I just did a POLL about this, but now I think that I want to ask a far more IN DEPTH question.
Driving to work this morning, as I pass the bus stop for the local high school, a young lady...alone at the bus stop, bends over..FAR over, revealing her either bare buttocks or perhaps she was wearing a tiny thong (I was driving, and TRYING to keep my eyes on the road). She looked over her shoulder and grinned, so I KNOW this was a "show". When I stopped for the light, half a block up, I saw her repeat this two other times for male drivers.
My only thought was "someone is going to end up stopping and she is going to get far more negative attention then she wants with this little game". Of course, had I dared stop and tell her what she was doing was really stupid, I would have probably been the one in trouble....so I just drove on.
Now I feel somewhat guilty for not doing anything. If this girl ends up in trouble (kidnapped, raped), on the news, I will always wonder, as a parent, if I SHOULD have maybe even called 911 and reported her. Terrible that we have such dilemmas thrown at us.
SO....my very serious question. What would YOU do in these kinds of situations? Sadly, early in the morning, on the way to work, before coffee, my brain was WAY too slow. Only now, an hour and a half later, am I processing what I SHOULD have done.
Your take, when you see a young person doing something like this....or anything really stupid????
