My four-year-old and I stopped to check on someone who was getting arrested today.

She had made it clear that she did want help, and I checked on with my kid as well before approaching.

The police officer tried to tell me off. "Do you think this is the kind of thing you want your kid to see? Do you think this is good parenting?"

Yeah, actually! If we see something happening that seems wrong, I want my kid to see me doing something about it!
