A:
I'm really sorry you had to go through that situation. It must have been incredibly stressful, especially when people jumped to conclusions without understanding what was happening. Being accused of something so serious in public can feel overwhelming, and I imagine you felt helpless in that moment.
When situations like this arise, it's important to remember that your relationship with your child is what matters most. Focus on reassuring your son that everything is okay, even if things felt scary at the time. Kids pick up on our emotions, so calming yourself can help calm him as well.
If this happens again, staying composed and cooperative can help you manage the situation. If the police are involved, calmly explain your side of the story and be clear about what happened. You have every right to defend yourself and your relationship with your son.
