AIBU to feel a little suspicious , FB related .

[Penvelopesnightie]

On my FB I have seen a distant relative of mine and he's in photos taken by he's female partner at a children's party . Him and partner have no children of their own .He is pictured on he's own with the children in every photo . I wonder if I'm being unreasonable to think he's actually quite creepy and why is he in a room without any adults present , just him and he's partner taking photos . Obviously the children's parents have seen these photos on FB and there are no comments made .

[OnionKnight]

Oh fuck off OP.

[Sparklesilverglitter]

Wtf?

There could be any number of reason why they don't have there own children. For 1 maybe they aren't fortunate enough to be able to have there own but does that mean because he's male he can't like children?

What the fuck is the world coming too

It's because of people like you I am always wary of even approaching a child if they look lost

[pasturesgreen]

Oh ffs! What a disturbing attitude to have, OP.

[MiddleClassProblem]

He's a distant relative. For all you know he has a close relationship with these kids and their families. You are just seeing a picture of someone you sort of know with kids and deciding what you like from it.

[thisisafakename]

But it's just weird that they are all of just him and children and no one else enjoying party

Why don't you spit it out and say what you really think? Why precisely do you think it is weird? Are you saying that you think he has asked his partner to take pictures of just him with the children because he is sexually attracted to them?

Do you know the children in the photo? How do you know that they are not his godchildren or children of a close friend that he is also close to? Rather than just some random kids he wanted to perv over (and put the photos on a public forum). How can you be sure there are no adults in the room? Can you see behind the person taking the picture?

Finally, is your relative dressed as a clown in any of the pictures?

[Penvelopesnightie]

No not a clown , but that would be even more alarming .

Dh once saw a little boy fall over in a park (where he was walking his dog on the lead) went over to said little boy, got him onto his feet and asked where his mum was, mum was on her phone on the bench, dh took little boys hand and walked over to the boys mum.
Boys mum went nuts calling DH all sorts.
theres loads of general anxiety around men (and I'll never know if that woman is A- just a dick B- suffers from paranoia or C- had a horrible personal experience) either way I find it all extremely sad. DH will no longer go near a child. If DH sees what he suspects is a lost or hurt child he will not approach or help unless I am with him and even then he'd sooner send me over alone... people like you don't help at all OP.
Cut this bloke out of your life, go on, do him a favor..

I think the OP's attitude will be one of the last bastions of sexism.

YABU.

[Cheesecakeiloveyou45]

What the fuck are you suspicious of?
A couple that don't have there own children, taking pictures of them (him) with a child, because you have to have your own child to like them yes?

If it was the women in the photo with the child, would you of posted this?

I am a Mum of 4 and I even I am always cautious of approaching children even if I see them looking a bit lost, because there is always some fuckwit like you

[Rockingaround]

What do you think exactly is weird? can you spell it out?, as I don't get it. Has something happened in the past to make you have such a dismal opinion of him?

[Tarttlet]

"I've been mulling it over all day"

With the greatest respect, OP, you need to get a life.

[mycatstares]

Have you logged this information with 101?

[phillipp]

didn't know what to think .

Why do you need someone to tell you what to think? Why is there anything else to think apart from 'oh there is Photo of 'relative' at a party'

[ItShouldHaveBeenJess]

More concerning is your attitude, OP. You assume a male adult at a children's' party is a potential paedophile? Why? Explain.

[thisisafakename]

No not a clown , but that would be even more alarming

Thanks, OP. I was being sarky. I thought with the hysteria about clowns happening at the moment, there might be a chance that he was a pedo AND a clown. Imagine that.

Unless you are going to dripfeed that he has been potentially abusive in the past, you really need to get a life and examine what's wrong in your head to make you suspicious when a childless man appears in a photo with a child. You do realise that most pedos are parents themselves, right?

[TheCatsMother99]

This has got to be a joke

[leaveittothediva]

Well unless you know something about him that we don't know, why call him creepy.?. Just because himself and his partner don't have children, doesn't mean that they can't be around children. Your being really over the top about this. Maybe you see couples without children as odd.

[Waltermittythesequel]

You're so right to be suspicious.

Everyone knows child abusers get their wives to photograph them with children then plaster the photos all over social media.

It's one of their clever ways to stay inconspicuous.

And it's 'his' own not 'he's' own.

[jbee664]

so pre kids yourself OP, did you ever take a pic of your OH holding one of your friends kids? Is he dodgy?

[FairyDogMother11]

I'm in loads of photos with different kids on Facebook and I don't have any of my own. It so happens that a lot of my friends do have children and I like to take pictures. I also babysit for them sometimes and have no certificates to say I am qualified. I suppose that makes me some kind of deviant...

[Crystal15]

Wow that is a massively unreasonable reaction to a photo. You may have your personal reasons for being paranoid but you shouldn't jump to conclusions. Before I had my children I was still invited to parties. I love kids, fussed over them and got plenty of pics.

[HarryPottersMagicWand]

Quick. Call the police!

Who knows what other sinister thing he will do next. He may stand near a child in a shop or walk past a school.

[GourdExpert]

There's 500 photos and those 5 are on his FB because those are the only 5 that have him in it. Fix your autocorrect, it keeps typing "he's" instead of "his"
