[gatt] Say "Hang on. I need to go ask permission to go with you."

Ok, that's reasonable. That was not the message I took away from the
video I saw, which was to run screaming.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. These kids after being taught safety for
a week were willing to not just talk to me but walk away from the play
ground into the parking lot where I could have easily stuck them in a car an
driven away.

It wasn't clear, but that was because I read too quickly. What I take
away from this is that five year olds are hard to teach behavior to.
This is not surprising - it is why it takes so long to raise children.
I suspect it comes down to a perception of safety. Kids percieve adults
to be safe, not dangerous. For the most part, they are right.

My impression (in general) is that our "safety conscious culture" is
going a bit overboard, and that this will have (is having) long term
adverse consequences. And although children are not little airplanes,
the same kind of thinking applies to them too. (just to bring it on topic)
