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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the grocery with my 4 year-old daughter. She needed me to tie one of her shoes so I bent down. When I was done, I tickled her under the armpit, and she screamed, "Don't touch me there!" Everyone in the store turned to stare. FML
Today, at the mall, I ran into a lost, crying little girl. It was my best friend's daughter. She recognized and clung on to me. As I called her dad, some nosy lady snatched her from me and caused a scene, screaming, "KIDNAPPER!" As I got apprehended, her claim was she heard me say, "If you still want to see her…" FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, my daughter and I went to the mall. While we were looking for clothes, she walked away from me and touched a man on the arm and smiled and said "Hi!" The man freaked out and screamed at me for letting that "thing" in public and to "wear a condom next time." 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, I was at the mall, I saw a girl crying that her ice cream had fallen on the floor. Feeling generous, I bought her a new one. She threw it on the ground, laughed, and came over to her mom and told that I was bothering her, so the mom called security. FML
Today, I noticed a young child wandering out onto a busy street. I managed to grab his arm just as he stepped off the sidewalk and yank him away from almost certain death. My reward was his mother, who was on her cell phone the whole time, screaming at me for touching her child. FML
Today, I tripped getting on an escalator and instinctively grabbed the nearest person to steady myself. That person was a toddler. The mom screamed, I fell anyway, and the toddler just stared at me like I’d ruined his whole week. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my mom. She was pissing me off, so I started screaming at her and causing a scene. I ended up falling all the way down the up escalator. Everyone saw and people clapped. 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

The little kid should have screamed, "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!"

I would have yelled at the bitch."Fine, next time I'll let your kid fall. Have fun paying for cosmetic surgery when they bust their permanent teeth on the floor!"

You do not touch other people's children for any reason except that they're about to be severely injured. Falling over in the store does not it into this category. It seems wrong not to intervene, but there are thousands of people just like this woman that will not only embarrass you for trying to help with a child they weren't watching, but will even take legal action and try to make it seem like any injury they may have sustained was directly related to your involvement.

We actually don't know if the child could be severely injured. My brother tripped and broke his arm (and other places) while my sister just had a scrape when she was in the same situation. You can't really tell the future. :/

That's why people don't help another anymore because of bullshit like this. People will sue you, if they get hurt by you helping them in an emergency situation. Most people will care about themselves and their wallet before a life, weather its a animal or a person. It could be me just being angry, and I know there are people who will sacrafice their lives for one another, but look at 911 where all those people who tried to put the city back together, they faced a up hill battle for 10 fucken years just to get help from the government to cover the medical bills. Look the the HMO, they can deny anyone and for any reason they like if they're not making money off of you, that's before Obama care, now every is pissed that they're HMO is getting ****** up look up that facts, if don't like it make a better fucken suggestion, but no complain and more complain. Adopt the canadian health care system, have you heard they complain about their medical bills? Watch Micheal moore's Sicko documentary

#37- Yes, they can be yelled at. But then the OP would have had the chance to yell back at the mother for letting her wild bratty snotty kid run up & down the aisles.
