Man, one time I took my kid to a park playground and then another group just drops off like six kids and nopes out to a picnic shelter away away from the park so now I'm the only adult in a playground full of kids.

So was very uncomfortable, then one of the little girls gets scared and cries for help because she's panicking and can't calm down enough to get out of the spinny thing she is in, she thinks she is stuck.

So nervous helping out this stranger kid, thinking some one was going to assume something. Picked her up and put her on the ground without incident, but was annoyed I basically became defacto babysitter and afraid I would be seen as a creep.
