I’m glad you’ve answered this issue and that’s good enough for me.
Phase3,
Sorry if I offended you but I do not offer the benefit of the doubt to someone I do not know. If Heather would have made reference to you speaking on her behalf, I would have been fine with the whole thing. I now accept your position and advice on her situation.
Chrome,
I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think I was out of bounds. There are plenty of people to be leery of in this world. I do not think it responsible to let the other person put me in the position of trusting them first. If they come to me, then it is on their shoulders to offer proof of who they are. And until they do so, I will be very suspicious. I handle my daily affairs in this way too. There are just too many con artists, child molesters and online predators out there.
I recall last week or so some talk about some of the ladies her as young mothers and how strangers came up and picked up their child. I am not a paranoid person, don’t feel the need to always lock my car or house and place trust in those I know. But abductions do happen and once it hits you, the “I shoulda” guilt will never leave. So I don’t err on the side of this type of risk one iota. This matter with Phase3 struck me as being similar.
