I took my 9-month-old into walmart to change her diaper and when I walked in there were two school aged boys standing right next to the changing table…it made me really uncomfortable changing my daughter because they looked over a few times and I truly do not understand why they were in there to begin with as they looked to be 9 & 10 and old enough to use the mens restroom on their own…I went to speak with the manager and they did nothign about it so i had to wait until they left the restroom to change her…is it just me or shoudl they not have been there?

My boy is 10 and he goes in the woman’s restroom with me. How can I protect him if he is in the men’s room???

Maybe they were standing upfront waiting for their Mom - if their were stalls and that was at the door area ! People are men maybe she was afraid to let them stand outside alone ? I wouldn’t leave my little boy where I couldn’t see him but I also don’t use public restrooms

I personally bring my 7 year old into the bathroom with me. In this day and age I cannot trust OTHER people to leave my kid unattended outside of the restroom. I generally will use the handicap stall and make my kid face the wall so he doesn’t see anything he shouldn’t but if it’s not available he will stand off to the side.

When you hear horror stories of little boys being molested/raped/photographed when they’re in a mens room alone, you’re more cautious with your son. You’re a new mom, so maybe you don’t get it yet. Boys should be protected at all costs just like girls.
Sorry you are uncomfortable, but my sons safety is more important to me than your feelings.

No, they should not be in there. But short of calling police and causing a massive scene with the boys Mom, idk what management could do. Remember, all 
are not well behaved and couldn’t be trusted in a public restroom alone.

With the human trafficking these days, I don’t think we can judge any momma for doing what she feels is safe. A conversation should be had with those boys prior to going in though regarding respecting peoples personal space for sure.

So did you change her and they looked at her or did you wait until they left?
I have a 9yr old SS and I don’t send him into the restroom alone.
Boys are target sit sexual abuse, too.
You could have just asked them to turn around while you changed the diaper.

Yes. You are wrong. Because the world is so crazy and ugly and people can’t be trusted…I refuse to send my 9 year old boy into a publi bathroom alone (if I have nobody to go with him, he comes with me). He is non verbal and can’t tell me if something bad happened in the boys room.
Plus…
You should parent the way you choose and me the way I choose.
Use a different bathroom if you are uncomfortable but I bet a 9 year old boy isn’t really interested in watching you change a diaper…they were probably waiting as instructed by their own parent.
If I have to use a public restroom, I would bring my son in with me because there are too many creepy people out there and I’m not risking him getting kidnapped

If they had been little girls and looked over, would you be uncomfortable? No. Because of the different sex, right? Just because of the sexual organ between their legs doesn’t mean they automatically have ill intentions.
I would not let my son stand alone in Walmart to get snatched up. Not to mention you have no idea how old they actually were could have been a tall couple of 7/8 year olds

I take my sons in the restroom with me. If their father isn’t with me, they go with me because I don’t want them getting done before me and standing outside the restroom waiting on us. You could’ve just spoke up to their mother and just said it made you uncomfortable, I’m sure she would have understood. You also could’ve just waited until they left to change her
My 6 year old goes into the women’s restroom with me. It’ll be a LONG time before I let him go into the men’s restroom alone. You always have the option of changing kids in the car if it makes you that uncomfortable🤷♀️

It’s you! My son is 8 but gets mistaken for a 11 or 12 year old because for how tall he is and he always goes in the bathroom with me. The only time he goes in the men’s is if there is a male that I trust with us. There is too many child predators out there and the men’s restroom is one of the places little boys get molested.

I would bring my son into the ladies room. He’s 6. There is ZERO way I’m letting him stand outside a ladies room by himself. And it sounds like these boys were told to stand there and wait for their Mom. Sorry if you don’t like it - those are still CHILDREN.
