had anger issues?
What if the woman herself had anger issues and attacked him with mace instead of just reporting it?
Was he looking for females he could follow to dressing rooms and film over the door?

So many possibilities.

It's flattering, maybe I'll throw a joke in, but yeah, I obviously leave the situation immediately

You have to go full Mom and say something like, "Put it away, Junior, before I call your mother." Squash it.

You left out a lot of possibilities.

He could be a serial killer
He could be an Al-Queda terrorist
He could be a sex-freak alien

Let's be somewhat realistic.

There's not a sliver of evidence to support any of your what if scenarios

Already been said before but there is not evidence to support against it. You are just assuming he is innocent because?(why?)


There is evidence that this child has boundary issues and will engage in high risk impulsive and aggressive sexual toned behavior. People that act like that (adult or child) should not be dismissed as a non-threat but seen as a possible threat and handled as such.

Because the VAST majority of human males are not any of the things that you listed above. That's where the assumption should start.

Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the chance that this kid was any type of actual threat?

And your answer is to locate the nearest square badge and tattle on him?!

Just because filihok can't recognize the signs doesn't mean they aren't there. The kid's behavior was definitely outside the norm, even for horny teenagers.

I am only looking at this one individual.
It is absolutely naive to think just because MOST don't do something, no one will. An individual who is already doing something most don't do, should be seen as a possible threat.

The chance of a juvie being a threat is not as high statistically as an adult but doesn't mean the threat is zero. Why doesn't everyone get that? Seriously.

I can think of quite a few news stories that involved teen violence. They didn't see it coming either because they assumed they were safe.
