How do children know who to trust?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

After work, I went to the restaurant today and when I was standing in the line, waiting to order something, suddenly a little girl ran to me and hugged me really tight.

At that time I did not recognize who she was and I was wondering for a moment maybe that’s someone I know, but then I figured out that I didn’t know her.

The girls Classmate’s father was there as well and he asked me if I knew where the little girl’s father was,

I told him that I did not even know the child so then we asked the others and found out that the child’s father has just left for buying something in a different shop and he would probably be back in five or 10 minutes and all this time this girl was standing by my side and hugging my leg, of course, I hugged her back and I tried to make her feel protected but I just wonder why would she choose me out of all the people who are there,

Later on, after her father came back I ordered ice cream for her and sent it to their table.

Children by nature are very trustworthy of everybody.

Parents are the ones that have to teach them that this world is trash and full of evil and wicked people and to stay away from strangers which apparently the mom or dad of that child didn't teach their kid.

It's actually only a dangerous place where it is most diverse. Just Google the stats the trend is easy to see. Brazil vs China. Finland vs. Turkey.

@MyOwnMan2: Statistics don't always tell the whole truth especially when it comes to morality.

Every country has ish people in it so saying to Google Brazil vs China, Finland vs Turkey means nothing.

If that little girl just happened to stumble upon the wrong person she would just be another victim of a potential crime.

I have heard that little kids can sense who is trustworthy. I don't know how reliable this is

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

That's not true at all. Little kids are extremely naive and can be fool easily.

Parents have to teach them from very early on to not be trusting otherwise little kids will just trust you if you don't look at them mean or yell at them.

pretty sure they can't or we wouldn't have paedos

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Smashingdoozy]

They generally just don't. Its why kids are so easy to kidnap. They're hopefully taught to trust certain people to a certain extent. If you need help in a store as an employee or a friendly face but never leave the store with them etc.

You are so sweet, lucky for you that she didn’t meet a bad person

[Sparkie460]

It's like kids have an extra sense. They can tell who is a safe person to trust. 99% of the time they go to the women.

[love_conquers_lust]

You look like mommy.

Kids trust pretty ladies. They’re leery of men. Although I have seen kids innocently wander into the presence of strangers mistaking them for their parents and crying when they realize it.

[Still-alive]

Not sure but it does make me feel special when kids trust me or i seem to get them to not be shy with me. :D

[Still-alive]

You should feel special the little girl hugged you like that. its an honor really

[ChefPapiChulo]

i didn't read your diary cause it's probably stupid. but kids don't know who to trust, they're kids. their brains aren't fully developed.

[Luopio27]

You may remind her of someone she knows or you just look like a sister or a mother figure for her!

[msc545]

This kind of behavior in children is a diagnostic sign for child abuse.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

How could I help?

[Yellovv]

Because kids are Angel and they can feel right person to trust..

[Grond21]

I don't know, but they absolutely can tell.

[Anonymous]
