> If I were ever to find a child in distress somewhere in public I would never ever try to help it in case someone caught me alone with a kid I don't know. If I see kids walking on the street I immediately change direction just to not look like I follow their path. I just can’t.

You seem abnormally paranoid about this

No he's not paranoid but just reasonably cautious. Stranger danger propaganda made damn sure that all men alone are considered sexual predators first, human second. And it just needs one self-important karen screaming pedophile in the streets to potentially ruin your life. Why would you risk that to help a child that's not your responsibility?
