Letters to the Editor...Mother was too trusting of stranger

Dear editor, RE: Marcia Baker's Feb. 9 letter, "Stranger's kindness leaves mom smiling." Call me jaded, but isn't Ms. Baker just a little too trusting in today's society? Although I have no children, I do have a seven-year-old nephew. If a "nice man" gave him a gingerbread cookie, I would certainly confront him as to his motives. That would come right after I gave my nephew a stern talking to for accepting candy from strangers. What on earth was this woman thinking? It just goes to prove that you need a fishing licence to catch fish, but anyone can have a kid. Unbelievable!
