9. I think it's a really sad commentary on today's climate.

Given this day and age, and justifiably so, I guess. But everyone's first thought when these dolls appeared was that it had to have been the work of a stalker or sexual predator -- the possibility that it was just a random act of kindness apparently never entered anyone's mind.

I'm sure it never occurred to the old lady that her actions would be so misinterpreted, but then she is coming from a different time.

Sad to think that you automatically have to assume the worst anymore, but as I said, this is what things have come to.
