VOX DAY: Social change has consequences. The post is about British journalists filming children who are told to appear lost in order to see whether passers-by stop to help, and finding that only one out of 616 did.

One comment explains, “THIS is why no man stopped to help these girls.” It links to a few articles about an incident. The first reads,

Barnes & Noble has apologised to a 73-year-old man who was kicked out of one of its stores for browsing the children’s section on his own.

Dr. Omar Amin, from Scottsdale, Arizona, said he was asked to leave after a female shopper told a worker she felt uneasy about his presence.

But the man, who is a world-renowned researcher of infectious diseases, said he was buying books for his two grandchildren.

‘This is an insult to all men not just to me,’ Amin told Azfamily.com.

‘I left the store. I was upset like hell because I’ve been so insulted and humiliated in public for the charge of being a man.’

Imagine how much worse it would have been for him had he been seen talking to a child who looked lost.
