Wrap Your Arms Around This Problem

‘Free Hugs’ Guy Accused Of Attacking Tourist In Times Square... [More]

Reminds me of a song...

Never let a stranger who is fixed on you violate your space like that in the first place. She should have never accepted a "free hug" in the first place.

There's a difference between "blaming the victim" and observing that some make violations a lot easier than others.

And parents -- think twice about approving of the kiddies being embraced by cartoon mascots.  Even in areas you assume are "controlled." Even at "the happiest place on earth."

Instill the mindset that physical intimacy is earned based on knowledge and trust.
