I'm afraid of interacting with kids and teens. All it takes is one misunderstanding, one malicious lie, and I could be branded with a segregation mark to be hated for and have my opportunities crippled. I don't want to be put to death on top of it all if it happens.
I don't like death sentences.
Just be avoidant and aloof around them like I do. I don't even know how to interact with kids, so it's easy for me. I worked security at a large building open to the public a while back and a lost child situation is the one incident I would have refused to deal with for reasons you describe, and we dealt with batshit insane homeless people on a regular basis. At most I would have gotten a female coworker or supervisor to handle it.
