Oh hush. You don't have kids fool.
Hey she has a parental right to take a bad decision like sending a small boy into the mens room alone. But it's still a bad decision.
As childless adult male, if I were in the same restroom I would feel extremely uncomfortable with that scenario.

Actually, he's right. Even people who don't have kids know this common sense. Kids get kidnapped, molested, etc. right in the bathroom. Some places have windows in the bathrooms. I know Target doesn't, but it is still not safe.

so, someone is a b!tch for stepping up and saying something about a situation that they feel is dangerous?
if someone felt my kid was in a dangerous situation, I'd want them to say something.

I recently started allowing my son to use the public men's room. He turned 19 in March. 
Seriously, I can't remember at what age I started allowing him to go there alone, but he was older than 4. I'm thinking it was about 10, but I still waited just outside the door. If possible, I waited until the bathroom was empty before sending him in and stood outside until he came out. There were a few men that looked at me funny standing just outside the door, but I always smiled and said my son is in there. Several times they offered to wait until he came back out before entering which I thought was nice.

I agree. Kind of like knowing your neighbors are beating their children but you would keep your mouth shut? Only an idiot would let a small child go to a public bathroom alone in todays crazy azzed world. The mother should be slapped up along side of her hard head.

Kids are more likely to be molested at home, so you better not let them go to the bathroom at home.
Kids get molested at school. Better not let them go to school.
And keep them away from church. We all know kids get molested at church.
Lock them up in a bubble until they are 25. It's the only safe thing to do.

AND...
95 percent of molested children know their perpetrators

I do not let mine go by themselves unless it is one bathroom obviously. 4 is way to young but would never say anything to someone else.

Well geesh...using that logic only an idiot would send their child to school, involve them in sporting activities, send them to day care,etc since THOSE are the types of places were molestation is most likely to occur.

The fact is it probably was not the wisest decision to send a young child into a restroom alone but she was hardly feeding her child to the wolves so to speak.

My son gets out of his bubble in December!!! 
Things are different (not necessarily in a good way) from when my son was at that age. Myself, I probably wouldn't have said anything. On the other hand, I've been in the restroom where there have been "little boys" that have been brought into the Ladie's room and I felt awkward because I thought they were definitely old enough to go to the Men's room alone and shouldn't be in the Ladie's room. Either way, it's a tough call and I feel for parent's these days!

The mother knows her child. If a mother teaches her child about those situations and what do to if something was to happen, then it is her decision to say wether or not her child is capable of using the restroom alone. Now if someone decided to say something, then she could just take the advice and roll with it, no need to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

So I guess when Daddy is "sleeping" with little Sally next door that's their business and you just keep out of it.
