    So it was a toddler. I really can't see what you're so angry about TBH. And what exactly would everyone have seen that is so outrageous? Her bare botty? The fact that you find that disturbing speaks volumes.

    If he'd taken her into the mens toilets and you'd seen them coming out would you have been as outraged that she was subjected to seeing strange mens penises when she walked past the urinal.

    Was it a pay and display type car park - if he would have wanted to use the toilets in the store, then he would have needed to queue up and buy a ticket, return to the car, place it inside, then take her to the toilet, by which time it could have been too late.

    However, having children myself, I have found myself in this situation, but have always been discrete - nipping off to the side of the car park or between two 4x4s, certainly somewhere less prominent and visible.

    Also, until very recently, I was unaware that many shops had public toilets - its not the sort of thing chaps notice too much as we go before we leave and spend the minimum time possible in the shops so do not need to use the facilities. This chap probably was unaware that Tescos had toilets.

    We came out of Tesco walked alittle bit and some guy is stood (making no effort what so ever to be subtle )letting his daughter go to the toilet.!!!!
    You couldnt miss it anyone coming out of the shop would have seen it.
    What the hells the matter with people :mad:
    Sorry just had to vent

    I fail to see your vent - small child needed toilet, parent enabled them to go to the toilet. Would you rather them drag the child to the toilet and wetting themselves on the way?

    I will make my post CLEARER i am disgusted with the guy who thought it was ok for his child to be exposed in full view of EVERYONE who went past (and there were alot of people going past as he was not far from the shop and it was a direct path to the entrance to Tesco.

    I have no problem with a child going to the toilet in a discreet way this wasnt.!!!!!!


    I guess some on here are the same people who would deem it fine for their children to be naked on the beach because hey thats fine wheres the harm in that :rotfl:

    None at all actually, other than the risk of exposure to UV rays.

    There are far too many people who have become obsessed and assume children are all being preyed upon. They are not. And the shame should be felt by those who do the preying.

    I get what you are sayingand i agree up to a point BUT when you have had close encounters with child abuse you dont feel its obsessive and it most certainly doesnt feel like its as rare as some people would like to think.:(

    You need to get some perspective, your reaction is completely over the top. Is a p*edophile likely to be camped out in the car park waiting for this to happen? No, they are more likely to be waiting in the toilets or in a swimming pool changing rooms.
