| he sounds creepy, I work for a dentist and parents come back with the child and they do the talking for the child. I try to speak to the child asking questions like do your teeth hurt, do you brush your teeth etc. I don't take offense if they don't talk. I always hope for a bye bye from them when were done though. he really sounds creepy!!

| As someone who used to work in retail, I used to say hi to all the cute little kids and have conversations with them and I don't believe it's wrong of me to do so. It's being friendly. I would have been offended myself if someone snapped that their child shouldn't talk to me cause I mean no harm, I wouldn't have proceeded with an argument though. He should have dropped it.

| Saying hello is one thing but 'you look pretty' is going to far. There are too many sex offenders out there! If we, as parents, don't protect our kids, who will? I would have definitely talked to the manager.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I can see your side definiatly. One of my twins i have to be really careful with bc she will talk and want to be friends with any one. I have tried so hard to teach her not to talk to strangers, but she thinks everyone is nice and that the world is like Candyland. My other twin on the other hand is very shy and wont speak to anyone unless she has known them for about a week! Each mother has their own way of teaching their children and that should be respected weather or not someone else agrees. you delivered them and care for them so you are the one who sets their boundries. I think it was disrespectful that he didnt stop when you asked him to! In any situation that is wrong |

| I understand a friendly hello, if your daughter chose not to speak, then this store employee should have just shut up and done his job. In a business establishment I am not obligated to speak to those who serve me other than is necessary for the worker to perform his/her duties. No doubt about it - I would have spoken to the manager AND I would consider trading with a different store. With that said, I am a gargarious, friendly person who thinks nothing of starting conversations with complete strangers. It isn't outside my mode of operation to compliment people on their hair, clothes, and in one case I told this complete stranger (male) what georgeous legs he had -- just a statement of FACT, no flirting. |

| I never raised my boys to be outgoing because unfortunately there are some pedophiles and others who might harm them. I never forced them to say hi or perform like I have seen some parents do. I have been in places where little children will talk to you and sit by you and share personal info and the parent is like a rugrat parent awol. The register employee was RUDE! not your daughter. Better to be safe than sorry. |

| i totally see what you are saying but IMO i dont think there is anything wrong with telling a little girl she is pretty... that is a compliment.. and she can do what she wants with it.. i know when i was little and i stranger told my mom that i was pretty or something id be happy.. i didnt respond but it wasnt creepy.. at my last job id tell little girls who looked all dressed up how pretty they look and little boys they looked cute/handsome! sometimes they responded "thank u" and sometimes they would just shy away and their moms would say "thank u"... i know from all the news media blowing up child predators but i dont think someone complimenting a little girl is going too far.. maybe just trying to put a smile on their face |
