Barefoot child at Wal-Mart

[cassiesmom]

I don't think this thread's issue is about the kid being barefoot, but about the potential safety danger of going without shoes, and the potential of stepping on something that would cause injury. A piece of broken glass, a sliver of metal, a nail, a caustic liquid - any of these which could be in the parking lot, or even the store floor.

Thank you, Pomtzu- you said it better than I could!

It's not that the child was barefoot, it's where (potential hazards to be stepped in/on both inside the store and in the parking lot). I guess you'd have to see the parking lot. Things out there no one should step on.

I've seen children in their PJ's there and at the supermarket - doesn't bother me.

Much ado about nothing.

I'm sorry I brought it up.
