Especially wanting a strange man to wipe her bum......Dan looks nice, but so do many less honourable adults.
Sorry, unlike this womans  facebook friends ....I don't find this funny at all.

I think its hilarious Syl

Kids ill simply say and speak honestly, because that barrier many people have called and invented, is etiquette.
Though, I know a few adults who speak about their toilet habits and think is hilarious.
We cannot hold a child to the same standards people perceive on etiquette.
The kid was just being friendly.

Too friendly.
I am not talking of the little girl talking about her poo....I have been around kids long enough to know its one of their favourite subjects, I am thinking more of their openness in wanting to cuddle complete strangers, and asking them to wipe their bums.
Their bodies are private,.... innocently asking strangers to wipe their bums or touch them anywhere privately is dangerous...its never too early to teach kids that.

I see no issue with this at all, if its within the company of parents.
Some kids are just friendly and have seen this go the other way, where a 5 year old child, was told that cuddling boys at school was wrong, as if it as something sexual.
I posted an article on this here on this forum.
It was an innocent request, which her mother should explain to her after not to ask off people she does not know. You are simple reading into this too much

Maybe I am, it just made me feel uncomfortable when I read it.
Yes the parent was there, but if her reaction was amusement who is to say the little girls wont continue to speak to strangers like this when their mother isn't around?

The case of kids cuddling at school is different, though even then I think it should be addressed.
Just because one child is affectionate that doesn't mean that another wants to be grabbed hold of and cuddled.
Its nothing to do with it being sexual, cuddles are great, but there's a time and a place.

The thing is a kid may well ask this at school of a teacher and could have become normalized that she does ask. Then its up to the parents to teach her to wipe her own bottom lol
I think its innocent, but, I doubt she would be left in the company of a stranger for this to happen Syl, though see your point.

It would be great to let kids grow up free and easy, trusting everyone, my own son used to take anyones hand....I swear he would have trotted off with Jack the ripper without giving us a second glance, we had to watch him like a hawk till he was old enough to understand not every stranger can be trusted.

Its a fine line between making kids aware and not making them think people are out to harm them, because obviously the majority of strangers are nice people.

But would she be left at that age with a stranger Syl?
I very much doubt it.
Again it was harmless.
