Today, a little girl wandered into the glass-cleaning area of the pub I work at. It's a dangerous place for a little kid, so I took her hand and asked where her mum was. The kid starts screaming and the mother appears in the doorway shouting "GET AWAY FROM MY BABY!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was in a shopping centre when a little girl was running up and down the aisles. She started to fall over so I put my hand out to catch her. Her mother then ran up to me and screamed about me 'touching her child' so loud that everyone could hear. FML
Today, a kid got his hand stuck inside my store's giant gumball machine. He started crying, and his negligent trainwreck of a mom bitched me out for being "unobservant." I'd been mopping up the mess she'd made after she'd spilled an open can of beer all over the floor. FML
Today, at my job working retail, I had just finished cleaning and straightening a whole aisle. This kid watched me do the whole thing. When I was done, he stuck his arm out, and ran it down the whole shelf, knocking everything off it. His mother just grabbed his hand and walked away. FML
Today, whilst babysitting, I broke a glass. I explained to the kid that it was very important not to walk barefoot around where it had happened, because of the tiny bits of glass. He jumped back, scared, and while doing so tripped. I rushed to help him and ran through the broken glass. Barefoot. FML
Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Today, I spent an hour setting up a delicate display stand at work. Not five minutes later, a woman barged in with her little kid, who immediately went up to the display and tipped the whole thing over. When I called attention to the mother, she just scoffed, "Isn't this your job?" and left. FML
Today, I saw a little boy wandering in the supermarket looking lost and distraught. I gently put my hand on his shoulder and said, “Hey buddy, where’s your mommy?” He screamed, “STRANGER DANGER!” and kicked me in the shin. His actual mom wandered over from the cheese section, gave me a dirty look, and walked off. FML.
Today, I tripped over a kid at work. She was sitting on the floor with her legs sticking out into the walkway. Her mom caused a scene, accusing me of doing it on purpose. FML
Today, a customer at the restaurant where I work reduced me to tears by screaming at me, as I nearly knocked out his 2-year-old with the kitchen door, after he let the little boy play on the floor behind it. Apparently, it's my fault I can't see through solid wood. FML

If she kept an eye on her child these situations could be avoided.

I hate it when parents try to pin their irresponsibility on people who try to steer their children in the right direction. I want to punch that mother so bad...

The kid was wandering where she wasn't supposed to be and the mother wasn't watching her. OP didn't do anything wrong. If the mother was so concerned about her kid she should have been watching her.... like a good parent.

They say mum in other countries. Not everyone does things the same way as in America.

The paranoia about child-molesters is just getting ridiculous. Men can't be preschool teachers and can rarely get jobs as elementary school teachers. They certainly can't get jobs at day cares. If any man so much as acknowledges that there is a child in the room everyone freaks out and calls him a pervert. Yes, child molestation is a disgusting terrible thing but that doesn't mean that every man you meet is going to be a child molester and/or kidnapper. Some men just like kids and some men, like in this case, are just trying to be helpful or do what's right. I mean, good gosh.

I agree with the fact everyone goes mad when you notice a kid in the room if you a guy because I was working in a over 21 bar and I was at the bar and went "why is there a kid in here" and the room went silent and everyone stared at me. Well exuse me for doing my job and looking for under age people in the bar on my shift
