super awkward situation - what would you do, OOT?

[ThaSaltCracka]

no way I help. I'd ask what his dad looks like and go find him. If the kid is really young, a parent has to be close by.

[El Diablo]

roy,

When you put it that way...

[offTopic]

Get video of him asking...oh, wait.

[AntonHeat]

This is just asking for trouble unless you know the kids parents.

[daryn]

you mean dad tries to attack me and i beat him senseless and his kid gets scarred for life.

[Phil153]

Help the kid. If some guy walks in and gets the wrong idea, that's his problem, not mine. Not afraid to have a verbal smack down with overreacting, paranoid douchebags.

If you're concerned, best way to do it is to get down on a knee with with the kid facing the door and your back half facing the entry, at arm's length, to make it obvious you're helping with his belt and aren't afraid if someone walks in.

You help him obviously. There's no good reason not to.

i mean, say the dad walks in as the guy is undoing his son's pants. dad says "what the hell is going on here?", guy says.. oh your son asked me for help. son backs up story. i mean it's totally believable. does it really make sense that a pedophile is gonna be undoing a kid's pants for sexual purposes in the bathroom of a wedding? i mean he knows people are going to be coming in and out. not like they were together in a stall.

Thats the best case scenario.

The worst case scenario is as follows:

Drunken dad walks in the bathroom, he immediately flips out and starts beating on you.

"Get off my son you [censored]!!"

Him and his buddies beat you senseless until the police arrive.

He tells the judge he saw you performing oral sex on his son. The kid is too frightened to tell the truth. The DA and dad coach/trick the kid to corroborate with the dads story.

Your friends and family all think you are a monster.

You're sentenced to 15 years in prison. The inmates all know what you did.

"You like little boys do you? I have a couple of boys at home you sick [censored]! Let me show you what it feels like!!"

You get savagely beaten and or raped at least once a week for the next ten years. Nobody cares.

When you get out you have to register as a sex offender. You can't find work. You can barely sustain yourself. The cheapest apartment for rent is next door to a school. You move in and make the 6 O'clock news the next night. You're constantly pestered by the neighbors.

You're out at a local bar one night drinking away your troubles. The kid is there and recognizes you. He doesn't remember anymore what happened in the bathroom that fateful night. He now believes you actually molested him.

He follows you out of the bar that night and when you get close to the trees he hits you over the head with a club, drags you into the woods and trys to castrate you with a dull butter knife, luckily you have a bat .
