Shoot, this kind of “loving” well might have been inappropriate in public, but how do you tell where fond play leaves off and molestation begins? I hope they don’t try to manipulate the girl into telling tall tales. Now if he’s been toying sexually with her privates that’s another story. But a nine year old girl will have the same kind of chest that a boy of that age will. Big breasts don’t develop until puberty.

wtf?

was he being affectionate with his daughter or molesting her?

i would absolutely FREAK OUT if some busybody know it all (probably a libtard) were to see me hug or kiss my little angels and DEMAND to speak with them alone- they would be terrified and I would NOT be a happy camper...

I hope it is innocent and he SUES THE HELL out of everyone involved - and wins

starting with the busybodies

I am not rushing to judgement on this one. Petting your own child’s hair isn’t a crime, neither is kissing her on the lips. These are innocent expressions of affection most of the time. The fondling, if true would implicate him as a molester, but there may be something else going on here. This doesn’t add up. Child molesters are usually not that brazen in public.

It seems the guy recently had a divorce. Is there something to that? Who are these ladies making the accusations?

I have not convicted the guy until more facts come to light.

Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Why is every car chase in California, and every pedophile in Florida.

We also have an assortment of other types of crackpots here. Every time there's a totally crazy story I check to see if it's dateline Florida - usually is...

I almost got stuck taking my daughter to a Selena Gomez concert this week, but fortunately, she was already scheduled to go to camp. Whew!

I pray truth prevails.

As do I.
Father and daughter will be separated, the daughter turned over to Child Protective Services and the father taken to jail. What if police and social workers convince the little girl she really was molested?

Good advice!! My husband and I did this right after our daughter was born and we were shocked at how many and how close they were. I hope you tell your friends and relatives to do the same thing you did and check that registry out. One good thing our local public school district did was to provide a link to the state’s sex-offender data base from the district’s website.

You’re a gator? Cool. I live in the county that arrested 8 senior citizens for playing poker in a trailer park recreation center... Some time back a freeper made a list of some of the crazy things that happened in Florida. When he was done I conceded he was right - lots of nuts here....

Rubbing back, playing with hair, ok. Kissing on neck and lips? Uhhhh....

Fondling her chest and below the waist? Creepy!

Most people don’t get involved so it had to be pretty obvious. Molesters are crazy and many think their behavior is perfectly normal so I can see why it happened in public.

Kissing on the lips is a little too familiar at any age. A forehead or cheek is more parental. Sounds fishy to me, but of course, innocent until proven guilty!

Probably not. I try not to go more than 2 blocks away from campus. Lots of crazy people “hangin’” in Bo Diddley Square. My trip from Gainesville to Jacksonville reminds me why I’m working so hard in school.

It must be the strong sun rays or something similar. Florida is loaded with at least 500 episodes of COPS.

Agreed. This does not sound like normal father affection to me either.
My husband is also very affectionate with our girls. However, it's pats to the head or back, picking them up when he comes home from work, ect.

If some guy is caressing his daughter, kissing her neck and rubbing her all over......YUK. I would have reported him too.
Sorry guys, it doesn't matter if you really didn't mean anything by it. It's creepy and inappropriate.

I agree. Kissing (was it a peck or a slurp and rubbing and touching the chest area is creepy and not normal.
