I flipped out when an elderly woman reached into my then 4-day-old daughter's carseat/stroller and yanked out her soother, saying "you don't need that!" I smiled and pushed the stroller away, tossed the soother in the garbage and gave her a clean, sterilized one out of my bag. Ugh! Don't touch my kids!
On the other hand, we were at an event and I saw a boy of about 2-3 playing alone running in and out of a bus shelter and onto the sidewalk next to a very busy street in the downtown of a large metropolitan area. I pushed my daughter (in her stroller) over to him and asked him where his adults were. He gestured vaguely to the throng of people at the event. I guided him over to his mother (without touching him). His mother, who was across a football field from him and way out of earshot/eyesight, just glared at me like I had no business interfering. So sorry... not!
